Mexicans who help build President Donald Trumps planned border wall would be acting immorally and should be deemed traitors, the Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico said on Sunday, turning up the heat on a simmering dispute over the project.

In a provocative editorial, the countrys biggest Archdiocese sought to increase pressure on the government to take a tougher line on companies aiming to profit from the wall, which has strained relations between Trump and the Mexican government.

Any company intending to invest in the wall of the fanatic Trump would be immoral, but above all, its shareholders and owners should be considered traitors to the homeland, said the editorial in Desde la fe, the Archdioceses weekly publication.

On Tuesday, Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo warned firms it would not be in their interests to participate in the wall. But the editorial accused the government of responding tepidly to those eyeing the project for business.

A spokesman for the Archdiocese, which centers on Mexico City and is presided over by the countrys foremost Roman Catholic cleric, Cardinal Norberto Rivera, said the editorial represented the views of the diocese.

Trump says he wants to build the wall to stop illegal immigrants from crossing the U.S. southern border. He has pledged Mexico will pay for the wall, which the Mexican government adamantly says it will not do.

The Desde la fe editorial, which was published online, said the barrier would only feed prejudice and discrimination.

In practice, signing up for a project that is a serious affront to dignity is shooting yourself in the foot, it wrote. Mexican cement maker Cemex has said it is open to providing quotes to supply raw materials for the wall but will not take part in the bidding process to build it.

Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua, another company specializing in construction materials, has also signaled readiness to work on the project.

If Donald Trump were sad, it would be okay. It would make sense, given his historically low approval ratings and the humbling defeat he was dealt last week upon the failure of his Obamacare repeal. (He never got around to the whole replacement part.) If he were feelingas another Monday away from Mar-A-Lago rolls around, and he remains trapped far from the self-reinforcing adoration of his rally crowdssomewhat emo, that would make sense.

But of course, emoat least the version of the term used most readily as a punchlineis not just about being sad. Its about whining about how unfair the world is. Its a feeling of entitlement, that youre being unfairly maligned by parents and other dickheads who dont understand you. Its the feeling that the world is conspiring against you. And in that sense, Donald Trump is extremely emo right now. His entire personal brand these days, when not being presidential and reading off a teleprompter, is to whinge about the media and the Democrats and even the Republicans who are not helping him do what he wants.

This latest Emo Trump video from Super Deluxe tackles the all-important acoustic sing-along page of the early-00s mall-emo playbook. It is, as before, a spot-on parody of the style, even matching the sneering pronunciation that turns words like not into NYOT and the abrupt left turns into shout-alongs about how unfair and unfeeling the greater world is. Somewhere right now Donald Trump is absent-mindedly gazing into the middle distance during a boring foreign policy meeting, and this song is playing in his head. Hang in there, fellathings get a little easier in your late 70s.

Donald Trump: Tax reform next after healthcare failure - BBC News

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said President Trump cant simply place the troubled future of Obamacare at Democrats feet after he sought to sabotage its success and actively worked to make it fail from his first days in the Oval Office.

Lets be real clear: We are not talking about if nothing is done, Warren said. Donald Trump has already actively worked to try to make Obamacare fail. That has been his goal.

Trump took his legislative lumps yesterday afternoon after House Speaker Paul Ryan pulled the doomed GOPs repeal-and-replace of Obamacare before a vote was called. The president said he is moving on, and he added the 2010 health care law is now the Democrats problem.

Warren said theres a lot Trump can do to tank Obamacare pointing out that within his first week in office his administration slashed Obamacare signup outreach at a crucial time before deadlines.

What this is going to come down to is: Whats your real goal, Donald Trump? Warren asked.

Is your real goal to try to help Americans get the best health care they can? In which case he will support the Affordable Care act, Warren said at a town hall at Framingham State University last night.

But if his real goal is to just try to score political points, then what he is going to do is, every chance he gets, try to knock the legs out from underneath the Affordable Care Act and bring it down.

For herself, Warren noted that Obamacare could in fact unravel, and she said Washington could take a lesson from how Massachusetts tweaked Romneycare after its passage in 2006.

We got part of it in place, and then we made some changes, Warren said. We tried to make it a little better. Then we learned some, and then we made some more changes. Health care is complex, even though Donald Trump didnt know that. Most of us here in Massachusetts knew that, but we worked together to keep improving it.
