The Press Isn’t Buying It As NY Newspaper Blasts Donald Trump’s “Mexican Crap Dance”

Last updated on July 17th, 2023 at 09:07 pm

The front page of the The New York Daily News is brutal this Thursday morning.

The New York Daily News blasted Donald Trump for his “Mexican Crap Dance” in a cover reading in part, “Don: ‘Didn’t discuss’ who’d pay for his dopey wall, but Peña Nieto insists he said NO!”

Citing Donald Trump’s claim that the wall payment wasn’t discussed only to have Peña Nieto blast Trump in public, tweeting, “At the beginning of the conversation with Donald Trump I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall.”

The NY Daily News closed with, “A columnist for Reforma, a Mexico City newspaper, criticized Peña Nieto for even inviting the blustery billionaire to Mexico, calling it ‘a giant farce.'”

Because “Peña Nieto ‘compared Mr. Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, and now we invite Mussolini, we are going to negotiate with Hitler when he hasn’t even won the election,’ Jesús Silva-Herzog Márquez told the New York Times.

Awkward. Trump’s failed “I’m a Statesman” visit proved that his tough talk is all bluster and no bite. When confronted in person, Trump withers like bullies do. And thus, it was a crap dance.

The more Donald Trump tries to prove he’s not a dangerous clown, the more he proves exactly how dangerous he is. And it’s not always in the ways one might expect.

Trump isn’t just dangerous because of his hate-filled ideas that history has shown lead nowhere good. Trump is also dangerous because he would destroy the U.S.’s standing in the world and turn this country into an international joke. He’s the kind of inept eogmaniac leaders like Putin size up and know they can use, and leaders like Peña Nieto know they can publicly blast with no push back.

Donald Trump’s image as a tough guy who would boss other countries around is a total joke. He is so weak, the Mexican President ate him for dinner. The leader of the free world needs to be someone who is not this easy to mock and take advantage of. Donald Trump is an inept fool.
