[VIDEO] 'I'm going to make you eat your words': Mexico's billion-dollar drugs lord THREATENS Donald Trump on Twitter account 'run by his son' and taunts the world after his dramatic escape from prison

Mexico's billion dollar drugs lord known as 'El Chapo' has gloated on Twitter about his escape from a maximum security jail by taunting authorities and threatening US-presidential hopeful Donald Trump. 

Joaquin Guzman, billionaire head of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, made his jail break on Saturday morning and is on the run from Altiplano jail, 50 miles outside of Mexico City, security officials said.

His audacious escape saw him dash through the mile-long tunnel system, which led to a building under construction next to the prison - from where he collected clothes left for him by his conspirators.

But following his escape he has took to Twitter and used it to hit back at Trump, who has said that the Guzman embodies 'everything that is wrong with Mexico' and added he would 'kick his ass'. 

On the account, administered by Guzman's son Ivan, the escapee reportedly wrote: 'If you keep p****** me off I'm going to make you eat your words you f****** blonde milk-s*****'. 

In Mexico, a milk-s****** is a homophobic slur. 

The property magnate is taking the threat seriously.

According to TMZ the billionaire has called in the FBI to investigate the source of the Twitter account which warned Trump he would be sorry he spoke out against Mexico.

Battenfeld: 5-star hotels, armored cars, Deval Patrick's travel tabs higher than tallies he told

Former Gov. Deval Patrick spared no expense in his $1.4 million around-the-world travels: five-star hotels, pricey meals, armored cars and translators — while repeatedly misleading the public about the cost and funding of the trips, a Herald review of 
records shows.
From a luxury hotel in Mexico City touted for its “chic opulence” to a five-star Tokyo hotel rated as one of the top high-end destinations in Japan, Patrick’s trade mission entourage racked up tens of thousands of dollars in room tabs in each city, all charged to an undisclosed taxpayer-funded trust, according to records.
The Herald first disclosed the hidden trust funds, stockpiled with millions in public money from quasi-public agencies, that paid all of the trade mission costs, as well as a $20 million boost in tourism promotion. Legislative leaders have said they were unaware of the trusts.
Records from those trusts obtained by the Herald reveal the governor’s trip to Asia in 2013 included a stay at Hong Kong’s JW Marriott, a five-star luxury hotel with breathtaking views of the city, for which Massachusetts taxpayers footed the more than $15,000 bill.
The publicly funded trust also paid the $34,000 tab for the delegation at the five-star Hilton Conrad Tokyo — boasting a Japanese spa and on-site wedding chapel — and more than $12,000 for a translator and interpreter.
In Israel, Patrick’s group spent $2,680 for an “armored car,” according to records.
The governor’s entourage also opted for luxury, over-budget 
accommodations in Singapore, staying at the Regent Four Seasons — rated five stars, of course — and amassing nearly $22,000 in charges. Those costs included a $775 tab at the Regent Club Floor, with executive suites and conference rooms for the “discerning business traveler,” according to the hotel website.
On a quick stop in Kyoto, Patrick’s group bit the bullet and went downscale, staying at the four-star Grand Prince Hotel and racking up $2,000 in charges.
But in Mexico City last year, Patrick’s entourage stepped up again to the five-star level, staying at the Marquis Reforma Hotel and Spa, which boasts touches such as Art Deco-inspired rooms. The room charges 
for individuals on the trade mission ranged from $734 to $1,889, but incomplete records compiled by Patrick’s 
office don’t indicate for how many nights.

Obama Will Cut a Deal Sooner Rather than Later

At first glance, the Republicans seemed to be losing the so-called shut-down impasse, inasmuch as Obamacare, as the president termed it, was “settled law” and the Republicans did not have the congressional clout to overturn it. No one likes, after all, to be turned away from Yosemite on a pleasant autumn day, because of Beltway gymnastics.
Yet the politics are likely to change the longer this drags on, and at some point Obama will see the writing on the wall.

First, the legions of federally employed constituents, the lesser Lois Lerners of the bureaucracy, have played the shutdown badly. Like supervisors at the IRS, many want to freelance their pettiness to showcase their Obama fides—and thereby screw up. No one wishes to see veterans turned away from open-air monuments, while illegal aliens are invited into public federal spaces to protest against their supposedly insensitive host whose laws they are daily breaking (at a time of a government shutdown, try protesting en masse in the Zócalo in Mexico City for your inherent rights as an illegal, foreign resident of Mexico).

Second, the long-term trajectory of the debate is not so sanguine for the Democrats. The initial news of the Obamacare inaugural is horrible—aside from the inability of so-called techies and social-media gurus to run a website (can’t the geniuses who ran the websites of Obama 2012 run those of the ACA?). True, for now the bad press is eclipsed by the shutdown. But there is nothing intrinsic in Obamacare that is ever going to make people like it. Well before the long waits and reduced care, the carefree young struggling to find a part-time job will be shocked by a huge de facto tax on them; the majority with existing health-care plans will find their premiums spiking; and many of those without insurance, contrary to Obama’s protestations, have always found some avenues for care in free state and federal clinics and emergency rooms that will be seen as preferable to either paying a fine or buying insurance. No one wants to hear that unions, businesses, and government grandees are finding ways to avoid what most cannot.
