Mexico’s ex-president Vicente Fox blasts Donald Trump’s plan to make Mexico pay for a wall to be built on the border
Fox brands Trump's planned 'Great Wall ' a 'racist monument' in scathing attack
MEXICO'S former president Vicente Fox has struck out at Donald Trump saying his country will not pay for that "f****** wall".
Fox took to Twitter, a platform Trump is notorious for using to stir up trouble, to slam his plans for the "racist monument".
During his controversial presidential campaign Trump promised to build a wall along the Mexico-US border.
He promised his rowdy crowds of supporters that he would "make Mexico pay for it".
Trump has reportedly announced he will hold talks to decide the best way to move forward with the plan.
Vicente Fox ranted on Twitter about the proposal and posted his first tweet at 3.33am on January 6 and his final tweet at 10.44pm.

He wrote: "Trump may ask whoever he wants, but still neither myself nor Mexico are going to pay for this racist monument.
"Another promise he can't keep."
Later he wrote: "TRUMP, when you understand that I am not paying for that f******* wall. Be clear with US tax payers.
"They will pay for it."
Earlier that day Trump appeared to suggest that the US will pay to build the wall "for the sake of speed" and will be refunded by Mexico at a later date.
He tweeted: "The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later."
His final tweet read: "Sr Trump, the intelligence report is devastating.
"Losing election by more than 3M votes and in addition this (sic).
"Are you a legitimate president?"
In February Fox dropped the F-bomb an interview on Fox News when discussing Trump's plans for the wall.
He said: "I'm not paying for that f******* wall. I am not and he should know that.
"I am not going to apologise - on the contrary."
