Donald Trump certainly knows how to manipulate the media and ruffle some feathers in order to get a reaction, this we know. Trump's plan to build a wall on the Mexican border doesn't need to be rehashed here, but one person who has let Trump's rhetoric on the subject get under his skin is former Mexican president Vicente Fox.
Fox has been on an emotional roller coaster ever since Trump started in with his criticisms of Mexico.
Initially, Fox took to the airwaves to let everyone know that the wall Trump has said Mexico will pay for, ya, he's not going to be paying for that.
"I declare, I'm not going to pay for that f*cking wall"

This is so ‘The Mouse That Roared.’
Maybe that is the idea, as it was in the original book: go to war with the US; lose; receive huge amounts of US aid to rebuild your war shattered country. Or even better have the US annex your country, and presto, you are all American citizens; you don’t even have to leave home to cross the border.
...Remember the Alamo...
...bad example...
Remember San Jacinto is more appropriate.
9 out of 10 Mexican Cartel leaders LIKE Fox.. They did very well under his reign.
Plutocracy has losers. All failed socialiste nationales attempt to export their mistakes...Venez is a classic example of what happens when the mistakes have nowhere to go, hemmed in by geography and their own stupidity...
War? Mexico cant survive without cash transfers from the US.
How will they achieve this miracle?
They cant even deal with the drug cartels, they have corrupt alliances with them.
Bring it on
Yes it is.
Yeah no kidding, everyone forgets what really goes on down there. Ie the mexican racism against the browner tribes and races down there.
Odd that you would post a picture of a man and his family, with no identification, when he is not mentioned anywhere in the article.
As long as we get to throw out every Mexican in the U.S. as enemy - I’m ready.
Not anymore. GO TRUMP!
Exactly
” He also warns that if Trump starts a trade war, then Mexico could retaliate by stopping or limiting money transfers and remittances for US corporations and American tourists in Mexico. Because as Vicente Fox says “Dont play around with us, we can jump walls, we can swim rivers, & we can defend ourselves.” And he warns that if Trump becomes President, he “could take us to a war, not just a trade war.”
Haven’t seen any laser armed Reapers on patrol sporting Mexican colors.
Can’t be worse than managing PR and their defaults...
“Mexico does not behave like an ally”
When was Mexico ever an ally?
Lock about 20 million Mexican men of military age inside Mexico rather than allowing them in the US.
Let them start agitating for change.
Mexico has becoming a whining welfare queen with the US taxpayers footing the bill for decades.
And we can turn Mexico City into the Grand Canyon...
The left does not want this at all. The last thing they want is a reason to unify Americans against mexico in a major conflict. Having been humiliated by the left over the years following the 911 capitulation there is more anger just waiting to boil over. In an environment where people are no longer constrained by PC the response could be tremendous. It could trigger retribution not only against mexico but the Muslim infiltrators as well. The would not serve the cause of the left. They need to do what they can to get these fools to stand down before the wave builds and wipes them all off the map.
