Today, Super Deluxe released a video featuring none other than Donald Trump‘s chief international troll, Vicente Fox.

"If you want to test a man's character, give him power" – Abraham Lincoln. This is the quote the United States must now live by because of the choice they have made. Donald Trump's character will not only be tested, but will serve as a boost for his egocentric and megalomaniac ideas that will take his "beloved nation" to the ground. It's a shame that the US couldn't look beyond that dreadful idea of a wall that hasn't been built yet. The real problem is the illness that Trump has spread all across the country, a disease of fear and...

Two former Mexican presidents said in separate interviews with The Washington Post that the xenophobic rhetoric of Donald Trump and the other Republicans running for president has damaged U.S.-Mexico relations and changed the way many Mexicans view Americans. Noting Trump’s recent disagreement with Pope Francis over the proposed border wall, Fox said, “I think the Republican Party should demand from him respect, not only for the Mexicans but for the pope and for Muslims. The Republican Party has let this go too far. It’s ridiculous.” Fox said he had been speaking with Republicans in the United States. "They are telling...

Fox,...

Once again a familiar pattern emerges, one that has occurred many times before especially after a disasterous election result for the party in question. Case in point the Republican Party which had its asses handed to them in the last federal election wherein Republicans across the board were slaughtered, not because the Republican constituency suddenly embraced liberal ideology and rejected conservatives values and principles, but because Republicans in positions of power did. Thus they were rewarded with a withdrawl of support which greatly contributed to their defeat. The crystal clear lessons of the elections of 2006, instead of being a...

I tend to avoid the immigration debate, which, for various reasons that agitate some of my conservative friends, does not get me riled up. Nonetheless, in the context of this debate, the Mexican leadership continues to make an outrageous analogy, one that needs to be answered. Both the previous Mexican president, Vicente Fox, and the new one, Felipe Calderon, have compared the U.S. decision to construct an additional 700 miles of border fencing—authorized in October by a Senate bill signed by President George W. Bush—to the decision to build the Berlin Wall. Fox called the move an “embarrassment for the...
