It’s always easier to deal with a wolf than a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
To keep his base behind him , AMLO will spew out anti-Yankee venom on a regular basis,. just like Chavez in VZ did. as his policies “progress”, the comparison with Chavez will begin to stick.
US ex-pats are going to need to be very careful. US tourism in Mexico will tank. The streams of migrants from central America and Mexico coming to the border will be viewed as an invading army when this guy opens his mouth.
My thought is not that this guy will want to keep people home. He is probably being backed by the globalists (Soros, et al) that want to turn Mexico into a full throated narco-terrorist state that supports money laundering banks, narcotics and human trafficking. A lot more money in that in the short term than establishing robust legal trade with the US.
The US globalist media will support him when he creates migration crises on the border. But, I don’t think that the American people will fall for this; the media has no credibility and the public doesn’t want more illegals on welfare/prison, drugs and human trafficking.
CNN can show keep showing crying babies and screaming liberals, but it won’t work.
“””US ex-pats are going to need to be very careful.”””
I agree.
I would not want to be retiree who thought it would be cool to live cheaply in Mexico.
