    Well, Trump was trying to look Presidential, but someone on his crew "of only the most outstanding people" forgot to bring an American flag. Can you imagine the complaints and howling if Obama went to a meeting with another head of state and didn't have a US flag in the background?

    Trump is just the GOP nominee, he's not a head of state for now at least.

    I am not aware that a US flag on a stage indicates that the person on the stage is a head of state. What witchcraft is this?

    What? Trump was in Mexico at the invitation of their president, but he was not representing the US in any official capacity. Whatever terms they came to doesn't apply, this was a campaign trip by Trump in a foreign country, not a treaty negotiation.

    So what? Trump is one of two people that is going to BE the president of the United States. He definitely represents a large chunk of Americans. Take a look at any rally, any public appearance by Trump. There are at least four or five, usually more flags behind his podium. But this time there's no flags. What probably happened is Trump tried to bring one and couldn't persuade Mexican president Nieto to have a US flag on stage.

    If it wasn't a negotiation why did Trump announce that they had agreed on five points?

    Oh, look. Here's a US flag behind Romney when he was the GOP candidate and he visited Israel on a campaign trip.

    I don't think it would have been appropriate since he was not representing the USA. If he would have placed a US flag behind him you would have slammed him for misrepresentation in a foreign country. Trump cannot do anything right with some people, they get blind with hatred for the man.

    re-hashing old stuff, but many, many Evangelicals refused to vote for a "cult member"

    Romney being a Mormon was not an issue for me. Romney being a liberal was.

    This is a ridiculous statement. The BIG Liar in this campaign is Trump.
    This is a ridiculous statement. Trump is a HUGE LIAR. Just listen to what he said a few years ago.

    Then Trump completely reverses his position (not unusual) and trashes Mexico one hour later.

    The hatred of Hillary Clinton by Trump Supporters does not allow them to see Trump for who he really is.

    Sounds just like Hillary's "basket of deplorables". If you hate lying and hate abortions then you must have a hatred of those who do the lying and support the abortions. If you think marriage is God's idea between one man and one woman then you are homophobic. If you believe your country ought to have strong borders and controlled immigration then you are xenophobic. If you believe it is proper for police officers to shoot gun wheeling criminals resisting arrest then you are a racist.

    Please reply to my posting of Trump's real beliefs in his own words. He supports abortion at any time in the pregnancy. Do you agree with his statements? The notion of us building a physical wall around America and somehow thinking Mexico will pay for it is absurd. It's getting to the point where we are so in favor of abandoning the principles America was built on that I think it was be appropriate to tear down the Statue of Liberty.

    “Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

    I hate what Hilary stands for just like I hate what Trump stands for and there in lies the rub for Trump supporters. Their hatred for Hilary blinds them to who Trump is because they have reduced it down to a binary choice, that ironically is between Clinton and a Clinton supporter.

    No Trump is an opportunist. I did a whole thread complete with video of Trump in his own words saying what he stands for.

    Here is question for you now, does the Alt Right back Trump?

    Racists say things like how a person's ethnicity will cause them to be biased in a decision.

    Trump tweeted this:
