Mexico has retracted its offer to send aid to Texas after two natural disasters pummeled the country. Media members in both countries noted that the withdrawal came after U.S. President Donald Trump failed to send his condolences for either one.

Southern Mexico is still suffering the after-effects of a deadly earthquake, which struck on Thursday, killing at least 96 people. More than 2.5 million are currently in need of aid, something that has been worsened by a second crisis also taxing state resources — Hurricane Katia, which hit the state’s eastern coast on Saturday, killing two people. Those dueling crises are taxing the government, seemingly leaving no room for international aid efforts.

When the strongest, most capable nation in the world, the U.S., has to start relying on others for Aid to it, we are fucked. Keep that in mind.
 
Its not about aid, but the fact that Trump didn't have the basic decency to express his condolences for the Mexican people.

I'm sure they will also return any aid money the American government sends them in protest of the slight, riiight?!

We should send them all the freshly educated Dreamers. I hear that they are the key to a thriving economy.

Excellent suggestion.

What does it say about the nature of "humanitarian" aid when it is withdrawn over hurt feelings?

I haven't noticed any slowdown in Mexican goods being imported, BTW. I guess their politically-motivated poutrage doesn't extend to snubbing the almighty American dollar.

I don't know, I kinda liked when Mayor Giuliani returned the $10 million dollar check from a Saudi Prince after 9/11 after the prince suggested the US had invited the attack.

I have no problem with Mexico withholding money, it is no doubt a symbolic amount anyway. I hope he understands when the US withholds a greater-than symbolic amount of aid to Mexico.
 
It's particularly amusing when liberals pretend to be outraged because Trump didn't send Mexico a Hallmark card since many of them spent the last two weeks wishing death and destruction on their own countrymen.
 
This isn't about aid money, but common sense decency which this administration lacks. In fact Mexico had already begun to send aid shipments to Texas, and this asshole in the White House just ignored them.
 
The subject is common decency at the tragedy that occurred in Mexico. It seems like the temporary resident of the White House lacks that common decency.
 
Not a problem honey bunch, all you need to do is keep Americans from demanding their drug products and then they won't be sending them here any more. Do you have any idea what demand and supply means? If there is a demand for a product, someone will supply it.
 
Did the liberals who publicly wished death and destruction on the people of Texas and Florida lack common decency?

Liberals have no moral high ground to stand on when it comes to exhibiting common decency about natural disasters.

You can call Trump out for his sin of omission after you call yourselves out for your sins of commission.
 
You seem to be another idiotic right wing poster. This isn't amount money, Sherlock, but common decency when any country suffers a tragedy.

I don't think the correct term is 'rely'. In this country, one side of the aisle doesn't feel that the wealthiest among us should fund disasters/safety nets/healthcare.

As such, tax cuts are much more important than taking care of our own.

Lock 'em up. It's refreshing to see a liberal in favor of strict enforcement of our border security and drug laws. Welcome aboard!

Because only government is wise enough to redistribute the wealth it confiscates as you see fit?
