In #TercerGrado, I described what I believe is the fundamental characteristic of contemporary Trumpism 👇

The tariffs imposed by Trump have increased the cost of 45% of U.S. imports.

This represents a massive blow to the country’s economy.

Saturday was a very special day because I had the chance to visit the Sándor Márai Bookstore to talk about Así no es and No es normal.

Thank you to Carlos Pérez Ricart and Vanessa Romero Rocha for gifting us this beautiful space for discussion and gathering in Mexico City 💕💕💕

This is what American plutocracy 🇺🇸 looks like. The incredible thing is that in Mexico 🇲🇽 it has been this way for decades.

On Milenio TV, I was asked if anyone or anything could counterbalance Trump besides China.

I believe so, and this is what I answered 👇

The victimization narrative with which Trump presents the USA does not go unnoticed. 🇺🇸

As a weak country that has lost its exceptional character and is being abused by the rest of the world.

And Trump comes to the rescue. #Inauguration2025

Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America. 🇺🇸

He frames it as the day of liberation, the beginning of a golden era, and the end of America’s decline.

On Tercer Grado, I explained the two reasons why Claudia Sheinbaum has become one of the most popular presidents in Mexico's history and why, once again, the opposition got it wrong 👇

Full details here:

Opposition analysts tried to harm Mexico's President, C. Sheinbaum, by calling her a puppet of the former president, but instead, they absolved her of Morena's mistakes and boosted her popularity. Now, even the opposition barely disapproves of her. 🤡

In #TercerGrado, I shared 3 key points that Trump seems to misunderstand about Mexico. 😵‍💫👇

On #TercerGrado, it was said that when there are no deaths, it’s because the fight against drug trafficking is insufficient.

Aside from being profoundly cruel, I find this comment to be technically incorrect👇
