Mexicans back ex-President Fox in vulgar spat with Trump

Feb 28, 2016, 12:11

"I am not going to pay for that f--ing wall", Fox exclaimed as a shocked Bartiromo looked on. "He should pay for it. He's got the money", Mexico's former leader said.

Trump responded, "I will and the wall just got 10 feet taller believe me".

During Thursday's Republican presidential debate, Wolf Blitzer quoted Fox's f-bomb and then asked Trump how he would still intend to pay for the wall without Mexico's help and how he would make them pay for it.

Bartiromo interjected, "Which is why [Trump] thinks he's going to be successful and Mexico is going to pay for the wall because he knows Mexico needs the USA when it comes to trade, just the way the United States needs Mexico".

Meanwhile, Syrian Kurdish YPG militia said ISIS fighters had attacked Tal Abyad, a town near the Turkish border. Fighting between the YPG and Islamic State continued in Raqqa province, the Observatory said.

Trump has demanded an apology from Fox for his profanity, both on Twitter and during the GOP presidential debate in Houston, Texas. "Only I can use bad manners and bad words!"

Fox also said the USA needs a compassionate president.

TRUMP: "He said I was in favor of Libya?" I can only tell you if I would have used even half of that word, it would be a national scandal.

He predicted the US would "fail if it goes into the hands of a insane guy". Trump, who is known for his profane-filled campaign speeches, estimated that the wall would cost around $8 billion.

The Real Clear Politics average of opinion polls taken February 10-25 put her ahead of her last remaining rival, Vermont Sen. She won 9 of every 10 black voters, as well as women, men, urban, suburban, rural, very liberal and conservative voters.

"I will invite this guy to withdraw from the race, to go back to his business and [forget] about what is a nation, what is a presidency of a nation, what is microeconomics", Fox told Fox Business Network on Friday.

"I feel nearly obliged to apologise for some of what my political colleagues have said; it is about Mexico - about the Mexican people", the VP said in a press conference with current Mexican president, Enrique Peña Nieto, on Thursday. You're talking about a border that would be about four times longer, " Trump said.

While there are an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, not almost that many broke the law when they crossed the border.

Donald Trump is displaying a spotty memory about his past views on foreign policy.

Authorities found the bodies of the four in a different structure from where the gunman was during negotiations, the sheriff said. The Mason County sheriff's office is reporting a shooting outside of Belfair in Mason County.

"I'd like to know who those Hispanics are", Fox added, noting that they could be "followers of a false prophet" who is neither a Republican nor a Democrat, but an "egocentric" man.
