Trump Wishes America Had Invaded Mexico Instead of Iraq
Source: Mediaite
As Donald Trump continues to both suffer economically and benefit politically following his controversial remarks about Mexican rapists, the candidate has attempted to shift the focus of his ire from the Mexican people to the Mexican government. That strategy appeared to reach its apex over the weekend when Trump reportedly said the U.S. should have invaded Mexico instead of Iraq.
According to an anonymous attendee of a speech Trump gave to the Hollywood conservative group Friends of Abe on Friday night, the candidate reiterated his stance on the Iraq War, arguing that the removal of Saddam Hussein eliminated an important check on Iran.
Instead, we should have invaded Mexico, Trump then added to what was reportedly rousing applause from the crowd in attendance, which included conservative celebrities like Lou Ferrigno, Paul Sorvino and Trumps new friend Ann Coulter.
This shift in Trumps rhetoric to focus on the Mexican government, which he claims is intentionally sending its worst criminals into the United States, was also seen in remarks made by his longtime business advisor Michael Cohen on CNNs Reliable Sources.

Either way he is gonna get out of the race at some point.

This isn't policy. It's pathological.

We can still invade Mexico, just as soon as Trump gets sworn in.

Are the GOP polls faked? I'm wondering if he's on the DNC payroll to help the Democrats. No one can be as mud fence dumb as this.
Keep it up, Scrooge McDuck.

His threats will bring 'actions' on Mexicans who live in America and Americans who vacation in Mexico.

So when Coulter spoke with Foxs Alan Colmes on his radio show last night, Colmes asked her what happened. Coulter, who insisted that the people want Trump to be president, said Trump is magnificent now.
so she said he was a clown and it was a big act a couple of years ago - but now he is magnificent.....
