Telling comment by Carlos Salinas on Trump

In an interview Carlos Salinas lamented the relationship between the USA and Mexico, a relationship that, in his experience, was based on respect, and had been damaged by Donald Trump’s arrival in the White House.

Salinas said, “I had a relationship with two presidents of the United States, George Bush senior and Bill Clinton, and I encountered great politicians in each one of them . . . [both were] very respectful with Mexico and it’s regrettable that doesn’t seem to be the situation now.”

For Carlos, that does not augur well for an expectation that Trump will support the non-extradition of Keith Raniere, the leader of the cult in which Carlos’s son, Emiliano is a member of the High Rank.

    I would not read to much into that statement. Trump is a undereducated moron. Usually when you want to achieve something diplomatically you use soft power, which he is completely unaware off. By insulting people left and right and cutting positions of diplomats he screws himself and the US over.

    Would you want to talk to him as a person. Some have to do so as he is the president of the USA, but that is it. And to be honest this is exactly what Salinas is saying. Trump is a moron and I will not talk to him unless my job forces me to do so.

    I would conclude this with what Ms Merkel said. The US have been an ally we were able to rely upon – these times are over.

    Carlos Salinas seems to be implying that he hasn't got this President in this pocket unlike his predecessors

    All these two-faced, say one thing do another when they get in power, enhance my privilege and serve my self, politicians are fucking corrupt. How the hell do you think they got in power in the first place?
