Mexican President Warns Of War If "Gringo" Trump Wins The White HouseSource: Zero Hedge (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-15/mexican-president-warns-war-if-gringo-trump-wins-white-house)

Donald Trump certainly knows how to manipulate the media and ruffle some feathers in order to get a reaction (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-14/trump-may-have-just-played-entire-media-universe-fools-again), this we know. Trump's plan to build a wall on the Mexican border doesn't need to be rehashed here, but one person who has let Trump's rhetoric on the subject get under his skin is former Mexican president Vicente Fox.
Fox has been on an emotional roller coaster ever since Trump started in with his criticisms of Mexico.
Initially, Fox took to the airwaves to let everyone know that the wall Trump has said Mexico will pay for, ya, he's not going to be paying for that.

"I declare, I'm not going to pay for that f*cking wall"


As Ben Mathis from Kickass Politics writes (http://www.kickasspolitics.com/#%21EP-82-Vicente-Fox-on-Trump-Trade-That-Fing-Wall/c95u/573241410cf2eac0f51fda1a):

"in his frankest interview yet, former Mexican President Vicente Fox pulls no punches about the man he calls a "false prophet." It was recorded the same week as his apology to Donald Trump, and President Fox strike a very different tone, doubling down on "I'm not going to pay for the f_cking wall" and adding "and please don’t take out the f_cking full word." Vicente Fox compares the man he calls the "hated gringo" and "ugly American" to Latin American dictators like Hugo Chavez and Juan Peron. He also warns that if Trump starts a trade war, then Mexico could retaliate by stopping or limiting money transfers and remittances for US corporations and American tourists in Mexico. Because as Vicente Fox says "Don’t play around with us, we can jump walls, we can swim rivers, & we can defend ourselves." And he warns that if Trump becomes President, he "could take us to a war, not just a trade war."
At one point, Fox went as far as to warn Trump not to play around with Mexicans, and that if the rhetoric keeps up it could literally lead to war.

"We're coming back to the era of the ugly American. The gringo was hated all around the world, and this guy pretty soon he got the title. He is the ugly American, he is the hated gringo, because he's attacking all of us, he's offending all of us. Imagine, I mean that could take us to a war. Not to a trade war."
"Don't play around with us, we can jump walls, we can swim rivers, we can defend ourselves."


After all of the venting, Fox then softened a bit, and issued an apology in an interview with Breitbart.



"I'm humble enough, as leaders should be, compassionate leader, if I offended you I'm sorry. But what about the other way around."

While Vicente Fox may not be indicative of how all world leaders would react to a President Trump, it is safe to say that every single day would be an adventure in the geopolitical arena if and when the former reality tv star (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-14/trump-may-have-just-played-entire-media-universe-fools-again) and media hungry businessman (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08-07/guest-post-donald-trump-broke) becomes the next President of the United States.

He's smart enough to figure out how Trump is going to force Mexico to pay for the wall. Shortly after the wall is built I hope deportations start in mass.

What's he going to do, hurl tacos and sombreros at us?

A war with Mexico is not desirable but would make a lot more sense than any war I have seen the US involved in during the last 60 years.

What's he going to do, hurl tacos and sombreros at us?

That's what I was going to say......get ready to get bombed with a rain of tacos mounted on burritos.

What's he going to do, hurl tacos and sombreros at us?

They'll help flood our country with illegal drugs...oh wait, they're already doing that...I guess they'll double their efforts

I could think of worse things then a war with Mexico.
How would it play out?...US troops would be brought to the border permanently. All Illegals would have to be rounded up and put in internment camps, or be deported. Americans would turn on Mexican's in the US and help round them up for the military. Bodies of Mexican gang members would start piling up everywhere.

Now that I think of it...Bring it on!

[Spectrism]

A big shooting war with Mexico would do alot of good. The corrupt government and the drug cartels could be wiped out in one shot. And we could finally get some returns on our losses from the illegals. All costs would be covered by silver and gold mines, oil fields and a heavy tax on the resort tourist areas- which would then become safe. The Mexicans aren't the first ones there... and they need not be the last.

[Ponce]

Maybe they can come into the US as the Cubans do with the dry foot law?.....but their back would still be wet........ayyyyyy mama I am now so confuse.
