The Presidents of Mexico and the United States had their first telephone conversation on January 23. According to press reports, Joe Biden started the dialogue by pointing out with amusement that he was not Donald Trump, to which Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) seriously replied that he had a great relationship with the former president and tycoon of New York.
The anecdote confirms what we already knew: AMLO was a secret Trumpist in the US election. Some explain the tabasqueño’s affinity with Trump, pointing out that they are political soul mates. They are not wrong. Both are populists, demagogues, rioters and despise science and intellectual elites.
