Vicente Fox, former President of Mexico, about Trump ... [View all]

I saw Vicente Fox on an interview show yesterday on cable TV.

He said that Trump phoned the current President of Mexico soon after Trump became President,
and that Trump yelled at the Mexican President, saying:

“I’m the leader of the most powerful country in the world and you are going to do what I tell you!”

The Mexican President calmly responded to Trump:
“That’s not how diplomacy works.”

Around the same time Trump called the Mexican President,
news outlets reported Trump also phoned the Australian leader,
and yelled at him.

Last week I heard someone on TV say:
“Trump doesn’t 'do' diplomacy. He’s a bully.”
