We Cannot Work with 'Crazy Guy' Trump, Says Former Mexican President Fox Jo Tuckman - VICE News
go to original August 19, 2016

Former president Vicente Fox has urged the current Mexican government to make it clear that a Donald Trump presidency would be unacceptable to Mexico.

"You cannot work with a crazy guy," Fox said of the Republican presidential nominee.

In an interview at his ranch-turned-presidential library in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, Fox added that reasons of "political correctness" were not enough to persuade him of the need to "accept as my neighbor country's president a crazy guy."

The former leader's comments directly challenged the recent softening of the current Mexican government's tone on Trump.

During a visit to the White House last month, President Enrique Peña Nieto denied he had ever compared the candidate to Hitler and Mussolini — something which he had done in March.

"I can't agree with some of things he has said, but I will be absolutely respectful and will seek to work with whomever becomes the next president of the United States," Peña Nieto underlined his new position in an interview on the Televisa network broadcast this Tuesday. The president also said he would be happy to meet with the candidate.

Fox, meanwhile, has made it clear he wants to remain one of the loudest critics of Trump, and his pledge to build "a beautiful wall" along the 2,000-mile long border between the US and Mexico, and to make Mexico pay for it.

In one interview in February, the 74-year-old Fox pronounced, "I'm not going to pay for that fucking wall."

The former president has also maintained a steady anti-Trump tirade on his Twitter account. This has ranged from highlighting Made in Mexico labels in Trump suits to announcing he had not invited the candidate to his wife's birthday celebration in Cancún.
