Mexico's billion dollar drugs lord known as 'El Chapo' has gloated on Twitter about his escape from a maximum security jail by taunting authorities and threatening US-presidential hopeful Donald Trump.
Joaquin Guzman, billionaire head of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, made his jail break on Saturday morning and is on the run from Altiplano jail, 50 miles outside of Mexico City, security officials said.
His audacious escape saw him dash through the mile-long tunnel system, which led to a building under construction next to the prison - from where he collected clothes left for him by his conspirators.

Or a Mexican living in Mexico. It might be time to do the Gen. Pershing thing and stay until every cartel member is dead. And shoot corrupt Mex. officials at the same time.
Replace the donkey with an elephant and it is just as relevant. Maybe even more so....
Chapo was on the lamb when they apprehended him last year. So Chapo is not living high on the hog in that sense, but he still has billions at his disposal.
Trump may well tone-down his speeches. Another thing, if they can’t get to Trump, these thugs might go for another politician, not good all around.
Heck, congressmen have had sit-ins in their offices of illegals.
Much better.
Why yes it would be, an additional reward on top of an existing bounty might make Trump a hero.
Good point.
....in pesos.

They have plenty of dollars. They probably have Swiss bank accounts.
Why is he threatening Trump?
How much appeal does he have to Mexican people, like Jesse James and Bonnie and Clyde had in the US? Of course, he may also be appealing to the Latino masses in the US, especially if he gets imprisoned here. Remember, many prisons have black, Hispanic, and Aryan Nation factions. If he does, then this could be an effort to up his mass appeal/reputation.
Gretchin just had a guest who suggested that the tunnel was built some time ago and the CHUMPO just had the opportunity to use it. Inside job on steroids
Just what I was thinking, great cover for an arkancide.
“Since Jul 6, 2015
Welcome to FR. We have different opinions on that here.”
And this means exactly what....
Obama has shown he will not interfere with the cartels business. Rumor is they were given carte blanche to operate out of Chicago. Trump on the other hand said he wants to build a wall, tighten boarder security and presumably deport illegals (some of which are cartel drug smugglers and salesmen).
It means I’m voting for TED CRUZ regardless of what you say.
Exactly right.
Right now, I like Cruz or Trump!

The leader of the worlds largest and most organized drug cartel has very little money and no friends? Who dug the tunnel? This guy is a legend in Mexico. They either fear him or respect him. Even their President.
If you really think Trump can send some mercs (dog the bounty hunter as someone above suggested..lol) down there to take him out, you’re frikken nuts!
What state and when is your primary?
I don't see Cruz making it past Florida.
