I can't find one so-called reputable news source carrying the article though there are many by those with an obvious left-leaning ideology. Not saying the article isn't true or fake news but I do wonder why no one in the MSM seem at all interested. John Gartner does exist and is, from what I just read, well respected.

Trump Enraged as Mexican President Meets with Meryl Streep Instead




MEXICO CITY (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump’s personal war with Mexico escalated further on Friday after Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto cancelled his meeting with Trump and scheduled one with Meryl Streep instead.
“The American people are a great people, and no one personifies that greatness better than Meryl Streep,” Peña Nieto said in an official statement.
The summit with Streep was widely seen as a prelude to Mexico establishing full diplomatic relations with the Academy Award-winning actress.
At the White House, Trump’s advisers were reportedly considering a host of retaliatory measures, including Steve Bannon’s proposal that the President of Mexico be told to “shut up.”
During his daily press briefing, the White House spokesman Sean Spicer called Peña Nieto’s decision to meet with Streep instead of Trump “absurd.”
“President Trump is a much greater American than Meryl Streep and has won way more Oscars than she has, period,” Spicer said.

Trump Enraged as Mexican President Meets with Meryl Streep Instead

People may want to remember that Mexico's President is not a nice guy. He was financially backed by the Cartels to get elected.

But another topic, the White House doesn't like Jews either........


Lack of reference to Judaism or antisemitism in Trump administration’s statement ‘puzzling and troubling’, head of Anti-Defamation League said

The White House raised eyebrows on Friday when it issued a statement to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, that did not mention Jews, Judaism or anti-Semitism

On Twitter, Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League wrote that the statement “misses that it was six million Jews who perished, not just ‘innocent people’” and described it as “puzzling and troubling” that there was no explicit mention of Jews.
In past statements and speeches commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Barack Obama explicitly referred to the “unique” nature of the Holocaust and “the scourge of antisemitism” and to the murder of six million Jews.

The oversight by the White House comes as the Trump administration is still adjusting to the transition of power.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Mexico's President only has a 12% approval rating, so I hear. Once he gets over his temper tantrum the dispute will be worked out.
He can meet with Meryl Streep or Madonna or Hillary Clinton or Jesus Christ if he so chooses, but Donald Trump is the one who is calling the shots.

Darnold Trump is too busy admiring himself in the mirror to give a damn what you or anybody else thinks. He may be calling the shots now but it is obvious that the Republicans will turn on him soon if they have any sense of self preservation.

No they won't. The CIA is on to you, Cliffy. They are going to your house, open up your head with a can opener and eat your brain with tablespoons. It is the will of Landru.

I've been pissing in their corn flakes for decades and they still haven't said boo to me. Besides, I have an official CIA and FBI hats.

For those that are used to Presidents only fundraising, playing golf, or bathing with bathtub cereal girl, it must've been a confusing week.

So, what you're saying is that they have already been to your house, opened up your head and spooned out whatever they found. They are efficient!

Darnold .... it is obvious that the Republicans will turn on him soon if they have any sense of self preservation.

What is obvious is the deafening silence of the RNC, Cliffy. It is as if they are just as dumb-struck as everybody else at the speed with which this new administration is working to put its stamp on the White House and this Presidency. Both houses appear to be wrapped up in confirmation hearings but once all appointments are approved, the real work of getting Trump legislation passed will begin. We will see then just how supportive or non-supportive the Republican held Congress and Senate are of the new President.
