Then why lie about it? Why pretend that it didn't even "come up"? Why not just honestly say, President Pena Neito voiced his position, and we will have further conversations? The only reason to lie about it was that Trump knows that the President of Mexico shut him down, and he did not want that to be publicly known.Sure. That's how that went. That's why he lied about who is going to pay for it not coming up.So, for months, and months, Trump has said that Mexico is going to "pay for" his wall. Not only has he said that, but he ridiculed Pena Nieto when he made it clear he wouldn't pay for it. Trump had a chance to let Pena Nieto what he is going to do, and he wussed out.
Worse than wussed out, either Trump lied, Pna Nieto lied, or he, and Pena Nieto were involved in two different conversations.
Trump said, specifically, at the press conference:
"We did discus the wall, we didn't discuss payment of the wall," Trump told reporters at a brief press conference alongside Peña Nieto after their meeting. "That will be for a later date."
Except, Pena Nieto, apparently discussed paying for the wall:
"At the start of my conversation with Donald Trump I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall," Peña Nieto tweeted in Spanish from his official account afterwards. "After that, the conversation moved on to other topics and unfolded in a respectful manner."
So, actually, it turns out Trump didn't lie. They didn't discuss the Wall; The Mexican President told Trump how it's going to be, and Trump sat there, and took it like a bitch.
That is all spin on your part.
As candidate it is not time to start formal negotiations.
And if he HAD started such negotiations, you would be here attacking him to speaking for American before he won.
Why are you being so dishonest and making such blanket statements based on nothing but your hatred?
Trump is a CANDIDATE. IT would be absurd for him to start negotiations as though he was representing the United States.
He let the moron Nieto grandstand a little for his Mexican voters.
If Trump wins, that is when the negotiations start and when Trump gives his response.
Nieto is not going to like it.
