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.
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.
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.
Peso tumbling...guess they are paying for that wall after all...
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.
Then I suggest that Mr. Trump immediately order a cessation of all foreign aid to Mexico.
Hard ball is . . . well . . . hard!
It’s political chess. Mexico just put a pawn in harm’s way.
Mexico will lose this battle.
Who cares? We have enough Mexican citizens living here. We need less Mexican citizens here and more in Mexico.
1.He needs to tell his citizens to come home.
2. He needs to eliminate corruption in his administration, in the Federal police force, and in the military.
3. He needs to crush the drug cartels.
4. He need to change federal policies to create jobs.
I doubt he will do any of that as it is much easier to moan and groan about Presidente Trumffff.
Behind the scenes chess game going on. Nieto is in trouble in Mexico, and needs to appear strong. Trump knows that, and sends Nieto a tweet to stay home if Mexico refuses to pay. Trump tells and encourages Nieto to act strong and cancel. It makes Nieto look good at home, and adds a favor he needs to return to Trump. Trump wins, again.
They weren’t ready to meet anyway.
