Tentative plans for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to make his first visit to the White House to meet with President Trump were scuttled this week after a testy call between the two leaders ended in an impasse over Trumps promised border wall, according to U.S. and Mexican officials.

Peña Nieto was eyeing an official trip to Washington this month or in early March, but called off the plan after Trump would not agree to publicly affirm Mexico's position that it would not fund construction of a border wall that the Mexican people widely consider offensive, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a confidential conversation.

Speaking by phone on Feb. 20, Peña Nieto and Trump devoted a considerable portion of their roughly 50 minute conversation to the wall, and neither man would compromise his position.

One Mexican official said Trump lost his temper. But U.S. officials described him instead as being frustrated and exasperated, saying Trump believed it was unreasonable for Pea Nieto to expect him to back off his crowd-pleasing campaign promise of forcing Mexico to pay for the wall.

I don't know why the guy even bothered. He is speaking to a spoiled child when he calls Drumpf.

1. Good for Nieto

Fuck drumpf and the Russian horse he rode in on.

4. You mean this one?

(I know you can't unsee that! )

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

7. Ahhhh MY EYES!

(Doing a Sam Kinnison type scream).

9. Eye bleach to the rescue!

[Fritz Walter]

18. If only Cadet Bone Spurs were that fit!

Yes, I know: fat-shaming is beneath us, but still...
That poor horse!

[left-of-center2012]

2. Shortly after taking office, Trump called the Mexican President and yelled and screamed at him

It was reported that the Mexican President calmly told Trump,
this is not how diplomacy is done.

[dhill926]

3. Mexico will not contribute one peso...

to his fucking wall. The hell do they care it was a campaign promise. Asshole...

[onecent]

5. I like this president of Mexico..he is 14X as bright as Dotard......

[3catwoman3]

52. My cats are 14x smarter...

...tha Cadet Bone Spurs.

[Eyeball_Kid]

6. Trumpy cant believe that he cant bully

Nieto into dishing out billions just because Trumpy doesn’t want to be embarrassed by his own words. “Please Pea, old buddy, cover for me. Let me make a fool of you and destroy your political career by giving me several billion so I can tell my base that I fucked you up the ass!”

So you think Nieto’s a fool?

[TomCADem]

8. The Moment Nieto is Seen As Agreeing to Pay for Trump's Wall...

...Nieto will be headed out of office. Indeed, I think the big fear is that Mexican politicians could run on anti-U.S. rhetoric given Trump's repeated rhetorical attacks on Mexico. Populism/Racism can run both ways.

[a la izquierda]

44. Hes out soon anyway. Theres an election in a couple months.

[Freethinker65]

10. Yes. By all means govern by what is "crowd pleasing", not by what is best for the country

Mob mentality rules, based upon Trump's carefully selected mob.

Talk about a distaster

It isn’t Pea Nieto, it’s Pena Nieto....with a tilde in the n in Pena. (Can’t figur our how to type that on my iPhone)

[BumRushDaShow]

14. I just manually put it in there

Thanks for the heads-up! I knew it looked funky.

[sdfernando]

19. Great!

Was thinking maybe this was the Orange Asshole’s way of demeaning him.

[Control-Z]

23. I believe if you just hold down the n

several options will pop up. That will be one of them. It works on my Android. I'm guessing it will work the same on your iPhone. Peña.

[sdfernando]

25. Thanks. Guess I was able over thinking it

On a computer keyboard I would hold down the ALT key and type the ASCII code on the number pad. Was trying to figure out a way to “virtually” hold down an ALT key.

15. How to Build Trump's Wall - Privatize It

How to Build Trump’s Wall - Privatize It

Republicans have often found a way to tax people surreptitiously by privatizing many public works projects to corporations rather than have gov’t pay for it. A fee/toll is a tax under another name.

The corporations/investors are granted a multi-year license with a guaranteed profit.

This could also be done with Trump’s Wall with Mexico.

Corporations/investors front the money to build it and they will be paid by Mexico.

It gives republicans a chance to save the gov’t money by investing in it and show their confidence in Trump’s word that Mexico will pay for it .

No gov’t backed bonds.

No cost to the gov’t,,, no need for taxes,,, profit for the patriotic investors who believe in Trump.

Win win all around.

Even Trump can show his patriotism and shrewd business savvy by investing in it.

[denbot]

30. What kind of idiotic Trumpian bullshit is this..!

“Corporations/investors front the money to build it and they will be paid by Mexico”.

Why in the fuck would another country other than Russia care about paying for one of Shitler’s campaign promises?

“It gives republicans a chance to save the gov’t money by investing in it and show their confidence in Trump’s word that Mexico will pay for it .”

Tell me, why the fuck will Mexico pay for the wall, no matter who sends the invoice for some thing not contracted for? And why would anyone care about confidence in Trump’s word other then a rube, or a fucking Nazi?

“No cost to the gov’t,,, no need for taxes,,, profit for the patriotic investors who believe in Trump.

Win win all around.”

I don’t even know where to begin with that gem.. Wait, I’ll try.

A win for who? Your hero the Putin ass licker! And by the way, racism is not synonymous with patriotism, well unless your a fucking White Supremest Nazi fuck!

Either you’re posting on bathsalts or you’ve wandered over from a diametrically opposed site.

[keithbvadu2]

31. Was the sarcasm too subtle for you?

[denbot]

32. There is never subtlety in stupidity n/t

[keithbvadu2]

33. You certainly proved that with your previous post.

Have a nice night.

[denbot]

34. Pfft, look at my replies, and tell me what part was subtle..

Mayhaps that word doesn’t mean what you think it means..

[keithbvadu2]

35. You double down and then you triple down.

You double down and then you triple down.

Sorry that the sarcasm was too subtle.

Most folks catch it.

[denbot]

36. Been around far to long for your bullshit..

Feel free to keep playing.

[keithbvadu2]

55. Hilarious! denbot keeps playing.

[NewJeffCT]

16. "Trump believed it was unreasonable for Pea Nieto to expect him to back off his crowd-pleasing...

campaign promise"

What if Pea Nieto made a promise that he would tell Trump to "go fuck himself" over the wall? Should he be expected to back off of that crowd pleaser?

[keithbvadu2]

17. Didn't Mexico's previous president basically say that to Dotard?

[NewJeffCT]

22. That was former president Vicente Fox

who has made a habit of taunting Trump on both Twitter at YouTube. He's got a great sense of humor and great comic timing.

[fierywoman]

28. AND he speaks English better than Trump!

[hlthe2b]

21. I just don't know how anyone in their right mind could justify DEMANDING Mexico pay for this

ridiculous wall.. Seriously... How on earth is it Mexico's responsibility?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

38. "How anyone in their right mind...?"

I think we all know the answer to this question. Trump is not in his right mind. Ever.

Plus he's a sociopath.

And a pathological liar.

And a philanderer.

And he has small hands.

[hlthe2b]

40. I mean the few sane supporters

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

42. Sorry. Thought you were only referring to Donnie Two Scoops

[Blue_Tires]

50. I'm still trying to figure out why so many people willingly believed that shit...

[leanforward]

24. Dear Mr President Nieto

Kindly accept my apology for the actions and speech of mr drumpf.

He does not represent me.

[Sampan]

26. Trump doesnt understand that the leader of a country wouldnt betray his people.

Because that is a foreign concept to our Monster in Chief. He’s throwing all of us and our country under the bus and couldn’t care less.

[C Moon]

39. +1

[Cha]

27. FUCKHEADPOS wants to continue LYING

to his Stupid Sucker base, President Nieto.. Gracias for not playing.

Mahalo, BRDS

[Pachamama]

29. But....but....isn't Jared working on the relationship with Mexico when he isn't working on Mid East

[Orange Free State]

37. I hope the bald headed Sphincter-in-chief

Doesn’t somehow get it built before I can retire to Lake Chapala in peace. I am so very close now, about two years away. Hopefully Mexico doesn’t get pissed and ban Americans by that time.

[area51]

41. But Mexico has agreed to pay ...

for the impeachment.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. LOL

[dameatball]

48. Wow.....diplomacy really does work.....:))))))

[dlk]

45. Trump Can't Control His Temper Enough to Successfully Complete a Phone Call with a Head of State

Temperamentally unfit is an understatement! He should have never been installed in the White House; his irrational behavior puts our entire country at risk.

[bobhuntsman]

46. ¡Mejico no pagara por tu jodida pared!

[Motley13]

47. I hope Enrique called him a gilipollas and a pemdejo

[Blue_Tires]

51. Donnie hasn't learned JACK SHIT since last August:

Link to tweet

[Maraya1969]

53. It would be funny if Nieto said he was OK with #45 not saying anything and then announced

It himself in the press conference. ("Were not paying for a wall&quot
