SNIP..........


The call came after White House press secretary Sean Spicer said during a presser that the Trump administration was considering a 20 percent border tax on Mexican imports to pay for the wall.

Journalist Dolia Estevez told the Mexican news outlet Aristegui Noticias that, based on sources close to both the Mexican president and the Trump administration, “It was a very offensive conversation where Trump humiliated Peña Nieto.”

Trump reportedly told the Mexican president that he doesn’t “need the Mexicans,” adding, “I don’t need Mexico. We are going to build the wall and you all are going to pay for it, like it or not.”

Estevez added that Trump reportedly threatened to send troops into Mexico to “fight against narco trafficking.” White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were allegedly both on the call. Estevez said, “Before this unusual onslaught, Peña was not firm. He was stammering.”

1. Sources in the Trump Administration - are they

proud of this

[Freedomofspeech]

2. Horrifying.

When is somebody going to stop this maniac?

[bdamomma]

19. I wonder if he has a food taster????

He is a bully

[Freedomofspeech]

39. Ha...

I'm sure that he does.

[TrekLuver]

3. We don't need Mexico? America wouldn't be America without Mexico.

[roamer65]

4. The Mexicans can break the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo if we send troops into Mexico.

I have a feeling they will have the support of quite a few Central and South American nations.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Holy crap. We're turning into the antagonist in the Domino Effect scenario.

[Ilsa]

13. And there are plenty of Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, and

Gringos in the US that would turn against trump for starting violent assaults on Mexico.

Why don't they see how fucked up he is?

[still_one]

5. Mexico should immediately start negotiating with Canada and Europe

[Amaryllis]

34. What I was thinking. That heads of countries who are reasonable and have been allies are

probably having a lot of conference calls with each other.

[SunSeeker]

35. Mexico is negotiating with China. nt

[still_one]

41. interesting

[TeddyBear 1]

6. I

hope this is not true.. They are just itching for a war someplace..

What next? Trump does not need Canada also?

[BeyondGeography]

7. What a fucking psychopath

[Doodley]

8. Trump would be declaring war on our neighbor and the whole world would unite against the a**hole

[ElementaryPenguin]

10. He's been President for a week and he's already threatening one of our closest allies??

WTF??? He needs to be removed from office pronto. The GOP better stop focusing on the advantages to their party this cheating, lying lunatic might provide - and start seriously considering THE THREATS TO THIS NATION this monster poses!!!!!!

[bdamomma]

21. He even bullied Australia

the Aussies????? He is mentally not well. There are a lot of things we could say here about him but refrain they would probably think we are a terrorist site.

[Amaryllis]

43. Threats to the world, not just us.

[Xipe Totec]

11. I asked a linguist friend to come up with a Nahuatl word to describe Donald Trump

He came up with tlahyellahtōleh: shit talker

tlahyellahtōlli literally means "shit words" (stupid obscene utterances)

so tlahyellahtōleh would be "shit talker"

[Augiedog]

12. What Mexico may do is start engaging China in a defense pact. I can see it now , Mexican and

Chinese troops facing off against American troops at the border. Once the first shot is fired our economy collapses because china owns us lock stock and gun barrel.

Why is anyone surprised tRump is restarting the Mexican American war all over again. God he's a monsterous asshole.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Careful, Pena Nieto has political opposition too, so this smells like a smear piece.

"He was stammering" could be fake news.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if tRump said the things the article claims he said. But the slam against Nieto seems just that.

Nieto has been 100% firm in public on record that Mexico will not pay for any wall, no way, no how.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

38. +1 nt

[GeoWilliam750]

15. Please help me out here

In the first two weeks, we have effectively threatened war with China, Iran, and Mexico.

Is this correct?

[Quixote1818]

16. So after four years how many will that be or will we all be dead? nt

[notdarkyet]

30. They might have to bring back the draft to fight multiple wars. We used up

Our soldiers for the Iraq, Afghanistan wars. People did four and five tours. Try and bring the draft back and we might really have a French Revolution.

[workinclasszero]

20. Yes and Trumpenfuhrer also browbeat and insulted

The Australian Prime Minister on the phone.

Give it one more week and every country in the world will hate our guts except Putin's Russia.

[bdamomma]

23. Putin is going towards the Ukraine

he is testing little donnie

[GP6971]

27. A very little donnie.

That's where the threat is right now. We'll need to watch that area very carefully. Threatening the world is going to get us in deep shit.

[notdarkyet]

31. And why was trump talking to Putin again today. Maybe all

This Muslim, Mexico stuff are big distractions to deflect from Russia.

[workinclasszero]

40. Trump and Bannon will never cross Putin

On anything.
They are in cahoots.

Or co-conspirators if you like.
They have some kind of deal going with Putin.

[ananda]

36. That is correct.

The one thing I fear the most is the reinstitution of the draft.

Trump-Bannon-Putin act like they're mad for a war, and with
Bannon/Trump it seems to be any war with anybody, just for
the fun of having a war ...

[GeoWilliam750]

37. I wonder

Is it possible that if the Republicans attempted to reinstate a draft of all the boys and girls, it might result in an open revolt?

Relatively few people actually WANT to send their children off to war.

[bdamomma]

42. you wonder if

they(tRump/Bannon) want to deplete the population. These are evil people.

[-Steph-]

17. Please tell me this isn't true...

[lpbk2713]

18. There was only one president participating in that conversation.

At the other end was was a dumbass buffoon.

[herding cats]

22. I pointed this out in an earlier article which didn't have this part of the translation

This is kind of a big deal, if this reporting is true.

[applegrove]

24. Thanks. I try and read previous posts so I don't duplicate. Sometimes I

miss one.

[herding cats]

25. Yours is more comprehensive.

I didn't make that clear, but I was pleased to see it covered in your article.

[bora13]

26. where are the heroes?

i like presidents who are genuine heroes.
Where is Studebaker Hawk when you need him?

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. Was he drunk? Or just a TREMENDOUS asshole?

[Wellstone ruled]

29. So the Mexican President

declares all US ex-pats illegal and confiscates their Property. Well well,there are some 2.5 million ex-pats living in Mexico at this time. Getting more interesting by the minute.

[notdarkyet]

32. Yep. I've thought that too. I know a few.

[Wellstone ruled]

33. My neighbor went back to her

place south of San Diego,her Cousin stopped by and said,her was hassled at the Border by the Mexican Agents. Sounds like the good old days are gone for ever.
