| Mexican president disputes Trump over border wall payment discussion |
| 2016-09-01 |
| [CNN] Donald Trump flew into a nation he has constantly berated during his campaign to meet President Enrique Peña Nieto and said they discussed a wall Trump has vowed to build on the US southern border, but not his demand that Mexico pay for it -- an assertion the Mexican president later disputed. "Who pays for the wall? We didn't discuss," Trump had said when asked by a news hound during a news conference following their meeting in Mexico City. "We did discuss the wall. We didn't discuss payment of the wall. That'll be for a later date." But Peña Nieto later claimed the two had discussed the wall and who would pay for it -- and he had "made it clear" to Trump it wouldn't be Mexico. "At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall," Peña Nieto tweeted, after their meeting Wednesday. |

| #7 Love so see these MSM elitist snobs get their a$$s handed to them at every turn. They are not accustomed to a candidate not just rolling over for them. They seem to be getting frustrated with not being able to follow their usual game plan of trying for the gotcha moment that takes down a candidate. Trump seems to be easily outwitting and outplaying them-- his voters love him for it. The MSM is liked about as much politicians, clap, shingles, lawyers, cancer, proctologists, shifty newspapers, George Soros, PC, lefty tyrant wannabees, etc. |

| #5 Parsing words in Clintonesque manner: Trump said they didn't DISCUSS payment. The Mexican President makingg a statement about payment and Trump not responding beyond acknowledgement does NOT constitute a discussion. Don't you love handing the MSM back a Clintonian explanation. |

| #4 The Mexican President is being weasely for the uneducated but proud. He knows taxing the money sent back by Mexicans in the US could be used to pay for the wall and there is nothing he can do about it but complain to the press, it doesn't have to come from the Mexican Treasury directly. |

| #2 Of course the libtards will try to couch this as a Trump failure Trump is a failure - he failed the moment he didn't apply to an Ivy League University! Only Ivy League graduates can manage the World! |

| #1 My understanding is Trump did not wish to discuss financing, which was a wise move. Of course the libtards will try to couch this as a Trump failure. |
