Good old propaganda from the AP.

I wonder what percentage of Mexico would welcome becoming America. Not reclaiming their old territories, to enlarge Mexico, but to be under American leadership.

The media is so biased they’re now making up stories about how sad it is that America isn’t sending MORE jobs out of the country!

These Mexicans get it - it’s because of Trump. The flip-side should be grateful Americans cheering Trump. However, all the lying media can do is try to tear down Trump and call him a Demigod for “meddling” in business.

This story is the essence of “media bias”. Are we going to start seeing articles about the heartbreak of Communist Chinese workers?
