Mexican Officials Take Steps to Counter ‘the Trump Emergency’
The New York Times ^ | May 22, 2016 | Kirk Semple

MEXICO CITY — Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico, was recently stuck in Mexico City traffic, overcome with frustration — not by the congestion, but by something that was irritating him even more: Donald J. Trump. He grabbed his phone, turned the lens on himself and pressed record.

“Ha! Donald,” Mr. Fox said, holding the phone perhaps a little too close to his face. “What about your apologies to Mexico, to Mexicans in the United States, to Mexicans in Mexico?”

In short order, the 15-second clip was on Mr. Fox’s Twitter feed — another salvo in a personal campaign against the American presidential candidate that has included television appearances, radio interviews and a fusillade of hectoring Twitter posts.

Mr. Fox’s voice is among a growing, if uncoordinated, chorus of influential Mexicans worried about what a Trump victory could mean for the complex relationship between the United States and Mexico — not to mention the impact Mr. Trump’s presidential bid may have already had....

I don’t think it’s possible for me to express how little I care what the former president of Mexico thinks about Mr Trump

I was born and raised on the Mexican border, and I consider myself very fortunate to have lived most of my life away from there. I never have and never will regard Mexico as anything but a huge overflowing toilet.

from the article “The two countries are now enjoying one of the more harmonious periods in a turbulent history”

You sure could have fooled me

I see your protesters out in the streets, if that’s harmonious...

Oh, you mean the globalist leaders are having a harmonious period? That makes sense. Guess what? That’s about to end.

Go Trump!

Obviously the narcoterrorists who murder tens of thousands of Mexicans a year are not a big enough problem for them.

Too bad that Mr Fox doesn’t see fit to do some public service to help his fellow man.There’s a lot of minefields in Somalia that need to be cleared.

"Mexican Officials Take Steps to Counter ‘the Trump Emergency’

Steps like sending millions more invaders to sneak in in a hurry, and providing them with a good set of fake documents?

Having Mexican Government Employees painting anti-trump graffiti as illustrated in article and posting tweets ain't gonna put money in Nieto's and Fox's pockets.

I'm sure that if I expressed what I thought of Mexico, it's people and it's government right now, not only would JimRob kick me permanently off this board, the SS would be at my door, and there wouldn't be enough money in the world to bail me out...

So that expresses what I think...

Too bad Mexican officials don’t clean out their own backyard and stop worrying about the attitude of Trump. The tourism business used to provide them with a lot of money, not so much any more. Why don’t they clean out the corruption in their country and maybe they’d be more prosperous.

I have nothing but respect for legal Mexicans. I have nothing but disgust for illegal aliens.

Boy Fox is really afraid that the U.S is about to kill their inbound money pipeline big time isn’t he? All that tax free-money coming in to Mexico to be spent to suppport their economy and millions of Mexican moving back into Mexico and procreating their ountey in complete bankruptcy must be keeping him up at night. And all that drug money revenue he will lose must be driving him batship crazy...

Where is Mexico’s apology for all of the benefits stolen, crimes committed, Americans killed by its citizens who broke into our country?

Does the country of Mexico even exist anymore ? These Mexican elites seem more concerned about the US election than Mexico’s.

Let’s see, close the border and force Mexicans to deal with their government instead of wimping out and running tail to the US.
