I just caught this juicy piece lmao. Apparently it's from back in July, but Donald Trump said we should have invaded Mexico instead of Iraq.

This man is a fucking asshole. I have no respect for anyone who supports this dribbling fucking moron.

Nice source.

Rolling Stone had an article about it too. It sounds like a Trump line. Is it that hard to believe?

Why, you want to invade Mexico also?

ballsalsa said: You guys are all failing to recognize the benefits of invasion. Invasion benefits everyone.
Right wingers should be happy because: -The southern border would become so short that it would be relatively easy to fence off and patrol -New Markets for American businesses to expand into -New Markets for real estate development -It simplifies the manufacturing process by unifying the labeling and packaging regulations of the 2 countries. -There are vast mexican oil reserves -jobs, jobs, jobs. The entire country would have to be rebuilt to American standards. -more jobs. Mexican Waters would become open for exploitation by our fishing fleets. -no more evil cartels -no more illegals sending their paychecks home to Mexico
Left-wingers should be happy because: -Massive reduction in deportations etc. -according to fox news, most of those new americans would vote democrat. -Massive increase in standard of living for mexicans. -jobs, jobs, jobs, see explanation above. -it would become safe to vacation in mexico again(i guess that would be cool for right-wingers too) -wage increases across the board due to illegals no longer feeling obliged to work for less than citizens. -greater availability of dank mexican food -more impetus for the school system to reform and teach languages in elementary school instead of high school
There are probably loads of benefits i haven't thought of yet too. Seriously. This is not a troll. Think about it for a minute. Manifest Destiny took us from sea to shining sea, and the Monroe Doctrine established this hemisphere as our domain and sphere of influence. Annexing the rest of Mexico is the logical next step.

Ballsalsa, I commend your insights into this Trumpism. You've convinced me. Let's invade Mexico.

Every story I found had the same anonymous attendee source. This supposed statement was said at some Hollywood conservative groups event and sounded as in jest if it's even true at all. You must be digging considering this was two months ago.

I heard it on youtube and just pulled up an article on it. It originated from LA weekly, apparently. Whether it's true or not, I think it's funny, and true to his character.
Would you still support Trump if the source was more verifiable?

If the comment is true it was most likely said kiddingly as a callback to the initial subject that cemented him into the forefront of media coverage. Without knowing the exact context in which he said it I can't comment on it.

Trump may have accidentally made a good point.
The narco terrorism on our southern border is much more deserving of our anti-terrorist fervor than some Arabs in the desert on the opposite side of the world.

Ok, so assuming someone HAD to be invaded... nope, I still don't think Mexico lmao! I really think North Korea is the #1 country that we could justifiably do some regime busting in, but they have nukes, so that's off the table. They have been gettin frisky with S Korea lately though!

I don't think there's any nation worthy of invasion at this point in time.
Every time we invade somewhere it ends up worse. Let's go back to isolationism, we'll be aight.

I'm fairly anti-war, and i'm generally not a single-issue voter, but annexing mexico seems like the most direct way to fix both their problems and ours. two birds with one stone. Its a war we could actually win, with the natives perhaps even actually welcoming us as liberators.

Annexing Mexico would only give us another large country of poor workers to deal with.

I think they said that about viet nam and Iraq. Last thing we need is more territory with desperately poor people and narcos running most areas.
