Hillary Camp Claims Trump “Choked” In Mexico

On Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” Donald Trump Jr., GOP nominee Donald Trump’s son, reacted to Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine accusing Trump Sr. of two-facedness.

Kaine accused the Republican nominee of talking “out of both sides of his mouth” and claimed that he “choked” during his visit to Mexico.

Trump Jr. wasn’t having any of that.

“I think it’s ridiculous,” he began. “That has no credence.

“Anyone who knows anything about a deal or negotiation you build a relationship first,” he pointed out. “You don’t go with the hardest line aspect of a thing on day one. We’ve been very clear. We’ve never backed away from that. There are methodologies by which we can do it.”

The younger Trump had a point — the nominee wouldn’t necessarily go on the offensive against Mexico immediately, being abrasive and difficult. Although the left would love to paint him that way, that has really never been his style.

He’s a businessman; he’s building a relationship.

In order to succeed in a deal, you need to reach out to your partners (or rivals) and understand where they come from.

As Sun Tzu famously put it: “Know yourself and know your enemy, and you need not fear the result of a thousand battles.”

And Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton doesn’t know her enemy. Not only that, but she doesn’t know business, as Trump Jr. pointed out.

“Hillary Clinton will regurgitate sound bites that someone much wittier than her will write for her,” he said. “That’s the way they’ve conducted their entire lives. My father has done these things, he’s created those jobs. He’s done it in the real world where real people’s lives, their families, their families’ livelihoods and well-beings depend on him.
