Holy fake news.

Both governments confirm that this is fake news.


The Mexican government said the account was not accurate.

Agence France Presse subsequently reported that the White House denies the conversation took place. Mexico denies it as well.

Lightbulb So Trump is a hawk after all?

He's doing whatever the religious right, neocons, that doosh Norquist and tax-dodging corporatists tell him to do.

So, yeah. He's a hawk. Chickenhawk style.

He was going to drain the swamp and clean up DC. Instead, he's a handy buffoon signing whatever Bannon puts in front of him and appointing whoever the lobbyists tell him to appoint. He's a good boy doing as he's told, while acting like an overindulged frat boy.

What was all that other mumbo-jumbo he kept blathering about.

You are Fake News.

#1 Mexico denied it.

Mexican government says Trump never threatened to send troops to Mexico - LA Times

#2 If Mexico is lying, the context was that Trump would take out the violent Mexican Drug Cartels that Obama armed with over 2,000 high powered assault rifles. A Mexican official has said that at least 300 Mexicans have been killed with Obama's assault rifles to drug cartel program - with more shot!

He's a 60's era chicken hawk. He refused to serve himself....no one in his family has served....but he'll happily send other people's sons and daughter to fight his wars.
