All false prophets create a heightened sense of looming danger that allows them to consolidate power to a tragic end. Historically, the reaction of the panicked people is to retreat to their respective "tribes," and there you see the rise of protectionism, nationalism, populism, xenophobia, nativism, racism, misogyny, and homophobia, with the corresponding reactions of increased hate speech and violence toward anything "foreign." ... Today, Trump is the West's most powerful false prophet.
—Vicente Fox, Former President of Mexico
