Vicente Fox, Mexico’s former president, has stepped up his attack on Republican Donald Trump, warning that his election will return “the ugly American” and turn Mexicans on “gringos.”
In a Secrets interview, the former leader who is helping Democrats win the votes of Latin Americans and Mexicans in the United States, said that a Trump election will lead to “hate for America” in the region. He also called Trump’s supporters lazy, TV watching, beer drinkers.
“Let’s forget about the ‘ugly American’ that we learned, that we knew, in the last century. We don’t want that back, the ‘ugly American.’ We don’t want back again the hate the ‘Gringo,'” he said.
“And this guy, it’s exactly what it’s promoting: Hate for the gringo, and hate for him, and hate for America,” added Fox.
