Bernal’s political two-fer, and his Golden Globe-winning work on Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle, have given the Guadalajara actor, filmmaker, and activist ample opportunity to ponder and sound off on the state of U.S.-Mexico relations. “I am concerned,” said Bernal, who was named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People this year. “But at the same time, knowing that for a country so huge and culturally so massive like Mexico, combined with the United States—the amount of people, the families that are interlinked between the United States and Mexico culturally and economically... with the amount of that dimension that these countries represent, Donald Trump doesn’t exist, really.”

He smiled optimistically. “It is irrelevant.”

It is far bigger, the unity that exists, than what somebody can do as a president. The only problem is that his discourse can create problems, of course. It can create the empowerment of certain people that feel that they have to take matters into their own hands, and that’s really the problem. That’s what Desierto really exemplifies.”
“But really, I would say that for the history of the world, even more,” he lowered his voice, smiling. “Donald Trump doesn’t exist.”
