On Tuesday, Former Mexican President Vicente Fox drew parallels between Donald Trump and Fidel Castro, the recently deceased, long-time leader of Cuba. 

During an appearance on 'Mornings With Maria,' a show broadcast on the Fox Business Network, Fox said, “Castro was a dictator and a very dangerous and terrible dictator…Nobody needs dictators. And by the way, that kind of dictatorship, that kind of totalitarian [leadership] is very similar to Trump. They lie, they cheat, they are false prophets, they promise many things but they are not going to be able to comply.”

Dagen McDowell, the show's host, expressed his deep disapproval of Fox’s comment, but the former president did not back down, commenting, “No, I don’t take it back, I insist. On his genes, they are similar authoritarians. They impose their wills. They only think that they have the right and the reason.”
