Trump on Mexican drug lord's escape: 'I told you so' “Unbelievable corruption and USA is paying the price.”

Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Donald Trump used the escape of notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman this weekend to criticize Mexico, the Media and fellow candidates for president.

The mogul/reality TV host turned candidate for president, wrote: “Mexico’s biggest drug lord escapes from jail. Unbelievable corruption and USA is paying the price. I told you so!”


He continued his posts through the day: “Now that the Mexican drug lord escaped from prison, everyone is saying that most of the cocaine etc. coming into the U.S. comes over border!”

“…..but that’s what I’ve been saying. Very unfair treatment by the media!”

The escape of Guzman through a prison shower area has caused a massive manhunt in Mexico and provided Trump with another chance to criticize Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush.

“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!” he tweeted.

His comments are likely to continue frustrating fellow Republicans while keeping Trump in the spotlight that began when he called Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists during his campaign announcement. On Sunday, for instance, fellow Republican candidate Lindsey Graham told CNN that Trump is “a wrecking ball for the future of the Republican Party with the Hispanic community.”

Guzman escaped from Mexico’s Altiplano prison during the weekend, apparently making his way through a mile-long tunnel, the Associated Press reported. Guzman had escaped from prison in 2001; he was captured in February 2014. “We share the government of Mexico’s concern regarding the escape,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Sunday.
