Mexico lashes out at Trump for 'animal' comment
2018-05-18
[PRESSTV] Mexico has blasted US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
for calling some illegal immigrants colonists "animals," pledging to file a complaint against the "unacceptable" choice of language.
*Snicker* Honestly, wouldn’t the cut direct be more appropriate, now that duelling has been given up as barbarous? Though to be fair, completely ignoring the existence of America and its current president might be a bit difficult for those living next door and depending on remittences sent home by the excess population sent north for the purpose..
Trump triggered a wave of criticism on Wednesday when he made the remark during a round-table discussion about Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,’s immigration laws on Wednesday.

"We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in, and we’re stopping a lot of them, but we’re taking people out of the country. You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals," Trump told local and state officials who supported his crackdown on immigration.
Wasn’t he talking about MS-13, the extra vicius narco-gangsters?
Mexico’s government took issue with the remark, with Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray announcing that he would be filing a formal complaint with the US State Department over the remarks.
“I have been instructed to thank you for your communication and to immediately file it in the official State Department Circular File directly under my desk. Sign here, please, senor.”
"President Trump referred to some immigrants colonists -- perhaps he had criminal gangs in mind, I don’t know
Ah. Then you are aware that he was talking about MS-13, and are just being pissy.
-- as animals, not as persons," Videgaray told local TV station Televisa on Thursday. "In the opinion of the Mexican government, this is absolutely unacceptable and we are going to formally communicate this to the US State Department today."

Trump remained unapologetic in light of the criticism, however, saying later on Thursday that his remarks had been taken out of context.

#6  If Mexico thinks that MS13 had been maligned perhaps they'd take them in.

#5  These beasts make a lot of Islamic jihadis look junior varsity. Knives are used by jihadis for beheadings. Beheading using a chain saw is what these people sicaŕos do. And they dont stop at the head.

Logic: the more brutal the more glory they get from thier peers.

Why have the US MSM not reported the slaughter of journalists in Mexico this year? Because the US MSM is just another face of pure evil.

#4  The lying press. He was referring specifically to MS-13. The lying press said it referred to all undocumented immigrants illegal aliens

#1  Yep, it's an outrage. If I were Mexico, I would direct all my citizens to return home from the US immediately and to stop sending evil Yankee dollars.
