Mike Huckabee says Donald Trump's trip to Mexico City could be the beginning of the end for Hillary Clinton's quest for the White House.

"It's no surprise that the media and Hillary Clinton are having a nuclear-level meltdown over Trump's joint press conference with the President of Mexico," the former Arkansas governor and GOP presidential candidate said Thursday on his Facebook page.



"It not only provided a visual image of Trump looking presidential (and being treated as such by a current President of a major ally), it also gave Trump a chance to prove that he can and will stand strongly by his positions without being combative.

"He came across as reasonable but tough, resolute and pro-American interests; not at all the unhinged cartoon character created by the left."

Huckabee believes it was a major moment for Trump's bumpy presidential run.

"Just as in 1980, most Americans are desperate for change; they just needed reassurance that the Republican nominee was palatable," he said.

"For [Ronald] Reagan, it was the debates. For Trump, this might be the tipping point that begins the collapse of Hillary's support as voters realize, to their great relief, that it's not necessary to hold their noses and vote for someone they don't like or trust."

On Wednesday, Trump and his campaign entourage traveled to Mexico City earlier to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

The pair discussed several issues, including NAFTA, keeping jobs in North America, and Trump's proposed border wall that will separate the two countries.
