Drug kingpin El Chapo puts $100 million bounty on Donald Trump
- 9 years ago
SINALOA STATE, MEXICO ? Donald Trump, the reality TV host and frontrunner for the Republican nomination for U.S. president, has reportedly started taking threats against his life seriously. Specifically, he's worried about the threat of a $100 million bounty placed on his head recently by the world's most powerful drug kingpin, and proud Mexican, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
The unconfirmed bounty has been widely reported in Spanish and English and is attributed to an unnamed prisoner, somewhere in Mexico, who says of El Chapo, "He was mad. He wants Donald Trump dead and will pay any amount of money to have Donald Trump's head."
It seems Trump got El Chapo's attention with his June campaign speech when he said Mexico sends drugs, crime and rapists to the U.S.
El Chapo, who prefers to think of himself as a "job creator," escaped from prison in early July and allegedly engaged in a flame war with Trump over Twitter, using an account attributed to El Chapo's son, Ivan.
When Trump tweeted about Guzman's escape, El Chapo, or his son, replied with some very colorful Spanish and swore Trump would "eat his words." While displaying public bravado in the face of El Chapo's threats, Trump also asked the FBI to investigate the Twitter account.
When asked about the threats, Trump said: "We have officials all over the place, included outside hanging out in trees." Without official confirmation of the bounty on Trump's head, it's unlikely anyone would brave his "officials in trees," but with El Chapo on the loose, and Trump on the campaign trail, the iconoclasts are sure to meet again, even if only on Twitter.
