Donald Trump is the first former US President faces criminal chargessince he was accused of seven different crimes, of which he lost three and four more are in process.

On the other hand, Mexico’s former ambassador to the US stated that it is incredible that the US democratic system has failed to create other alternative candidatesin addition to Donald Trump and Joe Biden to offer voters a better option.
“The reason I continue to argue that Biden will win the election is because the electorate has already seen both of them work, and the general consensus is that the truth is that they have a very bad option, mainly due to the age of both, and in the case of Trump due to character traits, but it is incredible that in the American democratic system he was not able to generate other alternative candidates for the presidency. offer the best option to the public“, he said.
