Mexicans blast their president for meeting with Trump
Already-unpopular President Enrique Pena is even more unpopular following his Trump meeting.
Mexicans lashed out at unpopular President Enrique Pena Nieto’s decision to meet with Donald Trump on Wednesday as analysts said the meeting appeared to favor the Republican presidential nominee.
Jesús Silva-Herzog, a Mexican academic, called the encounter the “biggest stupidity in the history of the Mexican presidency.”

In the meeting, Peña Nieto didn’t demand that Trump apologize for calling Mexican migrants rapists and criminals. He also stood silently by in their joint press conference while Republican candidate repeated his promise to build a border wall between the countries.
Hashtags calling on Peña Nieto to resign trended on Twitter after the meeting.
“The humiliation is now complete,” tweeted Carlos Loret de Mola, a news anchor for broadcaster Televisa.
