Just the type of person Trump would loathe:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudia_Sheinbaum
A scientist by profession, Sheinbaum received her Doctor of Philosophy in energy engineering from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). She has authored over 100 articles and two books on energy, the environment, and sustainable development. She contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
How awesome is that? She is probably my favorite politician anywhere at the moment.
Academic career
Sheinbaum studied physics at the National Academic career Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where she earned an undergraduate degree in 1989. She earned a master's degree in 1994 and a Ph.D. in 1995 in energy engineering.[17][13][18]
Social issues
Sheinbaum is a self-described feminist, aligning her beliefs and actions with the principles of gender equality and women's rights.[174] She advocates for the legalization of abortion, aligning her stance with broader movements aimed at promoting reproductive rights and autonomy for women.[175] During her leadership in Mexico City, Sheinbaum championed LGBT rights by implementing a gender-neutral policy for school uniforms.[176] In 2022, she became the first Head of Government of Mexico City to attend the city's gay pride march.[177]
Economy
Sheinbaum has criticized the neoliberal economic policies of past presidents of Mexico, arguing that they have contributed to inequality in the country.[178] She has promised to expand welfare under her presidency[179] and intends to continue programs started by López Obrador, such as universal pension.[180]
Environment
Sheinbaum has a background in environmental policy, having served as Minister of the Environment for Mexico City and worked on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),[181] which would go on to win her a Nobel Peace Prize.[182] In her tenure as Minister of the Environment, she saw a marked reduction in air pollution and created community ecological reserves.[183] She has both spoken in favor of clean energy and support of oil, having praised PEMEX (the nation's state-owned oil company).[184]

If Trump invaded Mexico the Dems should totally steal her
