Trumps and Peña Nieto phone call regarding the wall a completely different side of what Trump is proclaiming

Call transcript: Trump urged Mexican president to stop criticizing wall
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Phone call with Peña Nieto came seven days after Trump entered office
Call shows a President working through the complicated nature of bilateral US relationships
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump boasted about his election victory, pressured his Mexican counterpart to remain quiet about a border wall and called New Hampshire a "drug-infested den" in a phone call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, according to a transcript of the conversation revealed on Thursday by The Washington Post.
The transcript of Trump's conversation with Mexico's leader was one of two phone calls revealed on Thursday, which provide a rare glimpse into the private conversations of a new US President testing his negotiating powers on foreign counterparts.
The January 27 phone call with Peña Nieto came seven days after Trump entered office. In it, he focused mainly on issues of trade and immigration, with contentious moments coming in his insistence that Mexico will eventually pay for a wall along with US southern border. Peña Nieto has insisted publicly his country will not pay for the wall's construction, but Trump demanded he cease making that claim.
"You cannot say that to the press," Trump said on the phone call. "The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that. You cannot say that to the press because I cannot negotiate under those circumstances."
Trump ran for office promising to build a Mexican-funded wall along the southern border. But since taking office, Trump has said that the US will pay for initial construction, with reimbursement from Mexico coming later.
In his conversation with Peña Nieto, Trump said he was willing to say publicly that he and Mexican authorities would continue to negotiate over the wall's payment, which he said "means it will come out in the wash and that is OK."
But he maintained his insistence that Peña Nieto remain quiet about the issue.
"You cannot say anymore that the United States is going to pay for the wall," he said. "I am just going to say that we are working it out. Believe it or not, this is the least important thing that we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important talk about."
Asked to comment on the transcripts, Michael Anton, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said only that he "can't confirm or deny the authenticity of allegedly leaked classified documents."

Outrageous in every sense of the word.
The officers DID NOT follow proper procedure & should be punished, BUT this is America so nothing will happen to them, even with video evidence.
Impunity is the name of the game in the whole world today... so sad

And how will they find the monkey to give him his royalties... Sometimes I just wonder why those ppl put so much effort in such a stupidity while there are so many horrible things that happen to both animals and ppl.
Exactly, not only it detracts from their already "questionable" actions and means and make their intentions shady, but also detracts from other more truthful and honest organizations that are really trying to get the work done.

And who is going to handle the monkey's bank account... PETA???

Fuck corporations, government, church, military and media, they have always abused people's human rights and have always gotten away with it as they are intrinsically woven into each other defending one another.

OMG, this was so shocking and heartbreaking, how someone films someone without helping??? Hope the woman gets the justice she deserves. Glad that the maid survived what seemed a certain dead.
We forget that people around the world live in abusive conditions where human rights have been stepped over once and once again.

What a terrible thing to happen to you in your fight to become yourself, being gay is difficult, but being transsexual or transgender is such a hard and hazardous life. Hope she's ok.

IKR this changes the tone of the conversation between Mexico and The US. (Well it won't change anything) but it is ridiculous what we have as Mexicans been exposed to by this claims for the last three years and then it reduces to this...
