Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is known as AMLO
AMLO visited Washington DC and met President Trump on July 8, 2020
the visit was to celebrate the NAFTA 2 signed in November 2018
i.e., the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement
the treaty is pro-corporations; labor is not a big beneficiary, as
Pete Dolack/Laura Carlsen explain that in Counterpunch magazine
NAFTA 2 came into effect on July 1, 2020
AMLO was not a signatory – he took oath on December 1, 2018
at that time, AMLO’s supporters happily chanted:
“¡Presidente!” “You are not alone.” “It’s an honor to be with Obrador”
AMLO promised:
“I will not let you down.”
.
Trump announced his presidential candidacy June 2015
in his speech, Trump’s oral member ejaculated his racism
“… [The Mexicans are] bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
is AMLO a criminal? did he bring drugs? is he a racist?
no no no
Trump had left a little window open in his 2015 speech
“And some [Mexicans], I assume, are good people.”
yes, AMLO is a good Mexican; Trump needs him at this point in time
Trump has an election coming in November
Mexican/Latino votes would be helpful in the election
so an invitation was sent to AMLO and Canada’s Trudeau
Trudeau who signed the agreement, knew this visit was PR; not important
he declined the invitation
AMLO displayed no self-respect to refuse the invitation from
a guy who called Mexicans names, including, “killers”
AMLO also jumped the border wall Trump built on the US-Mexico border
AMLO came to pay his obeisance to the racist tyrant
also to thank Trump “for his gesture of support and solidarity”
because Trump sold ventilators to Mexico
thanks is usually due when when things are given freely – not SOLD
and all killer, rapist, drug dealer comments were erased from memory
