The weakness the mexican goverment is the strength the usa goverment

Trough the history of Mexico always it needs to see toward to the north, because it has a powerful neighbour, USA. Since USA emerged as a nation, it has seen how to expand its territory and its domain. In 1835, Mexico experimented how the USA goverment snatched its territory, not only Texas, a part important the north of territory. Gral. Santa Anna was president of goverment of Mexico, but he was a president without legitimacy and popularitie between the mexican people, the result was a big lost to Mexico, and the conviction by the USA goverment of that Mexico never would represent a real oponent. In diferent moments USA invaded mexican territory, the last time was during the mexican revolution, it tried to do once more when petroleum expropriation, but the president Lázaro Cardenas, threatned with burned petroleum towers, if USA government stepped mexican territory.

Afther that event between mexican goverment and USA goverment, they tried to understand in differents subjects, but with a predominance by the last. But, nowadays, all is change with the presidency of Donald Trump. Because he during his campaign encouraged a hate to the mexican people, he called them: rapers, thiefs and "bad hombres". And he said he would build the wall, and Mexico would pay for the wall.

But the mexican government wasn't prepare to confront to Donald Trump meanwhile he was candidate, president Peña Nieto had the mistake to invited to Donald Trump to Mexico. The president received him like a chief of state, but that gesture didn't calm the speech of hate to Mexico.

Finally, and counter all we expected, Trump won the presidency of the USA, it was like a bucket of cold water. The mexican goverment faced an internal crisis because the murder of 43 students from Guerrero, the corruption and symtomps of authoritarism and represion toward some social movements. The mexican goverment have tried to negociate not only the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and it hasn't tried speak about the build of wall and the pay. But, the mexican goverment hasn't the enough strength to faced an USA goverment led by Trump. He tried to use the weakness of president Peña Nieto to say and to do, whatever he wants.

Nowadays, strong goverments with a solid legitimacy are capable to confront any threat. But president Peña and his goverment lack of this elements and they can't unite the population and the political class. Conversely, some medias and politicians have attacked the estrategy of president Peña. Maybe a change of goverment, could face this challenge, but it may be too late.
