American Donald J. Trump [now known as T-Rump here on BajaRacingNews.com], is part of the reason this well-known leftist [AMLO] was elected by a huge landslide. Major changes of federal policies are now expected across the Baja peninsula. Racers and race teams will be impacted, it's just a matter of time.

"Veteran leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has been elected president of Mexico, winning the largest landslide in his country's recent history in a remarkable routing of what he terms “the mafia of power”".
