Mexico’s former president has a couple of choice words and a whole lot of shade for President-elect Donald Trump.

Taking to Twitter on Friday, Vicente Fox, who led the country from 2000 to 2006, emphasized that neither himself, nor his country, would pay for Trump’s proposed border wall.

“TRUMP, when will you understand that I am not paying for that (expletive) wall,” tweeted Fox. “Be clear with US tax payers. They will pay for it.”

Earlier on Friday, Trump used the 140-character platform to say that “any money spent on building the Great Wall” would be paid back by Mexico at a later date. On Thursday, media reports claimed that Trump was planning on asking Congress for the money. His tweet appears to confirm it.

1. Que viva Presidente Fox! Someone has to tell it like it is. Our Republican congress

and inert media can't, so why not other world leaders?

3. Sorry, Vincente. Republicans do not do reality, or responsibility

Of course Comrade Trump & Republican cronies are going to stick US taxpayers with the bill for this massive boondoggle. You know it, and they know it. But they will never tell the American people the truth until they are - with a mean-spirited glint in their eyes, as usual - shoving up the US taxpayer's wazoo.

4. Funny now I am using that exact word

"COMRade" for Trump and all his current followers and fans.
