Before boasting that he had doubled down on his administration, Trump praised Andrés Manuel López Obrador. “The president of Mexico is a very nice guy. I like him very much. He is a socialist, but I like him. He is one of the socialists that I like,” said the former president.
“I don’t like Nancy Pelosi. I don’t like Schumer. But I like the socialist who heads Mexico. And now they’re going to say: ‘He’s terrible! He’s subversive! He likes the president of Mexico!’ I like are these horrible human beings who are destroying our country,” he added.
Donald Trump and López Obrador met in July 2020 at the White House. At that time, the New York tycoon offered a dinner for the Mexican entourage.
The negotiation that Trump spoke of occurred before the meeting with his Mexican counterpart, in June 2019.
Donald Trump was president of the United States between January 2017 and January 2021. He lost his re-election bid to Joe Biden.
