CTMobile.com President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico strikes back again at Donald Trump. In her latest press conference, she took out a map of Mexico from 1607 and she said, look, Donald, if you're gonna start threatening to conquer this nation or that nation, how about what we really do is rename the United States Mexican America and let's redraw those borders from 1607. If we're gonna start talking about terr editorial expansion. I love this. This is how you have to kind of just mock Donald Trump back and show strength. I want you to watch this. And we translated her voice with AI Here, here, play this clip.
Claudia Sheinbaum
Obviously, Gulf of Mexico is name recognized by the United Nations. It's an organization of the United Nations. But the next question is, why don't we call it Mexican America? It sounds nice, doesn't it? Right. Since 1607, the Apatzingan constitution referred to it as Mexican America. So let's call it Mexican America. It sounds nice, doesn't it? And Gulf of Mexico, well, you see, since 1607. And it's also recognized internationally. Well, historically speaking, because as you might know, I know they're going to ask me. I think that yesterday, President Trump, they misinformed President Trump, with all due respect, because I believe they told him that Felipe Calderon and Garcia Luna were still in power in Mexico.
Political Commentator
Yeah. As Ian Bremmer says, file that under too can play at that game, Donald. You heard her right there getting out that old map to show Mexico's territorial claims on the United States. And I've been covering Claudia Scheinbaum's responses to Donald Trump. When Donald Trump first threatened Mexico and Canada with 25% tariffs, President Claudia Scheinbaum said, if you do that to us, Donald, we, we're going to make it hurt for you. We're going to make you feel pain. And by the way, Donald, perhaps you shouldn't be spending all of this money on military and weapons of war and your designs of conquest and perhaps deal with a comprehensive immigration solution versus just blaming everybody else. And by the way, don't blame Mexico for synthetic drugs. We here in Mexico don't have a synthetic drug problem. It's actually from the United States where that problem originates and that 95 to 99% of the casualties and deaths are coming from inside the United States. And she goes, also, by the way, you know, a lot of the violence in Mexico is caused by the fact that America has a rampant gun culture and your weapons of war get exported across our border. So let's have that talk, Donald. And by the way, do you realize that some of your biggest car manufacturers are based in Mexico? So put some tariffs on us and we'll make sure that you feel pain as well. And then Donald Trump spoke to her and Donald Trump tried to claim like a victory in the negotiation and she responded right away. She goes, no, I didn't change any of my positions. I made it very clear where Mexico stands on these issues. Donald Trump knows that he can go pound sand. And again, it's not just Mexico who's standing up to Donald Trump. We're now seeing this internationally. We're seeing it with the eu we're seeing it in Canada. We're seeing it with the UK we're seeing it in countries like Panama. Heck, we're seeing it in countries like the Bahamas. But here's some of the other headlines just from the past 24 hours. France warns Donald Trump against threatening EU sovereign borders. The foreign minister of France hits back at Donald Trump after Trump refuses to rule out military control over Greenland. And the foreign minister of France reminded Donald Trump that we in the European Union have a mutual defense agreement. So if you intend to pursue territorial conquests of Greenland, then we're going to defend Denmark, who's not just a member of NATO, by the way, if you're going to attack your NATO allies. But we here in Europe owe a defense duty to Denmark and we will defend Denmark against you, Donald Trump. So that's one headline. Then you have Germany's chancellor warning Donald Trump over threatening to take control of Greenland on Wednesday. German's chancellor calls out Donald Trump over his threats to seize control of Greenland, saying the inviability of borders applies to every country. Borders must not be shifted by force, said German chancellor. Germany's chancellor this principle applies and it is a foundation of Our peaceful order. Um, again, Scholes was reacting to all of Donald Trump statements. And Scholz said he had discussed the issue with fellow European leaders on Wednesday, reporting a certain lack of understanding regarding current statements from the US Among European partners. The principle of the inviability of borders applies to every country, whether it's to the east or west of us, and every state must abide by it, whether it's a small country or a very powerful state. It is a fundamental principle of international law and a core component of what we call Western values. Donald Germany's chancellor also highlighted the importance of the Western defense alliance, NATO, calling it the central pillar of the transatlantic relationship. During his press conference this week, Trump made more attacks on NATO, to which German's chancellor said one thing is clear. The security situation in Europe will remain very tense for the foreseeable future. We must respond to this in a calm and resolute manner. Um, and then they go on to basically say, look, there is a mutual defense agreement. Uh, it is out of the question that the EU allows other nations of the world, whoever they are, any, and I would even say, starting with Russia, to attack its sovereign borders. Um, and that one came from French's foreign minister, who I referenced before, John Noel Barrett. Barrett said that European Union must wake up and strengthen itself militarily and should not be intimidated or made to feel insecure by Donald Trump. If you're asking me whether I think the US will invade Greenland, the answer is no, he said. But have we entered an error in which the law of the jungle is returning? The answer is yes. Here's page one from the Financial Times. Europe's leaders warn Trump against meddling with its sovereign borders. Greenland threat sparks backlash EU defense pact covers the island. Musk's support of the AfD right wing extreme neo Nazi party in Germany adds to concerns. And this article talks about how European leaders are warning Donald Trump, do not meddle with our continent's borders. German chancellor who I just referenced, it goes on to talk about, in addition, the French foreign minister who I mentioned, and it says the EU treaty contains a mutual defense clause that specifies if a member is a victim of armed aggression on its territory. The other states have an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power. In other words, you touch Greenland, which is part of Denmark, just part of the eu. We're going to fight you United States, and you want to trigger a war with Europe. By the way, everybody check out the interview I did. I've done two interviews actually now with Corey Hargreaves. He's a former army sniper. He was sent on two deployments in Iraq as in connection with being a sniper. He's someone who grew up on a Native American reservation. To a single mom, he was very poor. He said the only pathway available to him to do anything was join the military. And he has a very unique perspective here as well that he shares about someone like Donald Trump, who's never served, served in the military, and a lot of these chicken hawk mega Republicans who, by the way, were out there saying, oh, Trump's gonna stop World War Three. Trump's gonna stop World War Three from happening. And he goes, now you're gonna send young men and women to die in wars against our allies, to attack a NATO country like Denmark or other countries in the EU or attack Canada, and just watch that interview. But you know who's loving all of this? Russia. Um, this is being reported in the Denmark papers. This out of Copenhagen. Russian cheers for Trump. Quote, he will dismantle the remnants of the old world order much faster and more effectively than we could. We do it from the outside. He does it from the inside. Here's another Google translate of a another headline there. The mood is good in the Kremlin. Trump has just fulfilled Putin's greatest wish. They can already imagine how Russia can now lay claim to Estonia, Finland, Poland and other nations nearby because of Donald Trump's laying claim to Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal. Well, then Vladimir Putin says, of course, that's why I want all these other nations. That's why President Xi Jinping of China says, that's why I get Taiwan. That's why I get this nation. By Trump merely saying that he's going to be doing these things and that he won't rule out military force. He has created the permission structure for countries like China to invade their neighbors, for countries like Russia to keep on invading. And Trump has already, already, before day one, destroyed our international allies and alliances. He's already destroyed it before day one. Think about that.

Danish officials fear Trump is much more serious about acquiring Greenland then in first term. And it goes on to say the ecosystem supporting this idea is different now. According to a Danish official, this seems much more serious. Um, and you know, they're taking the threats like they're beefing up their military and maybe ready to go to war with the United States, they're hand we gotta handle business. If you're gonna attack us, we're gonna build up military to get ready to defend ourselves. And if we have to go to war and Europe's gonna go to war with the United States and that's what you're gonna do. We'll go to war with you. We'll do it. We hope that you're trolling, but we're ready to go. By the way, this is a meme that we created at the Midas Touch network. Voters, can we get lower prices? Trump? Best I can do is invade Canada. Think about that right there. And then all these other MAGA idiots, I mean MAGA members of Congress then gave all of these interviews and they were being kind of normalized by the corporate media. You have Representative Brandon Gill saying Trump is bringing us into the golden age of America. This is the new manifest destiny. Reacquiring the Panama Canal, acquiring Greenland, renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This is the light of America expanding. I mean, seriously, this is, you know, you then have Benny Johnson bringing MAGA Republican Congress members on, showing them a map of the new America, the greater American empire, which involves conquering Mexico, Canada and Greenland. And you've got all of these, you know, American MAGA politicians out there saying, no, we're going to conquer it. This is what we want to do. This is what we're going to do. We're going to, we're going to go to war with Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panama, everybody. We're going to war with everybody. Apparently, according to these MAGA idiots and world, this is not all of America. This is not all of America and some of America, but we don't, we don't support this. And if this ever happens, we will make sure our voices are heard here. I want to assure you of that in the biggest way possible. We're not running away from this. We will confront this head on if this is what they're going to do. Okay. By the way, you have a situation where in Canada, you have everybody from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saying the following. There isn't a snowballs chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States. Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other's biggest trading partners. So Liberal Party Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, although he resigned. NDP leader Jagmeet Singh saying, we're going to stand up to the bully. We are going to make sure that if Trump's going to pick a fight, it's a fight that we're ready for. And then on the right way, you have, you know, these in a provincial, at provincial level too. I mean, you have people who were once maga, kind of MAGA Canada, like Doug Ford, who's out there saying, why don't we conquer America? Why don't we take Alaska, Minnesota and there are some other states that we may want as, as well. You also had someone in the Green Party, I did a video on her yesterday as well, saying the same thing. So they're all uniting in Canada. The world is uniting against the United States of America. America went from a uniting force, NATO and all of our alliances to now the world. Now we're a pariah state. Now the world is uniting against us. It is humiliating here. And as long and until I still have my ability to make YouTube videos and speak my mind freely, and as long as, until they lock me up, I'm going to just call out this Trump regime for the wannabe fascist, the weak, pathetic individuals that they are. I'm gonna use my voice here and call them out. I'm gonna do a corporate media refuses to do here in the United States. And I'm not afraid. Not afraid at all. Hit subscribe let's get to 4 million subscribers together. Let's keep growing this platform, folks. Thanks for watching.

The MeidasTouch Podcast: "Mexico President PUTS Trump TO SHAME in Public"
Release Date: January 9, 2025
In this riveting episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, hosts Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas delve deep into the escalating tensions between Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum and former U.S. President Donald Trump. The discussion is rich with political analysis, international reactions, and the broader implications of Trump's aggressive foreign policy rhetoric.
The episode kicks off with the Political Commentator highlighting President Claudia Sheinbaum's latest public affront to Donald Trump. In a press conference, Sheinbaum wielded a map from 1607 to underscore Mexico's territorial claims, provocatively suggesting the renaming of the United States to Mexican America if Trump persisted in his expansionist threats.
Claudia Sheinbaum: "Let's call it Mexican America. It sounds nice, doesn't it?"
[Timestamp: 01:16]
Sheinbaum's move is portrayed as a strategic mockery designed to showcase Mexico's strength and resilience against Trump's overtures.
The podcast delves into the broader international community's response to Trump's rhetoric. European leaders, including France's Foreign Minister John Noel Barrett and Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz, have vocally opposed Trump's suggestions to seize territories like Greenland.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz: "Borders must not be shifted by force... It is a fundamental principle of international law and a core component of what we call Western values."
[Timestamp: 04:30]
The hosts emphasize that these leaders are invoking mutual defense agreements within the European Union and NATO to deter any potential aggression from the United States.
Amidst the tension, Russia's Kremlin expresses approval of Trump's dismantling of existing international orders, seeing it as an opportunity to advance their own territorial ambitions.
Russian Official: "He will dismantle the remnants of the old world order much faster and more effectively than we could."
[Timestamp: 07:50]
Similarly, China's President Xi Jinping views Trump's actions as paving the way for further expansions, particularly concerning Taiwan.
The hosts discuss how Trump's aggressive stance is fracturing longstanding U.S. alliances. Corey Hargreaves, a former army sniper interviewed on the podcast, criticizes Trump for undermining NATO and dragging the U.S. into unnecessary conflicts.
Corey Hargreaves: "You're going to send young men and women to die in wars against our allies."
[Timestamp: 09:15]
This sentiment is echoed by European leaders who stress the importance of the Western defense alliance as the backbone of transatlantic relations.
Turning inward, the podcast addresses the rise of extremist sentiments within the MAGA movement. Representatives like Brandon Gill and Benny Johnson are scrutinized for advocating America's expansionist desires, including the conquest of Canada, Mexico, and Greenland.
Representative Brandon Gill: "Trump is bringing us into the golden age of America. This is the new manifest destiny."
[Timestamp: 11:00]
In contrast, Canadian leaders such as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh reaffirm their commitment to peaceful relations, dismissing any notions of American territorial expansion.
The episode paints a grim picture of the United States' standing in the world. Once hailed as a unifying force through alliances like NATO, the U.S. is now depicted as a pariah state, alienating allies and provoking adversaries.
The hosts express concern over the normalization of Trump’s extreme policies by corporate media and the public, emphasizing the potential for global instability and conflict.
In their concluding remarks, Ben, Brett, and Jordy urge listeners to remain vigilant and proactive in opposing the "Trump regime." They emphasize the importance of platforms like The MeidasTouch Podcast in combating misinformation and advocating for democratic values.
Jordy Meiselas: "We're not running away from this. We will confront this head-on if this is what they're going to do."
[Timestamp: 13:20]
The episode closes with a fervent appeal for support, encouraging listeners to subscribe and help amplify their message against authoritarian tendencies.

This episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast offers a comprehensive analysis of the deteriorating U.S.-Mexico relationship under Trump's influence, the international community's response, and the internal political strife fueled by extremist factions. Through incisive commentary and a wealth of information, the Meiselas brothers underscore the urgent need to uphold democratic values and resist authoritarian impulses on both the national and global stages.
