How you say, “Please, sir! May I pay for your wall?” in Mexicanish?
Sounds like a good time for Americans to short sell the peso and bankrupt Mexico. Then Trump needs to executive order the immediate 50% withholding on all Western Union and Moneygram remittances to Mexico. That will pay for the wall and then some considering some $26 billion in remittances gets sent south of the border.
CARTELS!!!!
Negotiation 101. Understand who is at the other end of the table. What do they want? What do you want? What are their must haves? What are their easy giveaways? What are yours. Mexico does not have much of a hand to play and they know it.
Trump should say “f—k you, we’ll just send you the bill in the mail”.
Nieto just blinked.
Crush the peso. Make them bleed.
Haha! Our President literally wrote the book on this process, yet the media, and political types, still have no idea what he is doing. Idiots!
Trump is playing hardball with the Mexican Caudillos in a way no American President has since Eisenhower.
He’s got their number now and they know it.
They are being put into a corner where he holds all the cards and will tell them the game is over: stop pushing your populace into our country and trying to rule us or we bankrupt you and cause a rebellion by your desperate people.
This is incredibly humiliating for the pretentious garbage that runs Mexico but they are going to have to get straight with him. They understand. Hardball is what they live by.
A militarized border would be a good next step just to let them know how we really feel about them screwing with us the last 30 years.
But I’m sure Don knows how he plans to play the cards.
After all, he is Trump.
That didn’t take long for Mexico to fold.
What book? said an aid
The one that the Gringo Trump wrote.
Ah....but you burned it cuz you thought Gringo Clinton's ....... would win.
Mr President we’re winning so much, I don’t know how much more of it I can take
Trump holds all the aces and face cards in this game of blackjack....
For any of the Freepers who haven’t seen this... it’s priceless. If you have seen it, it’s now funny as hell.

The Mexican ruling class knows it has no leverage in any negotiation with the U.S. All the bluster from Nieto is for domestic consumption. He’s got to at least try to look tough to his people, but he knows he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.
Mexico needs us, but we don’t need them in any way. That country is a net drain on our people and our resources.
If they know whats good for them, they’ll come to the bargaining table with hat in hand, and take whatever crumbs President Trump is willing to give them.
I’m thinking they don’t quite have their heads on straight yet, but it’s a start.
Going back early in his campaign until now, every time Trump has signaled a move, the leftists and globalists would call him an idiot at best and an overreactive man-child at worst.
Then suddenly everything fell into place for him.
He is literally Teflon Don.
Before long, he will be begging for a meeting with Trump.
