Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim said on Friday he is willing to help the government negotiate with Donald Trump, and called on Mexicans from all political parties to unite behind President Enrique Pena Nieto in his discussions with the U.S. president.

In a rare news conference by the generally media-shy mogul, Slim said Mexico needed to negotiate from a position of strength, noting that Trump, who he called a "great negotiator," represented a major change in how politics is conducted.

You have to have a position of strength to negotiate from a position of strength.

If that is him, he needs to be ignored.

Carlos didn't get rich for being stupid. He is not about to lose his BIG TEAT! If he can help it.

If the mexican president wants to have him as an advisor, I see no problem with that. But the final deal needs to be accepted and drawn up by the leaders of each respective country.

The only point I see up for negotiation is whether the Mexican government pays for the wall up front or Mexican ex-pats pay through fees on remittances. Well, maybe Mexican contractors want in in the bidding process.

If e is involved expect his employees at The NY Times to claim Trump got rolled in negotiations.

Slim offering to help makes Nieto look weak. Trump will most certainly use this to his advantage. Negotiations haven't even started, and Mexico has already lost.

Oh God this political theater is just too much.

Hoping that Tom Brady and Chicharito are involved in the roundtable.

Well, if Nieto gets to bring a second, Trump should as well. Is Mike Tyson available?

Is this offering of help the most blatant admission of weakness you have ever ever seen?!?

Trump should hang Zachary Taylor over his desk and bring Nieto and Slim to the Oval Office.
