... n what looks like a case of "he said, she said," President-elect Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum appear to have starkly different recollections of a conversation that covered the hot-button issue of migration.

Yeah, that Pres-elect Trump and the President of Mexico can have a conversation, and Pres-elect Trump then comes away from that conversation with some imagined (and false?) outcome, is nothing short of frightening.
