Vicente Fox: Trump at GOP Retreat reminded me of Hitler addressing the Nazi Party



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/former-mexican-president-trump-addressing-gop-was-like-watching-hitler-address-the-nazi-party/

Fox explained that at no time in recent history has the relationship between the United States and the country to its south been so sour. He suggested that it was perhaps 50 years ago that the Mexico had differing opinions with the United Nations but over 100 years since the U.S. and Mexico had an unstable relationship.

“When I saw today’s gathering of the Republican Party retreat, Trump being there reminded me of Hitler addressing the Nazi Party,” Fox told CNN International. “I think it’s important to remind Congressmen with the Republican Party that fall on their responsibilities —”

It was then that the CNN International host stopped former President Fox to clarify if he actually was comparing Trump to Hitler.

“Not in that sense,” Fox clarified. “I am comparing him in the sense of the way he’s a populist, of everything that he said is pure populism, making America first. Number two, that he says jobs for everybody, what he says, business for everybody. I mean, his declarations, his creeds and his executive orders. Yes, I want to remind a Congressman is obliged with this free conscious to make decisions he doesn’t have to accept, but this guy is important to them.”

he was just on BBC on PBS. He said that if DT builds the wall, it will be paid for by passing the tax along to U.S. citizens. And he said that Mexico would then put a 20% tax on their imports from the U.S. as well. A trade war hurts everyone, he said. Mexico would probably pull out of NAFTA. What will DT say when that happens?

Jobs in the U.S. would be lost rather than gained. He said if DT wants to stupidly build a wall, let him--none of their business!
