Forget about her restaurants — renowned Mexican chef Martha Ortiz says Trump isn’t even welcome in “my country and my world.”
While remarking on a new Frida Kahlo exhibit at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, chef and “Top Chef Mexico” judge Martha Ortiz claimed that President Trump is casting a negative light upon Mexican culture — and said he isn’t welcome in the country, as far as she’s concerned.

Ortiz also added, “My country and my world will never be a place that he can trespass in. He will never be welcome.”
