Former Mexico president Vicente Fox has mocked Donald Trump with a T-shirt criticising his plans to build a border wall between Mexico and the United States, which reads: "Can’t build a wall if your hands are too small." The T-shirt refers to a joke which came about during the US 2016 presidential campaign and was most notably used by Mr Trump’s primary challenger Marco Rubio, who ridiculed him about the size of his hands during a debate.
