Donald Trump has again humiliated Mexico’s president Enrique Peña Nieto by repeating his claim – in the presence of the Mexican leader – that America’s southern neighbour would pay for a border wall.


Peña Nieto allowed Trump’s comments to go unchallenged when the two leaders met on the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Hamburg on Friday.


Asked by reporters if he expected Mexico to finance a border wall, Trump responded: “Absolutely.” Peña Nieto sat silently next to him.


The meeting – the first between the two leaders since Trump took office – again highlighted Trump’s insensitivities toward Mexico, while Peña Nieto’s passivity brought back bad memories for many Mexicans.

Trump is making enemies of all nations just as he does all individual people.

Nope. This how the UK press reported it, not the Mexican press. The Mexican president said that he did not hear the remark and that he does not care about it anyway. Stories like this are intended to make people think what you just posted.



Telegraph Columnist Says Much of Europe Is Actually Pro-Trump
Journalist Fraser Nelson said Europe is much more friendly to President Trump's ideas than politicians across the pond would have you believe.


"There is so much more sympathy for Trump ideas than you would guess from listening to the debates among the European political elites," the "Telegraph" columnist told host Dana Perino.


"Many EU (European Union) leaders are coming around to Mr. Trump's way of thinking ... in many areas, European popular opinion is firmly on his side," Fraser wrote in a recent column.


While Trump is usually portrayed as a "crazy" guy with "out there" ideas, the public is not as "traumatized" by this administration as European leaders are, Fraser said.

Mexico -deserves- humiliation.
It's a country slipping towards degeneracy and dystopia.

Memo to Mr. Trump:
Keep those insults coming!

I'm offended by the Mexican policy of offloading it's destitute and poor as charges of the overtaxed American people.

Screw the president of Mexico.

Screw the president of Mexico.

A person is judged as much by who their enemies are, as by who their friends are. In this case, having the Mexican President as an enemy, may be a good thing.
