we’ve seen what lengths americans would go through to enable a clueless entitled white man to win over an intelligent and accomplished minority woman

As USians did not elect Trump (presumably the clueless entitled white man) over Sheinbaum, the reasonable assumption here is that the "intelligent and accomplished minority woman" you were referencing was Harris, no? Sheinbaum wasn't running against an entitled white man.

sheinbaum is a minority in mexico and well is accomplished & intelligent. i was using trump's experience with kamala to draw a parallel to how i believe both sheinbaum & trump will work with each other; anything that sheinbaum rightfully sticks to is automatically going to be a losing issue with her and it will cost her political legacy in mexico as well as justifying trump's actions towards mexico in american's eyes, trump will win all his altercations with her as a result.

Right, but in drawing this parallel to describe Sheinbaum, you have also implied Kamala possesses those same qualities in the parallel.

Kamala's only relatively flawless compared to trump and that's an extremely low bar (eg Gaza genocide) whereas shienbaum is truly flawless compared to anyone.
