MEXICO CITY – After Donald Trump's Mexico-bashing comments this week, Mexicans are engaging in a little Trump-bashing of their own.
Artesan Dalton Avalos Ramirez created a Trump piñata after the outspoken mogul bashed Mexico on Tuesday during a speech when he announced he was running for president. During his kickoff speech, Trump accused Mexico of illegally sending drugs, crime and rapists across the border.
Avalos Ramirez, who lives and works in Reynosa, Mexico said Mexicans on both sides of the border are quite angry at his comments and are embracing the new piñata gladly.

Pretty good likeness, actually.
Does anyone make a beaner pinata for angry Americans?
I didn’t know that our candidates for the presidency had to get approval from Mexico. Or should I say, American candidates for the presidency?
Maybe he could put together a Hillary Clinton piñata for the angry Americans.
How delightfully third-world of them.
Looks like I’ll have to abandon my claim for a Trump Chia pet.....the market is too saturated.
Trump’s effigy is the only candidate the Mexican children are beating with sticks?
That would seem to suggest all the career bureaucrats on the stage must meet Mexico’s approval.
Hmmmm...
And a Jebster one as well.....
I have never had a very high opinion of piñatas.
You make something pretty and cute and then you beat it to pieces. It is full of candy that falls out on the ground and a bunch of kids fight over the candy. Some kids get candy some do not, all kids are skinned up, some of them are crying.
Not my idea of a good time.
I’d get it, only because Trump’s somewhat of a bloviating @$$. (This sets me up for an interesting conflict of interest, however.)
I’m all in for Cruz....but TPA/TTP/TTIP and his view on illegals is a bit concerning...
Hope us Cruz supporters can convince him to drop support for TPA/TTP/TTIP, and adopt an immigration policy somewhat like Mexico’s...
OBAMA PINATAS?
PANDORAS PINATA BOX HAS BEEN OPENED
Ditto!
I happened to be near a park once where I saw what appeared to be big Mexican party. Lots of people drinking, loud Spanish music etc.
They strung up some Pinata and had blinded folded this kid and handed him a bat. First swing he impacted the side of another kids head who happened to be standing too close. The sound of the impact was ugly. He dropped to the ground.
The party became very hysterical. I saw several carrying the kid, stumbling and running with the kid who appeared unconscious, to a pick up truck. The truck sped off...
Pandora’s Piñata has been breached!
Are there any non-American candidates running this time around?
Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.[Posted on 11/19/2013 12:16:51 PM by Third Person]
Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
Rand Paul's immigration speech...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.[Posted on 03/19/2013 7:04:07 AM PDT by Perdogg]
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reformLatinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...[Posted on 04/21/2013 1:52:42 PM PDT by SoConPubbie]

Rand Slams Congress for Funding Egypt's Generals: 'How Does Your Conscience Feel Now?'Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt's military -- even as Cairo's security forces massacre anti-government activists.

I saw the same thing. A kid in my sons Cub Scout pack whacked the heck out of another kid. He didn’t mean to, just an accident but it kind of spoiled the party.

I hope that Trump is elected president, when the first thing he does is sign an immediate executive order to completely close down the Mexican border as payback for the way Mexicans are continually and arrogantly invading and laughing at the United States and for the way the Mexicans insulted and laughed at Trump today.
Then we will see who has the last laugh.
