Trump has not accepted Mexico's offer to help Houston flooding victims

Donald Trump's administration has not yet decided whether it will accept assistance from Mexico to help the victims of a hurricane in Texas.
The Mexican government expressed its "full solidarity" with the people and government of the US and said it had "offered to provide help and cooperation" in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.
Mexico previously provided help in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, with soldiers from the Mexican army serving meals, distributing supplies and conducting medical consultations.

Talk shit about people and admonish them that they are going to pay for the wall, and then are put in a situation where he feels he has to turn down our neighbor's generosity. Sad.

If he turns them down or tries to make this some kind of quid pro quo, he will disgrace himself and us.

There's no other word for it. He cares more about his childish vendetta against Mexico than about people in crisis.
