Why would all of Mexico be angry because he said that some Mexican illegals are "rapists and murders" (which is a correct statement, btw.)? Would you be angry if some other country said that many of the Americans who go to that country are "rapists and murders" but some are good people?
Yes, it would be quite insulting if a president of another country said Americans are rapists and murderers with some good people in the mix.
Lets face the facts: Trump says some incredibly stupid things.
And then adds not only are your citizens those things, but now I'm forcing you to fund a public works project on our behalf.
Americans have been funding public works for their citizens that invade our country by illegally crossing our borders. We then school them, house them, give them medical care, etc. etc. etc.
Since we haven't simply deported them, or jailed them (as we would expect them to do to us), I think exacting some financial recompense is a fair outcome.
Those red counties, the ones who voted Trump, are filled to the brim with people of Mexican descent. They are either legal immigrants or were born here. (Of course there can be illegals, but there's no sanctuary cities in those red areas that I'm aware of.)
Those who are legal or were born here didn't seem to have one problem with what Trump said.
(By the way, many of those red counties are where the farms are located...so CA should think twice before bleating about their economy and not **** off the actual farmers in those red counties.)

You don't house them- they pay rent. You don't support them- they work and pay taxes. Probably the only thing SOME of them are getting at no or low cost is medical care. Many of them work alot harder than your co-nationals who only know how to whine about what the government doesn't do for them.
Also, many have been deported and jailed. They are being deported and jailed daily.

He will continue to say stupid things, that was only the beginning. He already threatened a Japanese company for investing in Mexico. WTF?
He is going to alienate other countries, investment, business, etc. He and his ilk want to be isolated, great. Don't have relations with other countries and don't export.
Sorry, I wasn't referring to you personally, I meant you as in Americans. I should have been more specific.
How would you blame me for the attack on the special needs kid in Chicago?? That seems like a really weird connection since I too think that was a horrible act of violence and I hope the people involved go to prison for a long time.
If you ask a Republican, it was Obama and Clinton's fault for Benghazi, but I am sure we both know that isn't true since it wasn't either one of them that voted in Congress to reduce security funding for embassies.
Partisan nutjobbery is reserved for people like Mitch McConnell who puts his party first and screws everything else. All I am doing it pointing out the obvious that is going on and having a good laugh about it.
Trump is going to be the stain in American history after he climbs into bed with Putin.
Trump hasn't taken office yet. All you're doing is creating noise for him. Imagining what he will do and sqwaking about it is deafening America and will make it harder for them to care when sqwaking over things he is doing starts happening.
Interesting how the libs keep leaving off the word "illegal" in regards to the Mexicans that Trump was speaking about. I don't think they have an honest bone in their bodies.
