El Chapo reportedly offers $100,000 for Trump ‘dead or alive’
Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has reportedly offered $100,000 for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The offer was probably made due to Trump's stance on the immigration crisis that has gripped the United States on its southern border with Mexico where he said he would build a wall as the US president, the New York-based Complex magazine reported Wednesday, citing multiple news outlets.
According to an anonymous source, the runaway drug lord (picture above) “wants Donald Trump dead and will pay any amount of money to have Donald Trump’s head."
Back in July, El Chapo, widely deemed as the world's most powerful drug trafficker, escaped Mexico’s most secure penitentiaries through a 1.5 kilometer-long tunnel under in his prison cell's shower area, equipped with ventilation, lighting, and a motorcycle, all put there allegedly without any detection.
At the time, Trump made some disparaging remarks over Twitter regarding El Chapo’s second escape.
“Can you imagine Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton negotiating with ‘El Chapo’, the Mexican drug lord who escaped prison?” he asked. “Trump however would kick his a**.”
An account allegedly belonging to El Chapo’s son responded to the comments by threatening to make the Republican front runner to “swallow” his words.
Trump apparently overreacted to the tweet by calling the FBI and asking for protection.
Ever since, he has also beefed up security and now wears a bulletproof vest, according to reports.
“We have officials all over the place, including right outside hanging out in trees,” he told reporters a few months ago in Charlottesville, Virginia.
El Chapo is said to have always been an outspoken opponent of the real estate, hotel, and casino mogul.
Although incarcerated in maximum-security Altiplano prison in central Mexico, El Chapo still provided directions for management of his cartel, Sinaloa, to his son, Ivan Guzman-Salazar, and other cartel members.
