Jorge Ramos rips Mexican president for not standing up to Trump

A prominent Mexican TV news anchor is blasting Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto for inviting Donald Trump to Mexico City.

Jorge Ramos, anchor for Univision and Fusion, criticized Peña Nieto for not holding Trump accountable for some of his previous rhetoric on illegal immigration and Mexican-Americans.

Instead, during a joint press conference in Mexico Wednesday, Peña affirmed that the two men would work together to end illegal immigration if Trump is elected president.

"What a poor, lukewarm and fearful response by [Nieto] before Trump," Ramos tweeted in Spanish Wednesday. Where is the indignation to Trump's insults?"

"Trump leaves Mexico without apologizing, without promising respect to Mexicans and without changing in any way his anti-immigrant platform," Ramos added.

In his remarks, Trump called for the end of the "humanitarian disaster" of illegal immigration, saying it "must be solved quickly."

It was a pivot from the day the bombastic billionaire began his primary campaign by declaring that Mexican illegal immigrants were rapists and criminals and saying, "Mexico is not our friend."

While he softened his stance Wednesday, saying to Peña Nieto, "I call you a friend" and lavishing praise on the Mexican people, many will be focused on his speech in Phoenix, Ariz., Wednesday night that will be focused on the topic of immigration.

Ramos has had many brush ups with the Republican presidential nominee, including when the campaign escorted him out of one of Trump's press conferences last year.

Ha! Jorge Ramos has been insulted by Mexico president Nieto. Hey Ramos, you're nothing but a reporter and one with an inflated ego.

Trump never claimed that all Mexican illegals were rapists and criminals and, frankly it is true that “Mexico is not our friend” as long as it continues to sponsor and abet the invasion across our southern border.

Jorge knows we say the making of a President today in Mexico City. How sweetly ironic that a trip to Mexico City probably made Trump President!!

They realize that the giant “Kick-Me” sign on the back of the U.S. is finally coming off. Mexico needs to clean up their own country.

Exactly, Ramos is blinded by his hatred of Donald Trump.

I suspect El Presidente Nieto believes Trump will be the next POTUS and is acting accordingly.

Notice that the globalist politicians have a decent rapport with the press, and those who are not globalists get “the full treatment” from the press. That pattern is the same worldwide.

I imagine, would like to anyway, that Trump explained the facts of life to El Presidenté, as they will be when he’s elected.

Work with me or don’t. One way may be painful for while, the other will be... Unpleasant.
