Instead of denying the inevitable, why not start talks on how best to pay for it to save face and money for Mexico? Trump doesn't even need to negotiate with Mexico and could do this without even picking up the phone. Pena will go down in flames if he doesn't come to reality.
Pena is not popular with citizens of Mexico. Mexico is on the verge of a revolution about corruption by cartels and their economy tanking. Our media reports their unrest as protests about gas prices but the price of gas was just the final straw for many that have been unhappy over many issues.
Widespread corruption is coming to light among their leadership and one of the recent issues was when Pena was telling people they had to suck up the price of fuel because the country is broke his wife bought a mansion that cost around 8 million US dollars. Some say to top it off she “may” have used government funds to buy it.
The Mexican people turned a blind eye to Cartels but now are protesting their power in their government and wealth as well. To further confuse the issue the average Mexican protestor thinks the US needs Mexico worse than they need us, and is anti-Trump because of his stance on enforcing our border and immigration law.
In short the Mexican people want Pena to stand up to Trump in a big way, they want everything their way with no compromise. They are like our loony left.
