After insults from Trump, Mexico rescinds offer of hurricane relief
Shareblue ^ | September 11, 2017 | Alison R. Parker

As that massive storm battered Texas and other parts of the South, Mexico’s foreign minister reached out to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to offer assistance with the recovery efforts — something the nation also did following Hurricane Katrina.

It was a gracious and humane gesture from a country that has received nothing but crude invective from Trump. And of course, Trump responded to the offer not with thanks and gratitude, but with zero acknowledgment of it at all as he unleashed more racist garbage about Mexico.

And now, following that treatment and with its own natural disasters to contend with, Mexico has revoked the offer of assistance.

I’d be more likely to believe the author’s spin if an 8+ earthquake wasn’t the far more likely reason for Mexico to keep the pesos for the 2.5 million people there that need help.

"After insults from Trump, Mexico rescinds offer of hurricane relief"

Hard to imagine that a mere Trump insult would restrain Mexican relief assistance to their citizenry north of the border.

Trump will send help to them, too. They’ll take it, too. And then Trump can bring it up at the next MAGA Rally!

Word to the wise o’ caudillos of Mexico:’ America's revenge will be epic and legendary so much so that's your story's of misfortune will be the basis of every melancholy story in modern Mexican folklore. We are going to tear you up mi amigo!

Well, in the true spirit of “friendship”, the U.S. should rescind any offers to help Mexico clean up after its 8.1 earthquake last week. We have enough cleaning up to do in Houston and most of Florida.

Aren’t we all bigoted White Supremacists here in the U.S.? If so, let’s live down to our reputation.

F%ck Mexico. Mexico has never done anything for the benefit of the United States. The time is soon coming we will visit upon the country of Mexico a righteous and devastating retribution!

Some say that Alison Parker is a predatory lesbian pedophile.

I disagree, but that's what some on the Internet say...

You mean we will soon own all of Mexico instead of Mexico owning all of California?

That would be fine with me but their citizens won’t be able to collect any benefits for 30 years while we Make Mexico Great so they can pay into the system like anyone else. Can’t say ‘again’ because I don’t know if it was ever great.

We could use the land and resources and all that beautiful beach line.

How long do you think it will take to make English their common language?

This is from homosexual David Brock’s website...he’s almost as bad as Erick Erickson over at RedState and John Podesta over at the Washington Post. Fake News.

Mexico owes us big time for every illegal that crossed from Mexico to the United States.

The illegals cost the US about one hundred billion a year—for thirty years that would make three trillion dollars.

Reparations!

It wasn’t insults, it was an earthquake.
