You gotta source for that? All I heard was that the Mexican president addressed it publicly after Trump said this bs on the campaign trail.

For some reason my search results refuse to turn up the actual transcript, just other people reading exerpts.

Haha I think I missed that! Thanks for this. You're right that he did beg the Mexican president, but it sounds like he didn't care at all if he actually did it. He just wanted him to say he would pay for it lol
