You want our leader to make policy decisions based on someone offending him?
no, I want our leader to operate from the position of strength and power that is due the leader of America. it has nothing to do with 'offending' anyone; the simple fact is is that mexico has been taking a dump all over us for years both economically and at the border.
America is the first global superpower in history to 1) operate from a position of political correctness and 2) display meek and often submissive stances/reactions in dealings with inferior nations.
for example, mexico turns a blind eye and passively allows and likely encourages tens of millions of its 'problem/burden' citizens to illegally enter the untied states. everyone knows what is going on. yet instead of doing anything about it, THEIR leaders have the audacity to make demands of US, to opine publically how the united states should 'do more' for these said illegals and basically should simply allow them all in and give them whatever 'rights' they demand...the last several Mexican presidents have all been of this opinion and have not been shy about saying it...look it up. if a country can simply export its poor/problem people, they don't have to deal with them; they are happy to see them go and probably laugh at the 'pendejo' US politicians who bend over backwards in political correctness to oblige them.
America needs to operate like the power it is...WE hold all the cards and have ALL the power in these negotiations, period. if Mexico was abusing Rome, or the British Empire, or any great power in history like they are doing to us, how do you think they would have handled things??
the era of letting America be walked all over for the sake of political correctness needs to end-THAT is why I can appreciate the dynamic of the above exchange. THAT is the attitude America needs to take when a lesser nation tries to strong-arm US.
