On the chutzpah front, it's hard to top Mexico's rulers.
Here's the latest from la presidenta, Claudia Sheinbaum, who has advice for President Trump, the leader is getting rid of her country's cartel problem for her.
According to CBS News:
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday said she would ask the United States to share the $15 billion it expects to extract from convicted Mexican drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada with her country's poor.
Sinaloa drug cartel co-founder Zambada pleaded guilty in a New York court on Monday to murder and drug trafficking, particularly of fentanyl — a powerful narcotic responsible for tens of thousands of US overdose deaths annually.
In pleading guilty, the 77-year-old avoided the possibility of the death penalty but still faces life imprisonment at a sentencing hearing due at a later date.
As part of the deal, Zambada, who had initially pleaded not guilty, agreed to forfeit $15 billion in ill-gotten gains.
Addressing her regular morning press conference, Sheinbaum said: "If the United States government were to recover resources, then we would be asking for them to be given to Mexico for the poorest people.
Which is quite the nerve from her.
After all, whose job was it to capture Zambada, who, according to the story, fed his cartel rivals to hungry tigers and the like.
And more important, who sat on her hands while he was amassing this fortune, only to see it lost when the U.S. apparently tricked him into flying into Texas, where he was picked up by authorities? That $15 billion was just waiting for her and she did nothing.

What a frickin’ joke!
Her “poor” are in the US.
Send them back to her with the money!
Every damn one of them that’s come in here in the last 20 years!
She can have what is left over after paying for the wall.
Nope
We’ll consider it partial reimbursment for the tens of millions of mexican illegals that have used up our services.
Once the Trump skyscraper library is completed, sure.
poor claudia
missed out on the booty
and the bribes have stopped
LOL!
Didn’t we just spend the last 30 years sending you all our factories? If we just call it even, consider yourself lucky.
Sorry Claud...He’s sharing it with me, I need a bigger boat!
His money was sourced (almost entirely) from the US and the US should get it back.
There are other drug cartel leaders still in Mexico that Mexico can extract money from. Take every peso, Presidente, por favor.
Ain’t that the truth.
Why don’t she just share her cut of the cartel money?
Hmm, what did Ms. Sheinbaum do to to stem the flow of illegal aliens into our great Country? What about the flow of drugs? On the basis of cost alone, our neighbor to the south owes us much much more than a mere $15B.
Sure.
Recall every Mexican citizen in the US first
Great Idea!
I have another idea: why not charge the Cuban government for all the oil it has been sending for decades? It would be a great help to the poor in Mexico.
She has already gotten her cut. She gets paid monthly. Employee contributions.
MEXICO’S POOR ARE HERE and our taxpayers are making them RICH.
