Trump to Mexico: Take care of 'bad hombres' or US might
AP ^ | February 1st, 2017 | By VIVIAN SALAMA

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump threatened in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press.

The excerpt of the call did not detail who exactly Trump considered "bad hombres," nor did it make clear the tone and context of the remark, made in a Friday morning phone call between the leaders. It also did not contain Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's response.

Still, the excerpt offers a rare and striking look at how the new president is conducting diplomacy behind closed doors. Trump's remarks suggest he is using the same tough and blunt talk with world leaders that he used to rally crowds on the campaign trail.

A White House spokesman did not respond to requests for comment. The Mexican government said the account was not accurate.

Finally, a true leader. I love how the libtards are treating this like it’s bad for trump - that he’s reckless, etc.. It’s the exact opposite. Trump looks like he is finally taking action to protect Americans and comes across excellent. I just love winning!

WELL... THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO IS TOTALLY MESSED UP.

Now, I could make that statement in a word order that might be fully understood by a group of high school football players.

Most outrageous is the fact AP ran with this story without getting an official transcript.

I’s going to make up one of sex calls between Weiner and Pelosi and send it to AP.

An excerpt of a transcript obtained by. . .

I would like this to be true, but I doubt it.

I do believe this border question will not be resolved without blood. The enemy has to understand they will die trying before they will back off. At a time and place of Mr. Trump’s, or as I like to call him PTrump’s choosing.

THere is no legitimate news media anymore. The only way to survive is taking an estimate of the average of all reports. Part of this is related to the closing of all the world branches of these formerly illustrious news organizations. They no longer have the resources, but they still have the cache. Kind of like the CIA.

End the CIA.

I had not heard about that - sounds interesting. Any information out of Chicago that gives an idea of facts on the ground would be nice.
