Former President of Mexico Vicente Fox is bashing Donald Trump’s visit with Mexico’s current President Enrique Peña Nieto, ahead of the Republican nominee’s speech on immigration in Pheonix, Arizona.
“I don’t understand what’s going on here, and I really apologize for our president taking this step forward,” Fox stated, expressing criticism of Nieto for agreeing to Trump’s visit to Mexico. “I really expect from him, as all 130 million Mexicans, all of our great brother Mexicans in the United States, an explanation from both, from President Peña and Trump himself.”
Trump reacted to Fox’s criticism on Twitter Wednesday morning, pointing out that Fox had previously invited Trump to Mexico in May.

Former President Vicente Fox, who is railing against my visit to Mexico today, also invited me when he apologized for using the "f bomb."

During an interview with Breitbart News roughly three months ago in California, Fox extended an invitation to Trump to visit Mexico after he apologized for using vulgar language against Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the southern border.
“I apologize. Forgiveness is one of the greatest qualities that human beings have, is the quality of a compassionate leader. You have to be humble. You have to be compassionate. You have to love thy neighbor,” Fox stated in May during an interview with Breitbart News at the J.W. Marriott in Santa Monica, California.
“I don’t think he should follow the strategy of attacking others, offending others, to get to his purpose. There are other ways and means of doing it,” Fox stated at the time. “I invite him to come to Mexico and to see what Mexico is all about.”

Hillary Clinton Dismisses Donald Trump Mexico Visit As A ‘Photo Op’

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton criticized her rival Donald Trump for visiting Mexico today, suggesting that it was a “photo op” that lacked genuine leadership.
Citing her experience as Secretary of State, Clinton assured the audience of veterans that she had experience in the “slow hard work” of diplomacy that was required and did “more than a photo op.”
She alluded to Trump’s history of insulting Mexico for over a year, after announcing his run for president.
“People have to get to know that they can count on you, that you won’t say one thing one day and something totally different the next,” she said. “And it certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again.”
Clinton who has repeatedly boasted of her miles traveled as Secretary of State, disapproved of Trump’s decision.
“That is not how it works,” she said, after she was over a half an hour late for her speech.
Clinton cited her experience as a Senator during 9/11, and serving as Secretary of State for President Barack Obama during the Seal Team 6 raid on Osama bin Laden. She did not mention, however, her experience on the day of the Benghazi attacks or the disappointing results of the situation in Libya.
