BREAKING: Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto says he has informed the White House he has canceled trip to Washington.
This from a country where millions of its people totally disrespect American law and rules.
Considering what Mexico has gotten away with and what they’ve been allowed to do for decades, I have nothing but contempt for Mexico. As well as the corrupt in D.C. who allowed them to sh*t on us for decades.
BREAKING - Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto Cancels Meeting with TRUMP!
President Trump (I just love saying that) should next adopt the same immigrant rules that Mexico uses to govern their immigrants. Let the hypocrites spin around that.
I think he’s setting this up for a big NAFTA announcement.
Trump has Trump’d Mexico.
PayPal transfers also .
"The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico.
It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA
with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost.
If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall,
then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting."Donald Trump

Being reported on Twitter that six Mexican-American Senators/Congressman ASKED that the Mexican President not meet with Trump.
Gotta be Democrats.
Mexico calling Trump’s bluff.
Only one problem with that, TRUMP DOESN’T BLUFF.
I'd go higher than 50%.
The outrage of Mexico's elites towards Trump's policies has nothing to do with their BS talk of "human rights" or "racism" and everything to do with the fact that remittances account for a significant chunk of Mexico's GDP (it's even higher for many poorer Central American countries), combined with the fact that Mexico needs an outlet for a surplus population that its economy and infrastructure can't support.
I believe you’re correct. It’s been a great 6 days. Look at all that got done in less than a week compared to nothing getting done in 8+ years.
Someone had to be the example ..... Mexico, I guess you are IT!
The peso took a tumble. ruh roh.
Good. Now he’s got to have Congress withhold Mexico’s $50 million in aid we send them yearly.
The hombre in that photo would have been a great running mate for Hillary or for Jeb Bush, t-shirt and all.
I guess he’ll get the bill in the mail then.
“an act of love”
He is actually following Trump’s negotiation advice. Sometimes you have to walk away.
Trouble is, it only means he will have to crawl back at some point.
He has nothing to negotiate with. He needs us much more than we need him.
Trump tweeted this morning that if Pena Nieto wasn't willing to discuss paying for the wall then he should just cancel. I doubt the U.S. congressmen had anything to do with the decision.
They openly say it’s revenge for Texas and the Southwest. They’re now attempting a takeover. Yet why would we want to be shitty Mexico?
