--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the Associated Press is reporting Trump reportedly threatened
to send U.S. troops to Mexico during a phone call with Mexican President
Enrique Peņa Nieto on Friday. According to excerpts of the transcript
obtained by the Associated Press, Trump told Peņa Nieto, "You have a
bunch of bad hombres down there. You aren't doing enough to stop them. I
think your military is scared. Our military isn't, so I just might send
them down to take care of it."
