After anti-Mexican comments, Reynosa artisan creates Donald Trump pinata



After Donald Trump's Mexico-bashing comments this week, Mexicans are engaging in a little Trump-bashing of their own.

Call it revenge, Mexican style. Artisan Dalton Avalos Ramirez launched a Trump pinata Friday, featuring The Donald's inimitable hairstyle and a big, big mouth.

The papier-mache figure will come in a variety of sizes. The first was on display at the Pinatas Ramirez store in Reynosa.

Avalos Ramirez said he created it "because of the hatred Trump expressed for the Mexican people."

He said "people want to burn the pinatas, they want to break them. People are angry."

Finally there is a rich guy who tells us that our problems are not due to him and his 1% friends but caused by the poor people who live down the block and across the river.

I bet when that pinata is broken open the contents are not candy but something that smells a lot worse.
