Critics mock 'Donny deals' after Trump met with brutal fact check from Mexico's president

Source: Raw Story

Social media critics collectively laughed at Donald Trump on Wednesday night after the president-elect appeared to get a brutal fact-check from the president of Mexico.

Trump bragged earlier in the day that Mexico agreed to help him close the U.S.-Mexico border following his threats to levy a significant tariff on the country.

"Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo," Trump posted on Truth Social on Wednesday night. "She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border."

[....]

Sheinbaum Pardo refuted Trump's claim on X, however, insisting she explained Mexico's comprehensive strategy to address illegal immigration while respecting human rights.

Catherine Rampell of the Washington Post summarized it as "So Mexico agrees to do the thing it's already been doing, and Trump claims victory. Sounds about right,"

Also, I have to wonder if this is tRUMP's way of saving face when he backs off of his ridiculous tariff threats.

and already it feels like we've been thru a whole administration of his. I don't know if I'll make until he's finally gone from office... and I'm one of those who believe he WILL become the dictator he wants to be and refuse to vacate the seat until they pry his dead, poopy bottom from the chair. And THEN we'll have Don Jr.

8. You KNOW he had to say something like this...

he can't stand to be bested by any woman, but especially a strong, assertive woman. Look at how he treat Angela Merkel and the Queen while he held office. Look at how he's handled all the women who have dragged him into court. He hates women, and it shows every time he opens his mouth, no matter words actually come out of it.

If he showed up here MIRT would have him FFR'd and PPR'd so fast the earth would tilt on its axis from the speed of the spinning.

My approach to his threats is no different than it would be for any other troll.

I don't feed them, starve them of oxygen and rock on with my wonderful life.

Why signal boost the weak distractions from a bulbous Debbie Downer in a red tie?

I spit over my shoulder in his general direction while I flip my hair and dance on to my next fun activity.

It's as easy as flicking off an annoying bug.
