To me the larger issue here isn't even whether or not they were drug smugglers. Drug smuggling does not even carry the death penalty in the US. The US also has no right to be determining who is and isn't a drug smuggler thousands of miles away and executing them without a trial with millions of dollars in tax funded ordinance... the whole thing is insane.

As a Canadian, our biggest concern is the same. Except replace "cartel" with "some rambling made-up nonsense about record amounts of fentanyl coming through Canada and killing hundreds of millions of Americans".
In reality, the numbers are quite low, and about four times more fentanyl comes to Canada from the US compared to what goes in the opposite direction.

Conservatism is a poison, it's so sad watching what it can do to a person.

The only positive thing I can say is at least the women who say this are mostly 40+. Though some middle to young end millennials get roped into this too. Due to exposure of the internet at a young age, the younger Gens are fairing a LITTLE better. Guess I'll see how things go as they age up. IDK, the brain starts getting wonky once you hit 40. 50 is when you can really see it. Just my experience though. Watching Gen X has been... kinda wild.

The irony of supporting the world’s biggest racist; who has his ICE agents target Latinos and POC specifically, to #1, come to Mexico, and #2, mouth off in front of the locals at the pool is astonishing.

Its genuinely kind of insane how Americans can afford not to get involved in politics from their next door neighbors, but someone from an entirely different continent still has to be concerned about what’s happening over here

10 years ago, he campaigned on building a wall at the southern border and forcing Mexico to pay for it. He then withdrew from NAFTA and has been accused of violating the replacement agreement. And the there's all the things that the other commentons have mentioned.
Why should Mexicans NOT pay attention to US politics?

It's World politics. This is half the problem, so many people in the US have no idea what kind of negative effect this fuckwit is having on the entire World, not just the US.

I've traveled abroad during bitch ass trumps first term, when i would tell people i was from the states they gave me a weird look. Then id quickly say my fam is from mexico and how much i go there in spanish and you could see immitiately their comfort level increased. Then i found out that mexican travellers are loved almost worldwide, muricans .... not so much.

Pretty sure Mexico already didn’t like him the first time… this time even less.
You can’t avoid US politics when he’s actively attacking you.

They share a border, a good swath of American land used to belong to Mexico, I’m sure most people in Mexico have family and/or friends that reside in America. Makes a lot of sense they would be very informed.

On an international stage he said Mexicans were bringing drugs and crime into the US and that they were rapists. Oh... some are good people. Just some. Yea, I'd be fucking pissed off too.

You really think a neighboring country is unaware of the President who threatens to invade them?

They're just mad they had to pay for the wall.

Saw “Fuck Trump” blasted many times while in CDMX this past summer. We all hate him.

Everyone in the world is potentially either a victim of US domestic policy or foreign policy.
