This weekend, a drug lord escaped from a Mexican prison by tunnelling out of the place, just like in the movies, and there's only one man out there that can stop him: Donald Trump.
Having already insulted the entire nation of Mexico, except for the minority who he assumes are good people, Donald Trump is now offering his services to them as a bounty hunter of sorts. Yesterday, the news broke that notorious drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman had escaped from prison using a mile-long underground tunnel.
Guzman hadn't actually been in jail all that long, as he had managed to evade the police for 13 years and was only arrested back in 2014, but now that he's on the run again, Donald Trump is confident that he's the only man that could deal with this situation. In a serious of tweets, Trump explained why he's convinced he'd stop 'El Chapo'.
Mexico's biggest drug lord escapes from jail. Unbelievable corruption and USA is paying the price. I told you so!

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!

We're not quite sure what scenario Trump has envisioned in which any of the candidates would be sitting down and negotiating with a drug lord, but hey, the guy reckons he'd get a deal done. They're both businessmen of sorts, let them try to hammer it out.
Anyway, the then turned his attention to the unfair media treatment he's been getting, so also spent some time tweeting about that.
The U.S. will invite El Chapo, the Mexican drug lord who just escaped prison, to become a U.S. citizen because our "leaders" can't say no!

El Chapo and the Mexican drug cartels use the border unimpeded like it was a vacuum cleaner, sucking drugs and death right into the U.S.

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

We're sure the apologies are being typed up at the moment, Don...
