'LOL': Trump Mocked After Mexico's President Blows Up His Brag About Their Call
www.huffpost.com
Social media users sarcastically celebrated Donald Trump’s fictional victory in his discussion with Claudia Sheinbaum.

Summary

Trump claimed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to “stop Migration through Mexico” after a call, declaring it a win for U.S. border security.

Sheinbaum quickly refuted this, stating Mexico opposes closing borders and prioritizes collaboration.

The exchange drew mockery online, with critics comparing it to Trump’s past unfulfilled claim that Mexico would pay for a border wall.

Social media users ridiculed Trump for exaggerating the conversation’s outcome and manufacturing a crisis with Mexico over proposed tariffs he’s vowed to implement upon taking office.

    They need to do it so hard that Magats realize he’s the laughing stock of the world. Imagine a world in which American news couldn’t avoid running stories about how world leaders literally shun Trump. Would we abandon the entire world order? or would the American Oligarchs demand the 25th Amendment be used?

        Oh they may have said they believed him. But they knew. And being a one time incident it’s easy to dismiss.

      Honestly I think it would play into the “Trump is fighting the elites” narrative far too well, and would probably be celebrated. “America is so great we don’t even need those other countries, how dare they insult our President for life?”
