Maybe Hillary Should Have Studied Jiu-Jitsu instead of YogaBy Clarice FeldmanAmong Hillary’s most preposterous, unsustainable lies about her emails was that she deleted only personal emails referencing wedding plans and yoga classes. If there were a grain of truth to the notion of Hillary practicing yoga I’d argue she’d have been better advised to study jiu-jitsu, because her opponent, Donald Trump is a master of that art, turning her attacks on him against her.
The prevailing fairytale spread by her camp is that he is the rough naïf in the thickets of oh-so-difficult to comprehend diplomacy while she is experienced on the world stage. Neither she nor her spokespersons when asked for examples could do more than point to the many miles she traveled as Secretary of State, a claim Carly Fiorina had fun with earlier in the race. She famously said, “"Like Mrs. Clinton I too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles but flying and traveling is an activity, it's not an accomplishment and unfortunately she didn't accomplish anything as Secretary of State."
This week, Trump proved Carly right and showed that he was vastly more clever than she in the art of diplomacy. Mexican President Nieto invited both candidates to a meeting in Mexico to discuss issues between the two countries. Hillary turned down the invitation, Trump, with a far busier schedule -- a rally in Washington State followed by one in California and another in Arizona, quickly took him up on the offer.
The naysayers prematurely wrote this off as a disastrous move on his part. Instead it was a resounding success.
As Roger L. Simon observed:
Donald Trump's performance at his dual statement cum brief press conference with Mexican President Enrique Nieto on Wednesday should put shivers in the Hillary Clinton camp even more than the new L.A. Times poll numbers showing a sudden bounce for Trump.
Trump was a hundred percent presidential in his performance, showing that he was not about to put his foot in his mouth on the global stage as easily as Hillary's supporters are hoping. All this is occurring with her email/foundation metastasizing. This election is not over.
Trump had a five-point plan for the border, including the building of the wall, that emphasized a partnership with Mexico. Very smart. That Trump decided not to discuss with the Mexican president how the wall would be paid for was undoubtedly wise. Indeed, one simple manner of payment would be a taxation of remittances, which wouldn't involve the Mexican government at all.
