MEXICO CITY — Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico,
was recently stuck in Mexico City traffic, overcome with frustration —
not by the congestion, but by something that was irritating him even
more: Donald J. Trump. He grabbed his phone, turned the lens on himself and pressed record.
“Ha! Donald,” Mr. Fox said, holding the phone perhaps a little too close to his face. “What about your apologies to Mexico, to Mexicans in the United States, to Mexicans in Mexico?”
In short order, the 15-second clip
was on Mr. Fox’s Twitter feed — another salvo in a personal campaign
against the American presidential candidate that has included television
appearances, radio interviews and a fusillade of hectoring Twitter
posts.
Mr.
Fox’s voice is among a growing, if uncoordinated, chorus of influential
Mexicans worried about what a Trump victory could mean for the complex
relationship between the United States and Mexico — not to mention the
impact Mr. Trump’s presidential bid may have already had.
The
voices have included at least two former Mexican presidents, top
government officials, political analysts, academics, editorial writers
and cultural figures.
