Let me preface my remarks by saying I will use colloquialisms to describe what I saw. That clown (Dobbs) said that Drumpf owned President Peña Nieto yesterday. It seemed the other way around. It reminded me of all the schoolyard fights I watched develop as I was a kid. Drumpf told Peña Nieto he would have to pay for a Wall that isn't his and he doesn't want and Peña Nieto said make me. Who knows where we go from here but so far Peña Nieto is owning Drumpf.

1. Yeah, but Nieto refused to meet with Trump... which counts as a victory for Trump, I guess?

- "How about we go for dinner? You pay."
- "What? No!"
- "VICTORY IS MINE!"

Of course,we'll all lose.

This flap between the 2 of them would be so much more devastating for Trump if Peña Nieto was considered to be a strong and popular leader.

In Mexico, President Peña Nieto more unpopular than Trump

MEXICO CITY — Discontent runs so deep over domestic issues here — including a recent 20% hike in gas prices — that many Mexicans express more frustration with President Enrique Peña Nieto than with Mexico-bashing U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

“It’s a strong competition, but I would dare to say Peña Nieto is more unpopular,” said Miguel Martínez, an insurance agent. “Peña Nieto has more to do directly with what impacts us.”

Throughout the U.S. presidential campaign, Trump hurled insults at the United States' southern neighbor, calling some Mexican migrants “rapists” and robbers. He also promised to build a wall along the border to stem illegal entries — and Mexico would paid for it.

Despite Trump's litany of criticisms, Mexicans are increasingly upset with their own government. This month they marched in the streets, blocked highways, looted stores and closed gas stations to protest gasolinazo, the jump in the government-set gasoline price.

“It hits you in the pocketbook,” said Martínez, who marched in one of the many protests in Mexico City. “You have to pay more for public transport and basics like food" because of the gasolinazo.

It’s no small matter in a country where the minimum wage is $4 per day, and the Mexican peso lost roughly 20% of its value in 2016. The peso plunged another 1.94% Wednesday, as Commerce secretary nominee Wilbur Ross reiterated plans to renegotiate NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, Reuters reported.

Peña Nieto holds a low approval rating of 12%, according to a poll published Wednesday in the Reforma newspaper, as Mexico is engulfed with deep public debts, sluggish oil revenues and political scandals.
