Second ex-Mexican president attacks ‘racist’ Trump campaign

Mr Trump is exploiting the social fears “that in his time Hitler himself did”, Mr Calderon told reporters.

“If Donald Trump becomes the next president of the U.S.it would be a complete disaster”.

Mr Calderon’s comments parallel those made earlier by former president Vicente Fox, who preceded him in office and also belonged to the PAN party. When the anchor in the video above says that Trump thinks that Mexico will pay for the wall, because they need the United States economically, Fox once again says, “I’m not gonna pay for the F*CKING wall”.

Former Mexican president Felipe Calderon has savaged Donald Trump, saying the Republican US presidential front-runner’s campaign is racist and his comments on immigration are fuelling anti-American sentiment around the world.

Harvard Professor Danielle Allen, a liberal political theorist at Harvard University said: “Like any number of us raised in the late 20th century, I’ve spent my life perplexed about exactly how Hitler could have come to power in Germany”. Fox also declared that what is happening in the USA presidential race is “not democracy” and said Trump will pay for the wall because he’s got enough money to do it on his own. He has offended the Chinese. “That’s the way he started speaking”, Fox said in a phone interview with CNN on Friday.

In the interview, Fox urged American Latinos to “open their eyes” and not fall for Trump, who he labeled a “false prophet”. “… Vicente Fox horribly used the F word when discussing the wall”. ‘I am not and he should know that.

“There has been a lot of harmful and unacceptable rhetoric and I nearly feel obliged to ask for an apology for this presidential campaign in my country and what has been said about Mexicans”, he said during an official visit to Mexico yesterday.

Fox concluded Trump is simply egocentric.

“I’m happy to be on the Trump team and I look forward to working with him”, Christie said.

Fox told CNN he won’t apologize for that remark.
