This one might be my favorite: It was when he said Mexico &#8220;is sending&#8221; rapists, murderers, drug dealers and assorted other criminals in the United States. The implication, of course, is that the Mexican <em>government<\/em> is doing this. How, then, might President Pena Nieto broach that subject with Trump?<\/p>\n<p>How about, too, the idea that Trump is going to &#8220;make Mexico pay for the wall&#8221;? That has gone over, um, quite badly in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>And this seems to beg the question: Was the invitation by the head of the very government that Trump has insulted a trap, a set-up made to embarrass the GOP nominee?<\/p>\n<p>Have a good day, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald J.
