GOP presidential contender Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday to use the prison escape of Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to Mexican corruption.
Considering the guy got out by an elaborate tunnel that was a mile long, the chances are pretty good he had some help.
Trump tweeted:
Mexico’s biggest drug lord escapes from jail. Unbelievable corruption and USA is paying the price. I told you so!

And he made it pretty clear what he thought about his rivals’ likely reaction to the news would be like.
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!

Twitter weren’t entirely impressed though, asking why a United States president would be negotiating with a fugitive drug lord in the first place.
@realDonaldTrump Let me ask you something. Do you imagine being POTUS involves a lot of direct negotiating with escaped narcoterrorists?

So Trump would negotiate with El Chapo? More baffling by the day https://t.co/se0DAJdqaO

Trump supporters were ready with an answer to that though.
@pourmecoffee@thetomzone@realDonaldTrump As opposed to direct negotiation with, say, the Taliban?

There’s no shortage of Trump critics out there, of course, and some took the opportunity to joke the Mexican drug lord might be coming after the American billionaire to take revenge for Trump’s comments about Mexico.

And how about this one ….
Hello Señor #Trump… You were saying? #ElChapohttp://t.co/g1F6OIdLBWpic.twitter.com/1Ic3FvuYJj

Again Trump’s backers had an answer.
@NasMaraj you saying that would exactly prove his point of immigrants being criminals if el chapo were to “come for him”
— Manny (@minoritymanny) July 13, 2015
Actually, Trump’s probably not worried about that as much as he is about this …
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!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2015
And considering the kind of crowds Trump drew over the weekend in Arizona, he’s not the only one.
