Viral “Letter” From Mexican President Sheinbaum To Trump And Musk Is Fake

PranpreeyaApril 10, 2025

A viral social media post claiming to be a letter from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to Donald Trump and Elon Musk about the border wall has been circulating widely online. The alleged letter, which includes sarcastic comments about American geography and threatens a global economic boycott, has caught significant attention.

Social Media Posts

The viral letter first appeared on social media in early 2025, claiming to be an official statement from President Sheinbaum addressing Trump’s new border policies announced on January 20, 2025. The letter referenced the border wall initiative and claimed Elon Musk was working with the Trump administration on the project. It outlined possible economic consequences and was signed by Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s president since October 1, 2024.

Fact Check

No official record exists of Claudia Sheinbaum authoring or sending this letter to Trump and Musk in 2025. A review of her official social media accounts, the Mexican government’s website, and transcripts of her daily press conferences from January to April 2025 shows no mention of this text.

Origin of the Message

This message appears to be a modified version of a viral post from 2017 (see here and here), when Trump first proposed the border wall during his presidency. The original message circulated widely on social media without any specific author, typically signed with phrases like “Cordially, the rest of the world.” It had characteristics of a chain letter, asking people to share it multiple times to reach American audiences.

Additionally, this attribution doesn’t make sense historically. In 2017, Claudia Sheinbaum wasn’t Mexico’s president, she served as the mayor of Mexico City from 2018 to 2023 before becoming president in 2024. Since the original message was from 2017, it couldn’t have come from her as president.

Content Analysis

Spelling Errors: The misspelling of her name as “Klaudia” (instead of “Claudia”) in the signature further suggests a lack of authenticity, as official correspondence would not contain such an error.

Factual Inaccuracies: The claim of “7 billion consumers” boycotting U.S. products oversimplifies global population and trade dynamics. As of 2025, the world population is approximately 8 billion, with the U.S. itself accounting for over 340 million—leaving fewer than 7 billion outside its borders. Moreover, the text lists brands like “Panama” as “Mexican tennis” (likely meaning sneakers), but Panama is a Central American country, not a Mexican brand, indicating possible confusion or fabrication.

Sheinbaum’s Actual Stance

President Sheinbaum’s official responses to Trump’s policies in 2024 and 2025 included the following points:

• Trade Policy: She responded to Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican goods by suggesting balanced solutions that would protect both countries’ economies, as covered by multiple news outlets in late 2024 and early 2025.
• Border Management: Her administration showed significant progress in managing border crossings, with official data showing border encounters dropped by three-quarters between December 2023 and November 2024. (Source)
• Political Dialogue: When Trump suggested renaming North America as the “Gulf of America,” she countered with “América Mexicana,” showing her willingness to engage in diplomatic discourse while maintaining Mexico’s position. (Source)

Conclusion

Our investigation shows this letter was not written by President Sheinbaum, but rather comes from an old social media post from 2017. Based on official government records and statements, President Sheinbaum conducts all U.S. communications through formal diplomatic channels. A thorough review of reliable sources revealed no evidence of this letter’s authenticity.
