TWEETS: Former Mexico President emphatically and hilariously states that Mexico will not pay for border wall

That hashtag though…

Earlier today, Donald Trump signed two executive orders during a visit to the Department of Homeland Security headquarters, that would direct the organisation to build the wall along the US/Mexico border, increase the number of border patrol agents and increase the deportation of immigrants.

He also stated that while the American taxpayers will have to foot the bill to build the wall, but guaranteed that in time Mexico would “100%” reimburse them.

But, that will NOT be the case according to former President of Mexico Vicente Fox Quesada, who took to Twitter on Wednesday to vent his feelings on the subject.

He tweeted: Sean Spicer, I’ve said this to and now I’ll tell you: Mexico is not going to pay for that fucking wall.

Vicente Fox was President of Mexico from 2000 to 2006 under the National Action Party. It’s not his first time to attack Trump on Twitter.

The former president is best known for his campaign to legalise marijuana in Mexico but one of his favourite pastimes nowadays is to take down Donald Trump on Twitter at every available opportunity.

Current President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto has come under scrutiny in recent times over his relationship with Donald Trump with many accusing him of cosying up to the new American President.

There have been protests in Mexico recently with members of the public calling for Nieto’s resignation.
