Former Mexican President: We’re ‘Not Paying For That F*cking Wall’

Former Mexican President Vincente Fox had a blunt and vulgar take on Donald Trump‘s promise to get Mexico to pay for a border wall.

“I declare, I’m not going to pay for that fucking wall!” Fox told Fusion’s Jorge Ramos in an English interview. “He should pay for it. He’s got the money.”

“Are you afraid that he’s going to be the next President of the United States?” Ramos asked. “What would that mean for Mexico?”

“Not at all,” he responded. “Democracy can not take that, crazy people that [don’t] know what is going on in the world today.”

Fox said he was worried about the high percentage of the Hispanic vote Trump received in the Nevada caucus. “I’d like to know who those Hispanics are, because again, they are followers of a false prophet,” he said.

“They must open their eyes,” he pleaded. “Please, you Hispanics, Latins in the U.S., open your eyes.”
