By now, every American is familiar with one of Donald Trump’s most famous-and outrageous-campaign promises that he’s going to build wall along the Mexico-U.S. border and make the former nation pay for it.
Fox told Ramos that he is not anxious about Trump being elected president.
“Not at all”, he responded.
Fox said, “No no no, democracy cannot take that, insane people that don’t know what is going on in the world today”.
But Fox, who was president from 2000 to 2006, admitted that he was anxious about the fact that Trump won the backing of 46 percent of Hispanics who voted in the Republican caucus in the western state of Nevada.
“They must open their eyes”, he said. Please, you Hispanics in the USA, open your eyes.
The comments from Fox echo those of his successor, Felipe Calderón, who a week ago asserted that Mexico will not pay for a border wall.
“He must apologize!” Trump tweeted. It’s to defend this very same nation that is hosting you. Who is Trump? He’s not a Republican.
“I’m not going to pay for that f***ing wall”.
“Some of the rhetoric coming from some presidential candidates of the other team are I think risky, damaging and incredibly ill-advised”, Biden said at a meeting with top Mexican government officials.
Fox also called Trump “egocentric” and “a insane guy”. But there’s no sign that the current administration, led by Enrique Peña Nieto, has any interest in paying for the wall, either.
