Clinton Says Trump Created 'Diplomatic Incident' With Mexico Trip

Hillary Clinton said in an interview in Cleveland, Ohio, with ABC News' David Muir that Donald Trump created a "diplomatic incident" last week with his trip to Mexico.

"He came out saying one thing and the Mexican president contradicted him almost immediately," said Clinton, referring to Trump's claim that he did not discuss payment for the border wall, a centerpiece of his presidential campaign.

"He didn't raise it, so he did choke. He didn't know how to even communicate effectively with a head of state. And I think that's a pretty clear outcome from that trip," she added, taking Trump's word that the issue was not discussed.

But after the joint press conference in Mexico City, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto tweeted that the topic of the wall led off their conversation and said that he was unambiguous regarding his country’s stance.

but, he really is a wimp when it comes to it. I mean, this is a guy who cowered before a somewhat friendly moderator in Megyn Kelly before, and then complained she might be on her period afterwards. You're Tough Guy Trump, but a 120-130 pound woman on her period has you running in fear?
