This is the way it is with Republicans. They will run their mouths and thumb their noses at anyone and everyone that will gain them points with their base. When that turns south and they get called on it, it’s time for someone else to defend them. Now, it would appear that all of Trump’s chest-thumping and braggadocio over Mexico is coming back to him.
Notorious Sinaloa Cartel head, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman escaped from a maximum-security prison in Mexico and Donald Trump couldn’t wait to jump on the story for notoriety.
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.

The joke around town is that I freed El Chapo from the Mexican prison because the timing was so good w/ my statements on border security. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2015
But it looks like Trump may have went over the line when he claimed that he would “kick [El Chapo’s] ass!” because he appears to have gotten the attention of the man himself.
…Trump, however, would kick his ass!

In a tweet from an account with over 300,000 followers, that may be El Chapo, the person behind the account vowed to Trump, “I’ll make you eat your fucking words.”
Sigue chingando y voy hacer que te tragues todas tus putas palabras pinche guero cagaleche @realDonaldTrump

Proving just how big and “red blooded” Trump is, he called the FBI and asked them to investigate the tweet.
“I’m fighting for much more than myself,” Trump said yesterday. “I’m fighting for the future of our country which is being overrun by criminals. You can’t be intimidated. This is too important.”
