Donald Trump's recent trip to Mexico proved to be mind boggling to both Americans and Mexicans. After routinely insulting Latino voters and threatening to build a wall on the Mexican border, Mexican president Enrinque Pena Nieto welcomed the republican nominee into the country. So why would Donald Trump engage Nieto? Likely because he's losing the election and this is a last ditch effort to still appear bold before voters.
It wasn't a great moment for Mexico either. Actually, it was an embarrassment. Months ago Nieto stated he would never support Trump or this insane wall. However, the Mexican President has changed his tune now that he barely has a 20% approval rating. Nieto disgraced his country by being complicit with Trump's politics and even ended up painting the controversial border wall as something beneficial for both countries (it isn't).
Doing something like this is terrible for everyone involved. Trump is desperately trying to recapture the Latino vote, but the polls are showing minority voters are flocking to Hillary. In fact, current polls show Hillary winning by two points or more in many historically blue states other than Florida. Meaning Trump not only has to come out of a loss, but he has to convert historically blue states into red ones. This isn't good news for the Kraft-Dinner-hot-dog-combo that is Trump.
While it's possible for Trump to come from behind and take the lead, it's not very likely. So let's a breath and collect ourselves. The world needs Trump to lose right now.
