In a roundabout manner, President Trump told Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto that his country will inevitably pay for a wall on the southern border of the United States.

Trump met his Mexican counterpart for the first time today as the G20 Summit gets underway in Hamburg, Germany. After Trump delivered some brief remarks, reporters shouted questions to him about whether Mexico is still going to pay for the wall.

According to multiple reporters and a variety of news outlets, Trump’s answer was “absolutely.”

Trump’s promise about the wall’s payment has been previously established as a diplomatic complication with Mexico. Trump was supposed to meet Pena Nieto shortly after he was sworn into office, but the two leaders got in a spat about the wall, and the Mexican president ended up aborting the meeting.

4. Perhaps someone should ask president Nieto.

[flibbitygiblets]

11. Right? And it would be awesome if he answered "Let's ask Putin, he seems to be in charge of USA"

[LakeVermilion]

5. Treats Mexico the same way he treats his contractors.

I can't imagine that many contractors go back for a second Trump project.

[HuskyOffset]

6. Wait a minute . . .

. . . how is he still thinking he's going to make Mexico pay, I thought he had given up on that, or did I imagine that they had put a bunch of money in their budget for the wall?

[trusty elf]

7. He is just grotesque.

[roamer65]

17. Yeah he won't get that without starting a war.

In which case Mexico's allies would probably support them to turn against us.

[madashelltoo]

18. Where was his bully when Putin showed up?

I expected His Orangeness to bow. Bullying Mexico (who is ignoring the crap out of him) is all he can do. The German LADY even eats his lunch. This really embarrasses me. Pathetic.

[totodeinhere]

19. Oh come on. There is no way that Mexico will ever pay for that wall. And BTW, the wall

will never be built anyway.

[nietzschean]

21. Markets took this so seriously...

That the Mexican Peso gained 1% in value against the USD today. Nobody takes this Bozo seriously anymore.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. And that fucking pathetic excuse for a president just sat there as this orangutan

insulted him yet again.

[riversedge]

24. More proof that Trump is delusional.

Donald Trump has again humiliated Mexico’s president Enrique Peña Nieto by repeating his claim – in the presence of the Mexican leader – that America’s southern neighbour would pay for a border wall.

Peña Nieto allowed Trump’s comments to go unchallenged when the two leaders met on the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Hamburg on Friday.

Asked by reporters if he expected Mexico to finance a border wall, Trump responded: “Absolutely.” Peña Nieto sat silently next to him.

The meeting – the first between the two leaders since Trump took office – again highlighted Trump’s insensitivities toward Mexico, while Peña Nieto’s passivity brought back bad memories for many Mexicans.

26. We'll see. In the meantime, Mexico's President is a lot cuter than ours. nt

[dubyadiprecession]

27. Now Trump is going to find a Hitleresque reason to bomb Mexico.

You know it's coming. No Money for the Don? then Bang! Bang! Mexico city.
I wouldn't put it past him.

[maddiemom]

28. Mexico has Pena Nieto, Canada has Trudeau,

and we have Donald Trump-----and that's just me being superficial, based on physical appearance alone.

[YOHABLO]

29. Yeah at least they have sexy looking Presidents. Ours looks like big Orange Turd.
