EDIT: To be clear, he's referring to the President Of Mexico's cell phone.

This is after Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the call was scheduled two days ago.

Two days prior...

The White House announced Tuesday that President Trump had plans to call Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to express condolences over the earthquake that shook southern Mexico last week.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked by a reporter why Trump hadn't called Peña Nieto after an 8.2 magnitude earthquake rocked the country Friday, leaving about 100 dead.

"They actually have a call scheduled today, it's actually taking place, I think, within the hour," Sanders replied.

Mexico on Monday rescinded a previous offer to extend aid to U.S. victims of Hurricane Harvey, citing improved conditions around Houston and a need to send emergency supplies to the southern states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, the hardest hit by the earthquake.

Shortly after the flooding in Texas, Mexico offered disaster assistance, which Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) accepted, but Trump never officially responded to the offer.

Trump is actually saying that the Mexican president's cell is to blame. He says "his" reception

Voicemails are a bitch yall

 

[kevin1025]

I didn't know bad cell reception blocked tweets.

 

[tedtropy]

"Also, because I didn't give a shit."

My guess is the President of Mexico has a SAT phone or any of a number of backup ways to contact him.

 

[Lunar15]

Weren't other world leaders able to make the call?

 

[Smellycat]

lol come on bro

 

[Lonely1]

Hey. At least he acknowledged it now. :shurgs:

Of course even when apologizing he directs the blame at something other than his lol

 

[ShdwDrake]

He could tweeted. You couldn't call him? That's a good thing to tweet when it happens...

doh. also i heard part of mexico had a blackout which didn't last that long. maybe he called during that time when everything was "down"

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

I think it's worse for him to say this instead of not saying anything at all

 

[Boke1879]

The man tweets everyday. He didn't tweet about it once.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Ok, Grandma...

 

[Chozoman]

Reads like a guy that didn't call his buddy when they had plans.

"Sorry dude...totally meant to call, but my reception is real spotty."

 

[Surfinn]

It's a shame that cell phones are the only form of communication in 2017

 

[Akuun]

Clearly, America's infrastructure sucks so much that the President can't get reception when he needs to make a call.

 

[Username1198]

LMAO MY BRAIN ITS DONE

Trump shoulda at least tried smoke signals that he blows out his orange ass

 

[Horns]

There's some dumb sucker out there who believes Trump too.

 

[Kayhan]

but his wifi

 

[Dash_Riprock]

There's some dumb sucker out there who believes Trump too.

Some? Try millions.

[The Cowboy]

Just be honest you racist Nazi piece of shit, say "i didn't offer condolences to Mexico because its full of Mexicans" - we know this is the real reason.

 

[kevin1025]

The man tweets everyday. He didn't tweet about it once.

The other person's cell reception really put a damper on Trump's fingers being able to tweet.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

"Obama's dog ate my address to the Nation, I swear!"

 

[Szadek]

Is there a tunnel in the white house?

 

[Sephzilla]

I have a hard time believing the President of the United States had a hard time getting phone reception someplace

 

[BoogieWoogie]

I would think that the President of the United States would be the one person on earth where his cell phone would work 100 percent of the time. This is fucking clown shoes.

 

[SeanC]

That's why you release an official public statement offering help and condolences....you know, kinda like how Mexico did for Texas.

 

[Lonely1]

Eh, He's talking about Peña Nieto's phone, guys.

 

[Z_Y]

I think it's worse for him to say this instead of not saying anything at all

Pretty much sums up everything Trump has ever said.

 

[Horns]

Some? Try millions.

Sad to admit that you're probably right.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Just wait until the tallest wall the world has ever seen is erected. Good luck getting in touch with loved ones after that. It will fuck yo reception up, bigly.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Eh, He's talking about Peña Nieto's phone, guys.

Did the Mexican President's phone reception also stop Trump from making a public statement?

 

[Slayven]

Did the earthquake take out satellites and long range radio?

 

[mclem]

One day Trump will realise that that's why the media weren't impressed by the size of his inauguration crowds.

Spoiler

He got a bad reception

 

[Electric Eye]

Did the earthquake take out the state departments pr person that could have sent condolences via the media? 🙄

 

[kevin1025]

Yes.

When one person's cell phone isn't working, nothing works in the country above it.

 

[Barajas_201]

What a joke.

 

[Reversed]

The failing Telcel reception.

Edit: I double checked just for curiosity, and yes, EPN uses Telcel.

Lets face it, if he really gave a fuck he'd have tweeted it.
