BREAKING: Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto says he has informed the White House he has canceled trip to Washington.
CNN currently wailing and hand-wringing about this.
WINNING....
Mess with the bull you get the horns.
Good! He’s a liar anyway. He promised that he’d call all of his Mexican National home if Trump got elected. He needs to get off his ass and do it.
AFTER President TRUMP said if you think you won’t be paying for it, don’t waste a trip up here.
meanwhile...
we clutch out collective pearls!
My understanding is that Trump proffered the statement Mexico should then not meet.
If I am wrong, then I’ll admit but Media can’t be allowed to turn this around. Just sayin’
Good, I guess that’s his answer on paying for the wall.
Now have customs start turning Mexican trucks away.
He’ll be crawling back in no time asking how high does Trump want the wall.
I thought that President Trump told him first not to bother coming if he wasn’t going to discuss/pay for wall. That was this morning.
First time I’ve ever seen a Mexican skip work.
Mexico stunned by Trump tweet on canceling trip
So this article is what? ‘fake news’ or is this current article ‘fake news’??? Which is it???
Wise decision, if you weren’t going to bring your checkbook or your negotiating skills anyway. Saves us more money.
I’d like to remind El Presidente that Mexico has a GDP that’s 1/20th of the United States, similar to the current exchange rate between our two currencies. This factors in the $60 billion trade advantage that Mexico currently enjoys. I’d urge Senor Pena to reconsider and humbly take his hat in his hand and keep the meeting with President Trump. They have way more to lose than gain with this silly display of machismo.
Mexico is a failed state and a security threat. Time we treated it that way.
He also needs to halt all DACA applications.
USCIS is still running Obamas illegal DACA program as before, 140-150 illegal aliens every day are being given work permits and permission to stay on top of the 750,000 already issued.
Even if they do not rescind all the papers already issued, they need to stop issuing new ones.
This is a truly LMAO moment. Presidente Piñata can just stay home.
Peso tumbling...guess they are paying for that wall after all...
Exactly.
Excellent! Next step is for President Trump to fulfill his promise to invoke the NAFTA exit trigger clause as he said he would do if Mexico and Canada didn’t want to negotiate within the current framework and start all over from scratch after scrapping NAFTA altogether.
You’re right. Trump did say, if we’re not talking about the wall, we’ve got nothing to discuss... (not a quote)
