Donald Trump Heightens Security In Wake Of El Chapo Threats
If it’s not one thing it’s another for Donald Trump, as the controversial 2016 Presidential Candidate continues down his stormy campaign trail, with many being highly critical of Trump’s take on illegal immigration and others supporting the Donald’s candid, straight-forward stance on the issue.
One of those apparently not pleased with Donald Trump’s ongoing commentary regarding Mexican illegal immigrants in the U.S. is El Chapo, the Mexican drug kingpin that recently escaped from prison and whose violent alleged threats against Trump via Twitter have the outspoken real estate mogul stepping up his security in case El Chapo really intends to follow through, reports the New York Post.
Trump’s beefed-up anti-El Chapo security was on display Tuesday in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the Donald was attending the opening of his new bed and breakfast and winery, Albemarle Estate.
Arriving via helicopter, Trump was escorted onto the grounds of his new establishment by two capable-looking state troopers.
“We have officials all over the place, including right outside hanging out in trees,” Trump told reporters once inside.
Donald Trump’s additional security measures are in response to a brewing Twitter feud between one user who some believe to be El Chapo and Trump.
The war of words was actually kicked off by the Donald who let fly some tweets in the wake of El Chapo’s escape.
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!

But El Chapo didn’t take too kindly to Trump’s El Chapo tweets, and despite being on the run following his inexplicable prison escape, the drug kingpin fired some choice tweets of his own back at Trump, among the translations saying, “Keep f**king around and I’m gonna make you swallow your b**ch words you f**king whitey milks**tter.”
The term “milks**tter” is reportedly a homophobic slur in Mexico, reports the Daily Mail.
The tweets sent from Twitter user @ElChap0Gusman, though not verified, are believed to actually be from El Chapo, a follow up tweet to the initial brouhaha with Trump saying, “I’m better than them,” regarding Trump and his associates.
Whether or not El Chapo is in fact the voice of @ElChap0Gusman, Donald Trump is certainly taking the threats seriously, and took them to the FBI.
“Law enforcement is working very hard right now on the situation here,” said Trump from his new Albemarle Estate. When pressed on whether or not the feds had gotten back to him regarding the threat, Trump only said, “I am not supposed to be talking about it.”
One thing Donald Trump was happy to talk about, however, El Chapo threat or not, was the incompetence of the “Mexican authorities.”
“They knew about it. Mexican authorities are only good for Mexican authorities. Believe me, they’re not good for the United States.”
As for his standing in a national Poll of GOP voters, Donald Trump was on top, garnering 17 percent of likely Republican primary voters, trailed by Jeb Bush with 14 percent.
Given the oppotunity, one person likely not to vote for Donald Trump is El Chapo.
