Former Mexican President Vicente Fox Thinks Donald Trump Resembles Fidel Castro

The former Mexican leader criticized Castro and his brother Raúl as “dictators” during an interview with Fox Business’ Dagen McDowell. Then he launched into a blistering criticism of Trump.

“By the way, that kind of dictatorship, that kind of authoritarian leader, is very similar to Trump,” Fox said. “They lie, they cheat, they are false prophets, they promise many things but they are not going to be able to comply.”

McDowell interrupted Fox to say that comparing Trump to Castro is unacceptable because, she said, the Cuban leader “was a murdering thug who tortured people and imprisoned people.”

She asked Fox to “take back” his statement, but he flatly refused, and repeated his charge that both men “impose their wills” upon their nation’s people.
