Jorge Ramos rips Mexican president for not standing up to Trump
The Hill ^ | August 31, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

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.

Apparently Nieto has read the latest Presidential polls.

He's decided he may have to work with DJT...

Doesn’t Trump OWN ‘Univision’ TV?

I’m confused.

Well, not really, LOL!

Dear Jorge,
We know the laws in Mejico only apply to los gringos.
In America, illegal means ILLEGAL!
Come in LEGALLY or stay put.
Kiss my a$$ Jorge.

The media in general has been twisted in knots all day - the evening ministry-of-truth news was sputtering, flailing for a way to spin it - I even heard one media pinhead blurt "what was the Mexican president thinking!" Trump must be doing something right for them to go apoplectic like that, heh heh.

It is a pivotal moment.

Trump displays his velvet gloves to Mexico. But don’t forget, Mexico: there’s a fist of steel underneath.

This is diplomacy at it’s finest. It probably worked to the benefit of both leaders to show they can communicate about this big issues with civility and grace.

Everlasting Hispanic pride.

Jorge, those whom the gods would destroy, they first make proud. You might want to remember that saying.

“Mexico needs to clean up their own country.”

And we just might finally have someone that will force their hand!

Just think...an entire Earth filled with Countries that have their sh*t together!

What a concept! :)

Ramos and Rivera need to start their own syndicated news analysis. They could Railroad a lot of their views on ignorant people.

F Ramos, that punk was in this country illegally for 20 years and HE has got the gall to dictate to us immigration policy? Screw that jackass. Trump did a tremendous job today, anyone who doubts Trump can’t be an effective President after that meeting needs their head examined. Not only did he improve relations with Mexico which is vital to fixing this illegal problem, but he also brought up Mexicos drug problem which is hurting both countries and he said “together we will fix it”. Awesome! In one freakin’ meeting he’s done more than the Kenyan did in 8 years. Hillary must be climbing the walls.

It’s called leadership, Whore-hey. It’s what an Alpha Male president looks like.
