to get the pulse. In Mexico, first, they were saying most Americans did not support Trump, and Hillary won by 3 million votes. The pulse has changed to Americans let him be elected, did not vote, did not speak out, etc. He represents America. It is a more generalized anger toward America now. DT is not only insulting and bullying them publicly, and telling them they are so bad that we need a wall, even if there is now a net emigration south, he now threatens to destroy their economy, and he can. No one but DT could have alienated our friend, passive Mexico. I do not blame the Mexicans though. They had to stand up. As do the Iranians, Iraqis, and on and on. He is destroying that which we aspire to stand. After 9 days, this, what after a months. He doesn't slow down. He gains momentum from conflict and bullying.
