Mexico’s former President Vincente Fox remains upset with US President Donald Trump:

May 17, 2018

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox issued a cutting rejoinder to President Donald Trump on Wednesday night after Trump angrily called immigrants “animals.”

Fox used Twitter to hit back after Trump’s anti-immigration rant during a White House meeting with California leaders. …

Fox has repeatedly criticized Trump over his campaign promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and force Mexico to pay for it. In April, he promoted a T-shirt portraying Trump as a baby constructing a wall from toy bricks. …

Fox has also previously suggested that mass shootings are “what you get” when such violent and aggressive language comes out from the White House. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/vicente-fox-donald-trump-immigrants-animals_us_5afd373ce4b0779345d6045a

Donald Trump made some comments yesterday:

President Donald Trump on Wednesday portrayed Mexico as a poor ally in a meeting with local California officials devoted to illegal immigration, maintaining that the country “does nothing for us.” …

Kristin Gaspar, a Republican supervisor in San Diego County, said criminals have the luxury of finding sanctuary either “across the border” in Mexico or in California, where she said they are “shielded by Gov. Moonbeam”—a derogatory nickname for California’s Democratic governor, Jerry Brown. Ms. Gaspar is a candidate for the House seat currently held by Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), who is retiring.

Mr. Trump, after listening to her account, asked: “Do you find Mexico helps us or does nothing for us?”

Ms. Gaspar replied that Mexico “does not help with cases like this because it will take years.”

Broadening the issue, Mr. Trump said: “Mexico does nothing for us. They do nothing for us.”

He continued: “Mexico talks but they do nothing for us, especially at the border. They certainly don’t help us much on trade, but especially at the border they do nothing for us.”

At one point, as the discussion turned to gang members, Mr. Trump touted his record in expelling people from the country.

“We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in—and we’re stopping a lot of them—but we’re taking people out of the country,” he said.

“You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are,” Mr. Trump continued. “These aren’t people. These are animals. And we’re taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that’s never happened before.” 05/16/18 https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-says-mexico-does-nothing-for-us-1526516094

Donald Trump continues to make inflammatory statements regarding Mexico.

Sadly, Donald Trump does not seem to appreciate or understand the biblical prophecies related to the USA. Therefore, it is likely that he will continue to take steps that will upset various global leaders not realizing how this will turn out–like he recently did with Europe (see More are seeing Donald Trump causing problems between the USA and Europe: ‘with friends like that (the USA) who needs enemies’).

Donald Trump’s immigration and trade statements have long concerned many in Mexico, as well as many in Europe.

Consider also something that I warned about in 2008:

In the spirit of accommodation and personal interest, many of the “standards” of the European Union will be adopted by the USA, Canada and Mexico, as well as by nearly all of the countries of the world. The Arab nations will most likely agree with many of the standards as they seem to be destined to form a brief end-time alliance with the Europeans (The Arab World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy).

However, over time, it will become increasingly clear that the British will be in more agreement with the Canadians and Americans and that the European Union in more agreement with the Mexicans than the EU will have with the English-speaking nations.

Trade wars and/or serious trade disputes will most likely arise.

The Brits will ultimately decide that they are more supportive of the Americans and Canadians. They will be so much more supportive that they will end up in a trading agreement with them (with the Australians and New Zealanders probably also becoming part of that agreement).

The EU will decide that Mexico and the rest of Latin America are in more agreement with it and thus make some type of serious trading agreement with most (or all) of Latin America. The Vatican will also have influence here as Latin America is highly Roman Catholic.

The Europeans and Americans, however, will continue to have military agreements, though many will be tense about them.

Eventually, the Europeans (possibly under the cover of pretending that they are involved in a “NATO-like” exercise in North America) will eventually launch a surprise attack against the United States in fulfillment of both biblical and Catholic prophecies. The Mexicans will most likely be allied with the Europeans for this to happen. (Thiel B. A Combined EU & North American Trade Block Coming? COGwriter.com, March 3, 2008)

Last month, Mexico did make a trade deal with the Europeans (see EU and Mexico making a trade deal, partially to send Donald Trump a message).

Europe is trying to move to fill in areas where Donald Trump has indicated he wants to change trade terms. This is giving Europe an opportunity that it would not otherwise have. (We have a BNP video related to Europe and trade: Trade Wars: Are COG warnings coming to pass?)

Mexico hopes that it can trade more with Europe and not be subject to the whims of the USA and its current president.

As it turns out, various ones in Mexico have long considered that the USA is an enemy nation.

Many in Mexico believe that the USA improperly took lands ranging from Texas to California and points in-between. They believe that they are entitled to receive that land back. It has been called the “reconquista” (“re-conquering” in English). Interestingly, the Bible teaches that the European King of the North power will takeover the USA and divide its land for gain (Daniel 11:39; see also Will the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?)–Mexico will likely end up with at least some of its claimed lands back this century. And yes, I believe that Mexican troops will one day align with Europe.

I expect that Mexico will end up with at least some of its claimed lands back this century.

The picture at the beginning of this post is from about a decade ago. It was put out by Absolut, a brand of vodka. The hope was to appeal to Mexicans who believe that Mexico is entitled to get lands back that the USA ended up with in the 19th century.

Mexico will get at least some of those lands back after the start of World War III.

Sound preposterous?

First notice that someone else has put together what Mexico would look like if it got its old lands back:

Now, notice the Hispanic population in the USA as put together by Yerevanci with the red line showing old Mexican territories:

Don’t the two look similar?

As far as war goes, consider something that happened a century ago:

April 6, 2017

One hundred years ago today, the United States officially declared war on Germany and entered World War I. Days before the declaration of war, President Woodrow Wilson urged a special joint session of Congress to “formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it.”

Wilson had not wanted to do this. Indeed, he’d won reelection the previous fall as the antiwar candidate, running on the popular slogans “He kept us out of war” and “America First”—appeals to voters who wanted to stay out of a major European war and avoid a simmering conflict with Mexico.

But two events would change everything, and force Americans to accept that they could no longer avoid what had become a global conflict. The first was Germany’s resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare on passenger and merchant ships. The second was the “Zimmerman telegraph,” which revealed Germany’s attempt to forge a secret alliance with Mexico against the United States, promising to help Mexico recover territory it had ceded to the United States following the Mexican-American War in 1848.

Both of these developments, like much of World War I, seem exotic and unimaginable today. A major military power attacking passenger ships with submarines? Mexico invading Texas? It’s easy to think we’ll never face such scenarios again, and we probably won’t face those particular scenarios. But as distant and strange as the First World War seems to us today, the reasons Wilson changed course and declared war hold vital relevance to our national life in the twenty-first century, and we ignore or misunderstand those reasons to our peril. https://thefederalist.com/2017/04/06/americas-reasons-entering-wwi-resonate-today/

I do believe that Mexico will be willing to cooperate with a German-dominated power in Europe to invade the USA. Do not think it cannot happen. Mexico is pivoting towards Europe, while the USA has been pivoting away from both Europe and Mexico.

While in the short-run, the USA can take steps to seriously harm Mexico, it should be clear to all that the USA is seriously risking turning Mexico from an ally into an enemy.

Decades ago, I concluded that Mexico would one-day help the Europeans against the USA.

Statements by US President Trump and reactions from Mexican officials show that day is getting closer.

The final Time of the Gentiles is coming and it will NOT end well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39).
