And Jose Gilberto Diaz Perez, a businessman and retired electrical company worker in Mexico City, said the thought Fox was a awful president: “I trust Trump more than Fox”.
Or his misogynistic claims about such women as Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly, whom Trump accused of being on her period after she tore into him during the first Republican debate.
“I will, and the wall just got ten feet taller, believe me”, Trump said, as the Texas audience roared.
“Of course it’s false”, Eduardo Sanchez, a spokesman for Pena Nieto, told Bloomberg. “This guy used a filthy, disgusting word on television and he should be ashamed of himself and he should apologize, okay?” “If this guy pretends that closing the borders to anywhere … is going to provide prosperity to the United States, he is completely insane”. Left to Donald Trump, Mexico will not be close to the USA either; if anything, it will be CLOSED to the United States.
Trump estimates said the wall will cost $10 billion to $12 billion, and span 1,000 miles.
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox sits down with Univision’s Jorge Ramos for an interview set to air Sunday.
Fox continued the theme in an interview this morning with news show host Adela Micha on Grupo Imagen, suggesting Trump should be apologizing to Mexicans and repeating his description of the wall.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer used this as a backdrop to ask the Republican frontrunner how exactly he’d get the wall built given the pushback from Mexican leaders-past and present. “And you can tell them to go” – pausing – “themselves because they let you down, and they left”.
He has been promising to build a wall on the southern U.S. border with Mexico since July 2015, as part of an immigration platform that includes deporting undocumented workers.
Fox’s comments set off the GOP candidate who demanded an apology in a tweet on Thursday.
