What's he distracting people from?
THAT is the right question.
Trump has always been a shit stirrer. He attacks to set his gaming opponent on edge, then plays things the way that makes sense to him.
For instance, I believe that pissing off Pena Nieto is a ploy that will eventually re-open doors to Mexico during future negotiations, USA gaining a bit ...
... but Pena Nieto will be standing up to THE USA and thus become a machismo local/hometown hero. Once a "politico" like Peno Nieto has a history of standing up to "TeH Bully" it will be much more difficult for his socialist opponents to vote him out of office.
A few cartel punks aside, it is the socialists we do not want running Mexico.
Let us all give our new President a moment to find his "sea legs" before we make him walk the plank for spilling coffee in these harsh waters we kive in. please.
