MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico's president was savaged on social media and in political circles following his joint press conference Wednesday with Donald Trump, with many seeing a national humiliation in his welcoming of a man who has derided migrants as rapists and criminals.

President Enrique Pena Nieto said Mexicans felt "aggrieved" and had disagreements with the Republican presidential candidate, but he never did what people here wanted most: demand that Trump apologize. Adding to the anger, in the press conference Trump repeated his promise to build a border wall between the countries.

"Trump can leave at ease now. The humiliation was complete," Televisa news anchor Carlos Loret de Mola tweeted, after lamenting that Trump would dare to reiterate his intention to build a wall "in our face and home."

We can build all the fences we want on American soil. Just because this one happens to keep out the undesirable neighbors to the south they are aggrieved.

Clean up your country.

Stop bitching.

Then maybe we wouldn’t need a wall.

Canadians don’t come down here and mooch off our system. Why do you?

Mexico is tough on illegal immigrants but wants the gringos to be permissive.

I understand.

Misleading headline (it’s AP— what do you expect). It doesn’t sound like “Mexico” is angry at their President; it sounds like it’s their loud-mouth, anti-American press that’s angry. Journalists are the same all over.

With any luck the Mexicans in Mexico will boycott the USA, and the Mexicans in the USA will be so incensed they will go back home.

The Mexican president invited Trump. Perhaps he realizwes that Trump may well win.

And of course Trump let them know he is going to have the wall built. Closing down the US border to drug trafficking, to human trafficking, an illegal crossing will actually ultimately help Mexico too.

But first and foremost, it will help the US, and as a candidate for the Presidency, that would be Trump’s number one job.

Trump knows all of this and this trip is really an embarrassment to Hillary, Obama and all of the RINOs...and I am glad he is embarrassing them.

Look, there are those who are not only illegally in this country, but they are also murderers and rapists. What SANE country would NOT be mad at that?

They should be humiliated that their second greatest income as a nation (first some years) are remittances from the people they dump into neighboring countries. All the deaths and injuries to American citizens from criminal/drunk illegal aliens is humiliating. Parasitism is humiliating.

Be humiliated, while we build the wall.

AP finds the voices it wants to express its thoughts.

It is a little game they play to convince the gullible that they are “objective”.

This is AP, what do you ecpect. The specifics are nebulous. who on “social media?” Of course an anchor would be harsh, but it is just another hit piece by the AssPress.
