It wasn’t long ago
that the U.S. enjoyed having a popular President who was calm and thoughtful
but Conservatives voted in a hot white mess into office and here we are,
cringing every time Donald Trump opens his mouth.
Enrique Enrique Peña
Nieto participated in a 50-minute phone call with Trump and after the
conversation ended, the Mexican President scrapped his plans to visit the
White House for the first time.
Trump reportedly ‘lost
his temper’ during the call and it was all over his dumb border wall.
Apparently, Trump
still wants Mexico to pay for his wall even though he’s been told repeatedly that
that will not happen.
Peña Nieto was
considering an official trip to Washington this month or in March, but all bets
were off after Trump would not agree to publicly affirm Mexico’s position that
it would not fund his border wall, according to the Washington Post.
A Mexican official
told the Washington Post that Trump “lost his temper”
during the call. U.S. officials said that Trump was “exasperated” and
“frustrated” because he believed that President Peña Nieto’s expectation was
unreasonable.
The Post reports:
Both accounts confirm it was Peña Nieto’s desire to avoid public embarrassment — and Trump’s unwillingness to provide that assurance — that proved to be the dealbreaker.
“The problem is that
President Trump has painted himself, President Peña Nieto and the bilateral
relationship into a corner,” said Arturo Sarukhan, a former Mexican ambassador
to the U.S.
“Even from the get-go, the idea of Mexico paying for the wall was never going to fly. His relationship with Mexico isn’t strategically driven. It’s not even business; it’s personal, driven by motivations and triggers, and that’s a huge problem. It could end up with the U.S. asking itself, ‘Who lost Mexico?’ ”
The border wall was
one of Trump’s biggest campaign promises. At each rally, he would ask
his ardent supporters who would pay for the wall, and of course,
chanting from the crowd rang out, “Mexico!” But, that’s not going
to happen. In fact, we, including Trump supporters, will fund
his wall.
Peña Nieto has
canceled a planned meeting with Trump before. In January 2017, the Mexican
President canceled due to a conflict with Trump over NAFTA and the border
wall.
It was just last
August that Trump pleaded with Peña Nieto to not say publicly that
his country would not pay for the wall.
“If you are going to
say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet
with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that,” Trump said at the time.
Trump is just playing
his base. It’s almost as if he’s a con man or something.

awful person but she doesn't like to brag about that.
