America, Donald Trump would like an apology.
Following Sunday’s news that Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman had tunneled out of prison, the GOP candidate unleashed a Tweetstorm in which he claimed the kingpin’s escape vindicated his controversial comments that Mexico sends criminals and rapists to America.
When will people, and the media, start to apologize to me for my statement, “Mexico is sending….”, which turned out to be true? El Chapo

Trump also took a shot at Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, suggesting that they would meekly negotiate with the drug lord, whereas he would try a mano a mano approach.
Can you envision Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton negotiating with ‘El Chapo’, the Mexican drug lord who escaped from prison? ….

…Trump, however, would kick his ass!

Now that the Mexican drug lord escaped from prison, everyone is saying that most of the cocaine etc. coming into the U.S. comes over border!

…..but that’s what I’ve been saying. Very unfair treatment by the media!
The real estate mogul mused that US government would offer citizenship to the on-the-run drug lord.
The U.S. will invite El Chapo, the Mexican drug lord who just escaped prison, to become a U.S. citizen because our “leaders” can’t say no!

And Trump seems unfamiliar with the workings of a vacuum cleaner.
El Chapo and the Mexican drug cartels use the border unimpeded like it was a vacuum cleaner, sucking drugs and death right into the U.S.

….likewise, billions of dollars gets brought into Mexico through the border. We get the killers, drugs & crime, they get the money!

Trump said the timing of El Chapo’s escape was almost too good.
The joke around town is that I freed El Chapo from the Mexican prison because the timing was so good w/ my statements on border security.

It’s worth noting that Trump’s solution to securing the border—building a wall—would do little to deter a drug lord like El Chapo, whose tunneling skills are legendary.
