Calderon added that Trump’s discourse was “sowing hate” against the United States around the world and that was “not in Washington’s interest”.
Mexicans view Trump as poison who will do substantial damage to U.S. - Mexico relations.
even if the border wall is never built, many in Mexico fear that Trump’s comments about the country will result in a more draconian US border policy, threatening to derail two decades of closer ties and economic integration brought about by the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Veep Joe Biden apologized for Trump this week:
Speaking during a visit to Mexico City, Biden told President Enrique Pena Nieto that there has been "a lot of damaging and incredibly inaccurate rhetoric" in the US election, but that most Americans do not share those views.
"I feel almost obliged to apologize for some of what my political colleagues have said about Mexico, about the Mexican people," he said.
..."It's a heated campaign season and I just want you to know, Mr. President, that the most heated of the rhetoric you've heard from some of the competitors for the nomination for president is not who we are as the American people."
Biden told them the U.S. has beaten back this kind of "xenophobia" before.
"This too shall pass ... We have gone through these episodes of xenophobia but they have always been overcome," he said.
If you agree with them, please watch your language in comments. Do not call Trump a racist, white supremacist or other potentially libelous term.
