The entire endeavor had been considered a last ditch effort on behalf of the Trump campaign to salvage any possible relationship with the Mexican government. Trump first paraded the massive mare monument around the center of the nation\u2019s capital to symbolize his devotion to this new partnership.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mexican citizens remained unmoved by the gesture, with English teacher Jose Marquez calling it, \u201cinconveniently large and astoundingly tacky.\u201d He continued, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like pulling out of your driveway, hoping for light traffic on your way to work, only to find a massive wooden horse blocking the roads in all directions. Some of us have places to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Donald Trump and his entourage (horse and all) made their way around the city, the business mogul met with President Nieto to present to him the gift horse, asking him not to look it in the mouth, or in any other opening for that matter. Members of the President\u2019s staff later reported that Nieto was shocked, but too confused to question the incredibly white man&#8217;s intentions.<\/p>\n<p>Onlookers noted how hard it must have been for Trump to pull the massive wooden beast, due to his teeny-tiny hands. <span data-offset-key=\"74sce-0-0\"><span data-text=\"true\">Following his meeting with the Mexican President, Trump retreated back to America, appearing eager to return to a nation he didn\u2019t think was filled with rapists and murderers<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the Trump campaign jet had left Mexican airspace, the large wooden horse began to tremble as an opening then appeared on the horse\u2019s underside. One by one, hundreds of Mexican immigrants began emerging from the inside of the spacious stallion statue. President Nieto looked on in horror as he realized that his people had been forcibly packed into the giant structure and gifted to him under the pretense of peace. When the last man emerged from the horse, he ran over to the president and handed Nieto a slip of paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s the bill for the horse,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Joe King MEXICO CITY \u2014 Wednesday afternoon, fading presidential candidate Donald Trump arrived in Mexico to meet with Mexican President Enrique Pe\u00f1a Nieto and presented him with a giant [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","has_thumb"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/TrumpHorsePic.png?fit=612%2C414&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7b5Hd-5F","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":233,"url":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/2016\/01\/14\/donald-trump-demands-dora-the-explorer-pay-for-whimsical-obstacles\/","url_meta":{"origin":351,"position":0},"title":"Donald Trump Demands Dora the Explorer Pay for Whimsical Obstacles","author":"Hoosier Flipside","date":"January 14, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"By: Pink Freud The latest GOP debate was sparked with controversy when Republican populist, Donald Trump, demanded that beloved Nick Junior icon, Dora the Explorer, pay for the whimsical obstacles to be erected in her path. \u201cConsidering how much ad money American corporations have poured into Dora,\u201d fumed Trump, \u201csurely\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Politics&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Politics","link":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/category\/politics\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Donald_Swiper.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Donald_Swiper.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Donald_Swiper.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Donald_Swiper.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hoosierflipside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Donald_Swiper.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":400,"url":"https:\/\/hoosierflipside.com\/index.php\/2016\/10\/10\/an-open-letter-to-donald-trump-from-his-wig\/","url_meta":{"origin":351,"position":1},"title":"An Open Letter to Donald Trump from His Toupee","author":"Hoosier Flipside","date":"October 10, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"For many years, I\u2019ve endured the ridicule of those who assumed I was simply an inanimate mass of yellow cotton candy atop the cranium of a controversial presidential candidate.
