Mexican currency traders believe they may have stumbled upon a way to finally stop Donald Trump.

The President-elect has casually swatted away allegations of tax avoidance, sexual assault and now unverified suggestions that Vladimir Putin has “cultivated, assisted and supported” him for years as his seemingly unstoppable ascent to the Oval Office has continued unchecked.

But he has done so with the use of one of his most trusted tools: Twitter. What would happen if were to lose it?

That’s the question on the minds of Mexico’s traders, who have seen their country’s central bank spend $2bn (£1.6bn) of its reserves trying to protect the peso from Mr Trump’s 140-character anti-Mexico outbursts.
