FILE - In this Feb. 10, 2011 file photo, Donald Trump addresses the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington. It’s the weird issue that won’t go away, and it’s forcing GOP presidential contenders and other Republican leaders to pick sides: do they think President Obama was born outside the United States and is therefore disqualified to be president? Polls show that a remarkable two-thirds of all Republican voters either think Obama was born abroad or they aren’t sure. With Donald Trump stirring the pot, other potential candidates are distancing themselves from his comments to varying degrees. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File) MORE LESS

Staying on script won’t work for Trump: too much sewer water under the bridge.

Oh ohh. The NRA is not going to like this, Donnie. You gave President Nieto a platform to cry out loud and clear that the illegal gun running from U.S. to Mexico made possible by lax gun laws and an absent Congress kills tens of thousands more Mexicans than illegal aliens kill Americans.

Edit, And now Trump echoes Nieto by agreeing gun running from U.S. to Mexico is a problem. Does this mean he now supports new stringent federal laws to regulate Internet and gun show sales and to provide for universal background checks and longer waiting periods? Answer: No. This is a BS show to make him appear presidential instead of the know-nothing he is.

Now they are AMAZING people… all about Trump again bragging on how many he employs. He looks very uncomfortable. He’s trying to straddle the fence between being there in front of the Mexican people and delivering a blazing indictment of immigration policy to his base tonight.

So Trump’s acting like he’s doing this all to help Mexico from losing out to China. Unreal.
