Former Mexican President Vicente Fox to Trump: “Stop Lying!”

Trump’s Mexican stunt
Politics • Views: 51,111

By now I assume you’ve heard that the Republican Party’s alt-right presidential candidate is on his way to Mexico for a meeting with President Enrique Peña Nieto.

You may recall that back in March, Nieto likened Trump to Hitler and Mussolini. And Donald Trump has been emitting a steady stream of anti-Hispanic bigotry from the very start of his campaign.

So this ought to be… interesting. Josh Marshall thinks it’s going to be an outright shitshow, and the Mexican press and public are absolutely furious, which isn’t surprising.

And former Mexican president Vicente Fox had some words for Trump on Twitter this morning as well.

Will it be boring and bland, or will there be fireworks between Nieto and Trump? Only time will tell, but given the reaction in Mexico to Trump’s visit, Nieto has to be feeling some pressure to give Trump hell. And Trump has to look like a tough guy for his crazed Breitbart audience and his own egomania. So even though I know this a stunt born out of desperation, I’ll be watching.

The weirdness continues, as word leaks out that Trump isn’t taking any of his usual media camp followers along.
