Trump went to Mexico, and you can guess how it went

I'm just going to get into it.

Trump went into Mexico, and it was a disaster for his campaign.

The first time he's ever met a foreign dignitary comes on the outset of some truly bombastic rhetoric that has made the demagogue famous all over the campaign trail (i.e. building a wall, calling Mexicans drug dealers and rapists, saying he would deport all undocumented immigrants, the list goes on and on).

What strikes me as a bit strange is how Trump said that he never raised discussion about the payment of the wall, something that the Mexican president, Enrique Pena Nieto, was quick to refute. The dignitary stated that yes, they did talk about the cost of the wall, and that he made it quite clear that Mexico wouldn't pay.

The Clinton campaign was quick to say that Trump choked, by not pressing any of the issues that he had vocalized so much about, and that he had been beat in the room, which is rough for the quality of his prowess as a businessman.

I think that this is just another example of Trump and his inadequacy. Honestly, we've all heard the countless true narratives, and today we're just regaled with another tale of idiocy.

We have a choice in November. Make the right one.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
