The video was promoted as a response to an earlier TV Azteca ad that used Trump’s words as a way to promote Mexico in the game. But Fox’s choice of Trump to promote the United States team seemed, at best, questionable. He has built his campaign for president around anti-immigration positions, especially those from Mexico, and has described Mexicans who have entered the United States illegally as rapists and criminals.

In the video, interspersed with clips of the United States and Mexican teams in action, Trump is seen saying, “Our country has tremendous people, tremendous potential,” “these are the best and the finest,” and “bigger, better and stronger, and we will make American great again.” He is also quoted saying, “I love the Mexican people,” and “they have amazing spirit.”
