The feud between Donald Trump and Mexicans continue. However, Mexican drug king pin, who recently escaped from prison, is now added to the growing equation.
In a report by Fox News Latino, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump used Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's escape from prison as evidence of the problems and crime he has been pointing out from the beginning.
According to the report, the billionaire mogul was travelling back to the East Coast on Monday but it didn't stop him from posting updates non-stop using his official Twitter account. His first tweet exposed the drug lord's escape from prison and dropping an "I told you so!" comment for everyone to see.
"Mexico's biggest drug lord escapes from jail. Unbelievable corruption and USA is paying the price. I told you so!" Trump wrote.
In a follow up tweet, he criticized fellow candidates Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush. He mentioned that he envisions his rivals negotiation with the drug lord while he would take a different route on the matter.
"Can you envision Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton negotiating with 'El Chapo', the Mexican drug lord who escaped from prison?" he posted. "Trump, however, would kick his ass!" he continued.
Trump did not stop and continued with his Twitter rants until Monday morning. He noted that the likes of El Chapo and Mexican cartels would suck drugs and death right into American soil.
"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," he added.
However, his tweets quickly backfired as an account under the name of "ElChap0Guzman" sent threats to the businessman. The Guardian reported that the authenticity of the Twitter account cannot be verified but an aide of Trump claimed that the FBI is already investigating the threats sent via tweet.
"Keep screwing [with us] and I'm going to make you eat your [expletive] words you lousy white faggot," said the Twitter "ElChap0Guzman."
"The FBI is fully aware of the situation and is actively investigating this threat against Mr. Trump," Trump's aide said.
A report from Yahoo stated that Guzman, also known as "El Chapo," was able to make his escape from a maximum-security prison via a tunnel. After a prison breakout back in 2001, he managed a powerful Sinaloa cartel until he was arrested last year. The cartel was able to smuggle billions of dollars worth of drugs like cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines to America.
