Trump lost to EPN then lied about it. Good visit though, right guys?

EPN was apparently emasculated somewhere in the process, however, if he let Trump get away with lying to about in front of the press, I don't think you could say Trump was the one "lost" here. Trump allowed us to visualize what him being President would actually look like, and although he was as stale as cardboard, it wasn't horrifying, while Pena Nieto was left to impotently "correct the record" hours after the fact.

Now if the media takes Trump to task for claiming to have "not discussed" the key element of his signature policy proposal and the other assorted innovations in his politics he mentioned today, he might also end up a loser. But right now there is one big loser here, who might just end up losing his job over this: Enrique Pena Nieto.

Instead of a polite correction that gets ignored , tomorrow's headline goes from "Trumps trip to Mexico" to "Trump Lied", at least imo.

Soon Trump will tweet:

Little @EPN, who I thought was a friend, was wrong to say they won't pay for the wall. This is very unfair to me. SYSTEM IS RIGGED!
The wall just got ten feet higher!

Is that saying they have different views on what happened in the meeting or different views on who will pay for the wall?

If what EPN is saying is true then how inept is Donald Trump as a politician. Damn it, I am a Democrat, so I have seen my fair share of inept politicians. But man, Trump manages to air ball a layup every single time.

If EPN is telling the truth, it quite simply means he has no semblance of a backbone. Trump lied, sure, but he did nothing about it. He's the inept one here. Trump meanwhile is a lucky madman for managing to not be corrected until he was out of the country by which time it was all sufficiently hazy enough for his campaign to say whatever they wanted, as is their style.

Being publicly rebuked by the one foreign leader willing to meet him would have been far more embarrassing to Trump. Now it's just aides playing "he said, el dijo" rather than EPN telling Trump to his face that they did discuss the wall, and, for good measure, adding that if Trump "misunderstood me then, let me be very clear on this now-- we cannot and will not pay for your wall." That would have been powerful.

The more I think about this the more I think this was a "layup", as Yank said. It was a very easy point to score and EPN missed it.

If Pena-Nieto taped this conversation and released it, he would go from wuss to a reborn Emiliano Zapata

But isn't Mexico supposed to pay for it? The American budget deficit wouldn't come into play if it is on Mexico's budget
