Former Mexican President Fox: Donald Trump Reminds Me of Hitler
On CNN yesterday, former Mexican President Vicente Fox continued his scathing criticism of GOP front runner Donald Trump, saying Trump reminds him of Hitler.
Normally, this would be a violation of Godwin’s Law, but Trump’s populist, xenophobic and openly racist rhetoric really is reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
“Today, he’s going to take that nation (U.S.) back to the old days of conflict, war and everything. I mean, he reminds me of Hitler. That’s the way he started speaking,” Fox told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in a phone interview on “Anderson Cooper 360.”
“He has offended Mexico, Mexicans, (and) immigrants. He has offended the Pope. He has offended the Chinese. He’s offended everybody.”
Fox’s comments come one day after he delivered a scathing response on Trump’s plan to make Mexico pay for a wall between the Mexico-U.S. border.
“I’m not going to pay for that f***ing wall,” Fox said in an interview with Fusion’s Jorge Ramos.
Here’s the interview with Jorge Ramos; and note that Donald Trump himself has often used profane language in his public speeches, so Trump’s theatrical demand that Fox “apologize” to him is hypocritical and insulting.
