I’m headed to Mexico City for a week on Wednesday. Mostly I just plan to be polite and low key, and avoid situations that might escalate (ie rowdy bars)

San Miguel? Really? It’s incredibly safe. Full of friendly Mexicans and returned Americans.

how deep in have you been? It gets a little shady when you get far away from the square and it thins out. I have a favorite local taco joint out there. But the cruisers aren’t going there at night!

But they haven’t made it back yet. I would not travel there, you may not be able to get back in.

I don't fear the Mexican people. They know what a loon Trump is and I don't think they're blaming all Americans for our bad government. I would fear that Trump would do something crazy like suspend flights from Mexico and then you'll have to hoof it across the border.

You get off the cruise ship and it feels like you are in an American strip mall except that there are more mexican people holding signs up selling excursions. I think there’s a Starbucks and a hooters, etc. if you booked through the ship they will take you directly from a meeting place on the ship to the bus. It’s probably a 10-20 minute drive to the dock and then they’ll put you on a boat. It’s about as low risk as you can imagine.
I agree other places in Mexico might be a little more problematic. There’s a lot of border towns with factories that basically only make things for export to the U.S. like dishwashers. Places like that might have layoffs and there might be a fair amount of anger. Same might be true on some agricultural areas.
