The Hill: Ex-Mexican president: Trump 'doesn't deserve' his wealth

By Mark Hensch, Jul. 9, 2015, The Hill

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox says that 2016 GOP contender Donald Trump "doesn't deserve" his fortune, questioning how the billionaire found business success.

“I don’t know how he’s made so much money. He doesn’t deserve it,” Fox told TMZ on Wednesday in remarks translated from Spanish.

“He’s acted like an idiot," he continued about Trump's views on Hispanic immigrants. “As a man of business to another man of business, he has made a mistake, a very stupid mistake."

Trump sharply criticized illegal immigrants and Mexico during his formal campaign launch last month in New York. Critics have called his rhetoric insensitive and racist toward the Hispanic community.

Trump's remarks led to a number of businesses cutting ties to the real estate mogul. Fox suggested Wednesday evening that Trump should do more to make up for his remarks.

“As punishment he should donate all that money to resolve the immigration problem,” he said.

Fox also called the White House hopeful ignorant about Mexico and its culture.
