Both men, who have a lot in common, have been attacking each other with their characteristic loud tones.

Former Mexican president Vicente Fox has being slamming Donald Trump on Twitter in his latest rage against the U.S. billionaire and his outrageous plans against Mexico.

Both men have been attacking each other with their characteristic loud tones. They have a lot in common, especially when comparing Trump’s campaign with the one Fox ran when he won the presidency in 2000.

Fox began his media campaign against Trump after the U.S. presidential hopeful said Mexico was bringing drugs, crime, and their rapists into the U.S.

Mexico’s former right-wing president was outraged when Trump said that he will build a wall between Mexico and the United States, and force Mexico to pay it. 

Fox has called  the real estate mogul “Ignorant, crazy, egocentric, nasty false prophet.”

Millions of Mexicans around the world have also expressed their disgust with Trump, but according to some analysts Vicente Fox is waging this war solely for his own benefit. 

The politician runs the “Vicente Fox Center of Studies, Library and Museum,” considered by many as a political tool, not just a hobby for the former president. 

Other Mexican politicians, including President Enrique Peña Nieto, have slammed Trump’s rhetoric and compared it to that of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
