Donald Trumps victory lap over the recent escape of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman was interrupted Monday by a death threat issued from a Twitter account allegedly belonging to the notorious Mexican drug lords son.
"Keep f--king around, and Ill make you eat all of your godd--n words, tweeted @ElChap0Guzman an unverified account with over 250,000 followers said to be El Chapos official presence on the social network.
Trump who on Sunday tweeted "I told you so! following news of the Sinaloa Cartel leaders brazen prison break told TMZ he would be contacting the FBI over the threatening tweet, but would not be backing down.
"I'm fighting for much more than myself. I'm fighting for the future of our country which is being overrun by criminals," he told the entertainment site. "You can't be intimidated. It's too important."

He already has some of the best security out there. People in these positions get threats. It's part of doing biz.

How can “El Chapo” or even someone representing him have an active account on Twitter. Don’t they have rules?
I'm sure he does.
And it would be refreshing to see him (and any other R candidate) "blow off" the SecServ until the election.
Well, at least El Chapo hasn’t yet threatened to interrupt the wedding of Trump’s daughter. If he did that, Trump would surely need to drop out of the race.
It’s nothing new. The fanatic savages who behead people over in Ustinkistan for fun threaten people all the time.
And just another reason why our borders must be secured as fast as humanly possible.
I pay as much attention to things political as anyone on this board, including you. And just WHO are YOU to judge, anyhow.
Reread my post, pinhead. My question referred to any tweet or statement Trump has made TODAY regarding THIS MORNING'S announcement of the Iran deal....as my attention today has been rather sporadic due to those tedious hausfrau duties that must be taken care every once in a while.

For later...
That's fine. But begs the question, why would comments from Trump change regarding what he told national audience's that people in government negotiating our foreign policies and trade deals complete idiots? The man said were being screwed on every front. Trump made this inordinately clear. Most understand this.
There is no reason for Trump to change his statements. They're true. No?

From where I sit, I think this is the only path back from the nightmare path we've been on. The only one. I call it the “OK, I'm not playing anymore” path.
The hardened ideological left has had a planned pathway for many decades, and they've essentially reached a point at which they look at those of us who don't agree with them and say “Our ball, we make the rules. If you want to stay in the game in any capacity you have no choice but to play by our rules”. In Obama-speak they've ‘transformed’ the game.
When you've seen enough lower court and SCOTUS decisions go against you, politicians scoff at your beliefs, your right to disagree publicly eroded to the point of non-existence, and you've been ridiculed, demonized, and demoralized, there comes a point at which all you have left is to say “I won't play anymore. Take your ball and your game and play by whatever rules you wish. I'm not part of it. I'm going to get my own ball and play my own game with people who play by the rules we believe in.”
That's the response the left really haven't thought through and have no plan to deal with. At this point, it's one of the only responses left they don't have a way to combat.
This is not to say that Trump is the best choice for President. Doesn't matter. At this point he's the guy who is impervious enough to the fallout, and with enough guts, and driven by sufficient ego to say “games over, keep your ball”.
It helps, of course, that he owns a lot of big playing fields.
I thought Trump was now under the protection of the Secret Service.
Yes name one other candidate who would stand up after being threatened by El Chapo. None is the answer. They are except for Cruz and maybe Paul (no he’s not my guy) a bunch of timid careful political uniparty careerists.
New poll today Trump 17% Jebbie 14% everybody else way behind.
Trump is doing God’s Work—he may not know it—but he is leading a new movement that will (and has) changed America forever. No going back to the Liberal-Progressive race baiting, and PC control. There is a new breath of freedom that comes from an unlikely source. Sometimes the clowns must lead—sometimes its those who are not corrupted to yell that the Emperor has no clothes. He may never be President—I know that—but he has changed the race. For that I salute him!
Exactly! I don’t care one whit whether he will be President or not. He had the independence and courage to say the truth when the media and most Americans were sitting around admiring the Emperor’s robes. We owe him.
Jeb. What a damned doofus.
You wake up and realize you invaded a country where the citizens own millions of guns. Then you worry about your nationals being stuck in a precarious position .
