The Former Mexican President Has More Harsh Words For Trump

The Former Mexican President Has More Harsh Words For Trump
LAUREN HOLTER
JUNE 9, 2017, 2:45 PM

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox has not shied away from telling President Trump what's really on his mind. Ever since Trump proposed the U.S. build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and suggested our southern neighbor pay for it, Fox has bashed the plan and called on Americans to condemn Trump's racist descriptions of Mexicans (you know, like calling them rapists and criminals). Now, the former Mexican leader has a clear message for the U.S. president: "Mexico will not pay for the fucken [sic] wall."

In a Super Deluxe video, Fox speaks openly and candidly to Trump. "Halo, Donald," he begins. "It is me, Vicente, coming to you from Mexico, where the best taco bowls are made."

Fox is mocking a photo Trump posted for Cinco de Mayo last year, where the then-presidential candidate posed with a Trump Tower Grill taco bowl, giving a thumb's up. In the video, Fox has his own taco bowl in front of him, saying, "Actually, these are shit. They are not even Mexican. Why is the bowl made out of tortilla? Just eat a fucken [sic] taco."

Throughout the video, Fox roasts Trump hard, referring to him as "the current president of the Electoral College of the United States."

those taco bowls you'd never eat one or anything out of one. They stack them, unwwrapped, on any convenient surface along with other dishes/pots and pans in the chef's area. If the stack gets knocked over it is put back up. They are left out at night, ready to be used the next day, and replenished only when the stack runs out. They don't considered them food items.

It made me smile when I saw the pic of him eating his taco bowl.

It is just one of the disgusting things I learned while doing my youthful restaurant stint.
