Opinion: Trump has fundamentally changed the way global leaders view America
NBC "News" ^ | January 25, 2018 | by Vicente Fox

Posted on 01/25/2018 9:23:41 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

I know what it’s like to lead a country. My advice to Trump is to get out of politics before he does any more damage.

America is great. It's always been great — we don’t need to “make it great again”. I actually think that it’s always going to be great. But I want to emphasize that America could be greater if it sees itself as more than just the United States, if it sees itself as a part of a larger America. All all of us together — Canada, the United States and Mexico, The North American continent — could be the strongest, most competitive region in the world and the largest consumer market in the world.

But not with President Donald Trump.

The first day Trump spoke about Mexico and Mexicans, I felt very, very bad. Mexico doesn't deserve these insults, we don't deserve all the qualifications and the adjectives that he has used to describe us. Calling us criminals. Calling us rapists.

In 2016, Trump offended 120 million Mexicans. And as a representative of Mexico, I’m here to make it clear that the real Mexico is different. We are still one of the largest economies in the world. We are a solid nation with a solid future. Mexico is a reliable partner to United States.

Trump said the American Dream was dead. He’s a liar. The American Dream is alive. But here’s the thing: if you believe in the greatest of American ideals, if you truly believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, you cannot remain indifferent to the evils of persecution, poverty, slavery, tyranny and discrimination that drove people out of the old world and are threatening to destroy this new one. America, resist.

Vicente Fox is the former president of a s-hole known as Mexico. He was previously a rancher, boot maker, truck driver, Coca-Cola executive, democracy activist, congressman and a governor of the state of Guanajuato. His new book, "Let's Move On," is a call for resistance and a plea for unity.

I know when I want advise on the US, I first turn to former leaders of 3rd world countries where corruption, crime and poverty have been, are now and always will be rampant and out of control.

Mexico was a s_hole before Fox was President and still one after he was President. So he did nothing to change it. I can only assume he means for the U.S. to become as much of a s_hole as Mexico...

If the Davos attendees begin to walk out on Trump during his speech, he should say, ‘Please leave now if you consider your home country to be a s***hole!’

Translation: S**thole countries like the one that this retard ran are upset that America has stopped being a sucker, an easy mark for money.

Go piss in your Corona, grifter.

So the former leader of a narco republic on our southern border, who’s biggest legal contributor to its GDP is money sent home by folks in the US illegally doesn’t like Trump?

Big flipping whoop.

Actually work on improving your country, and you won’t have to keep encouraging your people to illegally head north to prop up your corrupt government.

Oh, I'm sure the White-European Mexicans did very well on Fox's watch.
