Former Mexican President Vicente Fox spreads global capitalism in his “own way”
According to the Observer, former Mexican president Vicente Fox has embraced a strange political afterlife in the age of Trump.
“What are we going to talk about?” The former president of Mexico boomed in khakis and a loose button-down, his baritone reverberating across a conference room at SoHo’s Public Hotel.

But first, I had to find out why a retired world leader was collaborating with a YouTube publisher that creates videos with titles like, “Bird Poop Facial and Bull Semen Hair Treatment.”
That outfit is Super Deluxe, a startup peddling provocative content guzzled by hipsters and quirksters—the same company behind YouTube satirist Vic Bergerand DIY guides to stitching pubic underwear. After trolling then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 election—boasting frequently on cable networksand Twitter that Mexico would “never pay for the fucken wall”—Fox partnered with the organization to appear in a string of bizarro promos.
