The former Presidente of Mexico, Vincente Fox, has been trolling President Trump on twitter for about a year now, over that fucking wall.
Somehow Vincente thinks he has a choice when it comes to paying for the wall or not, considering the fact that billions of dollars are wired in from Mexican citizens living in America illegally on an annual basis and the fact that they enjoy a $60b surplus with us. Nevertheless, it makes for good media.

In an CNBC interview today, following the canceled NAFTA meeting between Mexico and the United States over the payment of the proposed wall, Fox said, plainly, that America makes mediocre cars too expensively — which is the reason why the auto industry went broke in 2008.
He posits, slave labor in Mexico is needed by the American auto industry and is the reason why they’re doing so well today.

U.S. automakers can’t compete in the global economy by manufacturing cars in America, former Mexican President Vicente Fox claimed in a CNBC interview on Friday.
“You produce cars in the United States at such a high price and such a mediocre, mediocre quality that you cannot compete, you cannot compete manufacturing in the United States,” Fox asserted in a contentious interview after the Twitter war erupted between President Donald Trump and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
“That’s why Ford, Chrysler, General Motors went broke,” Fox said.
“By joining up the production in Mexico, the United States, and Canada, they are back to business for Chrysler and General Motors,” Fox claimed in the “Squawk Box” appearance.
Without Mexico, ‘you will lose 80% of the market.’
I am sure these words will serve the people of Mexico well, as a vindictive Trump aims to annihilate Mexican industry via the dismantling of NAFTA.
Here’s the consummate statesman, Fox, smashing a Donald Trump piñata.
I don’t think Trump responds well to bullies.
Related: Fox believes Mexican coke is better than American. Damn right it is.
UPDATE: Trump didn’t respond well to bullying.

I take it he’s never seen a Telsa car…
The Mexicans will have Fox’ head on a stake when Trump gets through with them.
Because Mexican automakers are so awesome… ohh wait.
Within 6 months Trump will have alienated himself from the International community as well as both parties. He’ll be a first year lame duck. This isn’t a corporation where you can act like a dictator, he has no ability to compromise.
I think he’ll go James K Polk – do what he promised and not run a 2nd term. He’ll go down saying what he’d do an doing what he said, without giving snowflakes any chance at the satisfaction of voting him out.
The ‘international community’ of globalist shills. You’re exactly right. Change is coming.
In a dictatorship change would be coming. In a democracy where you have a minority support he’s a lame duck.
Have you ever spent any time outside of the US? These views are typical of xenophobic nationalists that live in a bubble.
Fucking leave then. You whiny little bastards. Look here. The voting fraud WILL be exposed and measures WILL be taken to end it.. Then you pussy hat wearing morons will have true representation. 25%. You are the fucking minority.
If the guy were to somehow start arresting members of the House or Senate, then I’ll start worrying about a dictatorship. Otherwise, everybody calm down. Nothing wrong with revisiting everything that’s happened over the past 50 years. Hell, Home Depot does line reviews often and its suppliers scramble to be prepared, why can’t the Federal Government. Why SHOULDN’T the Federal Government?
Bottom line, by nature, people will try to get away with whatever they can until challenged. And when challenged and changed, we whine like the sky is falling because our norm is being revamped. Exactly what is happening now, from Trump to snowflakes.
Mexico will be back to making the 1rst gen VW beetle again very soon..
Saying goodbye to the UNITED would be a good start. Good piece of real estate to put back on the tax rolls
The “winner” is the sorest loser: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-pressured-park-service-to-back-up-his-claims-about-inauguration-crowd/2017/01/26/12a38cb8-e3fc-11e6-ba11-63c4b4fb5a63_story.html?utm_term=.04e4db3d89ba
Keep talking Mr Fox. Every word out of your mouth = 100 more Trump supporters.
Ford went broke? I don’t recall a Ford bail out? Correct me if I am wrong.
The Mexican economy will collapse hard via the combination of a severely hampered drug trade/export to USA, import taxes on legal goods coming into the USA, hampered Mexican citizen exportation of USD into Mexico, withdrawal of USA factories, and probably more. Couple that with any sort of global economic difficulty… economic disaster.
That being said, I really appreciate all Mexican citizens do for the US economy. I also like learning about the history, native culture, food/drink, and more. I would be sad if things deteriorated with Mexico.
There will be exponential increase in the drug trade. They don’t do borders. They just dig a little deeper.
