Senior Trump adviser Kushner to visit Mexico on Wednesday
Source: Reuters, MSNBC Breaking
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, will visit Mexico on Wednesday and meet President Enrique Pena Nieto, the Mexican foreign ministry said, after a ratcheting up of tensions over trade and plans for a border wall.
Late last month, Trump and Pena Nieto postponed plans for the Mexican leaders first visit to the White House, after a testy phone call involving the U.S. leaders push to make Mexico pay for a border wall.
Trump has repeatedly insisted Mexico must pay for the wall, a stance Mexican leaders have just as often rejected.
Kushner is a top foreign policy adviser as well as the presidents son-in-law but has recently lost access to the most valued U.S. intelligence report, U.S. officials told Reuters last week.

(50,557 posts)"President Trump, I did what you said. I went to President Pena Nieto and told him the United States demands Mexico pay for the full cost of the border wall. He told me...he made me write this down so I wouldn't forget it...'fuck you, you gringo borracho pendejo, Mexico will pay for that fucking useless wall when hell freezes over.' Any idea what that means?"
"Jared, it means we're making progress. Last week, the Mexicans told me 'under no circumstance will Mexico ever pay for that fucking useless wall.' So we should have him nailed down in twenty or thirty years."
"But President Trump, your term only lasts four, or maybe eight, years. What good will it do us then?"
"Listen, Jared. You let me worry about how long my term is. You just keep browbeating those fuckin' Mexicans."
I was hoping he would fix the Mideast this week.
Well, at least Mexico will be settled by this week.

They'd probably offer $25 million or so for Trump to take him back, but knowing that they're dealing with "the world's greatest negotiator" might make it difficult. Trump may get Mexico to pay for that stupid wall after all, they'd be so desperate to get rid of 'boy blunder' they'd pay anything!

And if Mexico doesn't agree, they will be put on a sanctions list. Nothing like running a supposed democratic country for your own personal wealth.

Problem is, I don't think Mexico is going to let him in. I wouldn't unless tRUMP and his ilk apologize to the Mexican people first. They are owed one big apology from tRUMP bashing them repeatedly, who didn't deserve it one bit.

(63,221 posts)The White House calligrapher has more clout than Jared - and a higher security clearance. Why are they sending that brainless bimbo? He can only make a tenuous situation worse. He'll probably try to hit them up for a loan as well. God, what a shit-show!
