A leading candidate in Mexico's presidential race vowed to fire back at President Trump if he continues to insult Mexico on Twitter, Yahoo News reported.
"If he makes an offensive tweet, I'm going to take responsibility for answering him," Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Friday.
Trump has regularly attacked Mexico in speeches and on Twitter since he launched his presidential campaign in 2015.
López Obrador, the former mayor of Mexico City, said Trump needs to respect Mexican people.
"I think (Trump) is going to understand he has to get himself under control, that he can't go around offending the Mexican people. We don't want confrontations with him, but we are going to ask him to respect us,” he said during a campaign rally.
This is not the first time López Obrador has threatened to counter Trump's Twitter use.....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just as soon as Mexicans start respecting Americans and American laws!!
Wow! That shows guts right there. NOT!
Because if there is ONE THING Mexicans are known for, it’s respecting other people’s land, property, cultures, laws, customs and people; right?

López Obrador is the candidate in the 2018 presidential race for Juntos Haremos Historia, a coalition between the left-wing Labor Party, right-wing Social Encounter Party, and MORENA. He has proposed increases in financial aid for students and the elderly, amnesty for some drug war criminals,[13] universal access to public colleges[14], cancellation of the under-construction New Mexico City International Airport,[15] a referendum over an energy reform that ended Pemex’s monopoly in the oil industry,[16] stimulation of the country’s agricultural sector, delay of the renegotiations of NAFTA until after the elections,[17][13] build more oil refineries, increase welfare spending, cutting politicians’ salries to not incur debt nor higher taxes[18] and decentralization of the executive cabinet by moving Secretaries from the capital to states.[19] Polls show him as the leading candidate.[20][21][22][23][24]
Big whoopee
You guys think Mexico is a mess now, just wait until ObraGore finally gets control after years of being denied the dream of his very own fascist/socialist state.
Maybe when and if these Mexican aholes order their people to stop invading America and bring their citizens home, THEN we’ll start respecting them.
Yes, they learned. They also realize they have American allies who are okay with national suicide and who eagerly play the role of Useful Idiot for anyone.
Hey, I’ve got an idea.
Let’s build a wall. A big wall. Anyone who crosses illegally from Mexico gets shot.
People who cross illegally get drugs get shot again - just to make SURE they’re dead.
At the same time, since they don’t seem to approve of our President, we can feel free to stop sending them money.
Well, Andy...you’ll get the respect when you give some respect.
America is not the dumping ground for your undesirables, your gang members, drug cartels, or any other ne’er do wells from Mexico.
So far as I know, Trump isn’t running for any office in Mexico and those Mexicans here in the states are probably here illegally and shouldn’t be voting here anyway...so your fluster-bluster means nothing except you profiling for your people.
Get over yourself.
Tax remittances at 50%.
Trump respects Mexicans that stay in Mexico.
The candidate projected to win in July is basically a Hugo Chavez marxist. We need to be prepared for wide scale economic disruption in Mexico soon.
No no no! By all means, Mexican “poor man’s socialist” wannabe - take on Trump in a Twitter war. You’ll make Bob Corker actually look “witty”!
“Respec” the mexos??? Is this a sick joke?????
Doesn’t matter who runs or wins, the cartels control the government anyway.
Wait... What are you babbling about? Put down the vodka and log off.
Obviously you are drinking too much purple drank. Log off. Go to sleep.
Someone point out to that piece of Spanish feces if he wants respect, quit dumping your garbage on our property, raping and murdering our people!
