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.

I’m already tired of these “Trump mocked / slammed / blasted / whatever” posts. My God the coming years will be insufferable

[-] masterbaexunn@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

One morning well wake up to his obituary

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago

At this point I can't even take that for granted.

[-] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't even be surprised.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 years ago

You mean like the last 8+ years?

Yeah ... Was really hoping we were coming to a close on that but here we are

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

He looks like he has aged and lost weight. Which might be better for his longevity.

[-] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Doesn't he look tired to you?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

All the time. His hair looks thin as hell too.

[-] thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

💯

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

“Eviscerated” will be coming back. Why.

[-] thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 96 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fuck the formalities—all world leaders need to shit on him on the record. He needs to be embarrassed hard. Maybe he’ll get so pissed off that he shits himself and gives up the ghost.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago

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?

[-] gex@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

He was laughed at at the UN

His reaction? "No they didn't", his cult believed his word over their own lying eyes.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Piatro@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

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?"

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Nah, Americans hate weakness. Just straight up dunking on him whenever they have to talk about America would work.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

What do them sissy fereners know bout strength?? /s

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

They just need to point how weird he is and how he seems to lack energy.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

they will do that the moment he stops being president. just like Nixon and Bush.

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

I hope Sheinbaum humiliates him.

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Of course they did.

stating Mexico opposes closing borders

And yet, the Mexico-Guatemala Border is nearly entirely closed? I don't support a closed border but that's pretty hypocritical

To clarify, you need to go to specific check points just like the US-Mexico border. And you need specific documentation, just like the US-Mexico Border

[-] GetOffMyLan@programming.dev 31 points 2 years ago

Then it's not a closed border right? Like the Us / Mexico one isn't.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

The notion that Trump and his ilk are conflating two ideas in the news - intentionally or moronically - for PR benefits, shouldn't be surprising so much as just continuing the trend.

[-] youstolemyname@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

To clarify, you need to go to specific check points just like the US-Mexico border. And you need specific documentation, just like the US-Mexico Border

So it's not closed? A closed border would not allow any (legal) crossings.

[-] Supernova1051@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

100% contradicting yourself, my guy.
