A Twitter page claiming to be the official account of “El Chapo” is speaking candidly about people in power.

A popular Twitter account allegedly representing the Mexican drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who recently escaped prison for a second time, has launched insults and threats towards the Mexican President  Peña Nieto and U.S. president hopeful Donald Trump.

In a tweet directed at Donald Trump, who has been facing scrutiny for a series of anti-Mexican statements in the past month, the account reportedly run by the son of the fugitive drug lord told him to “continue f**** around and I will make you swallow all your f***** words, bloody white man.”

In yet another unabashed tweet, the alleged Guzman account takes down the Mexican President Peña Nieto, telling him to stop calling him a “delinquent because I give work to the people, unlike your bloody current government.” 

Donald Trump, who said in an earlier tweet that Guzman represents “everything that’s wrong with Mexico” and that he would “kick his (Guzman’s) ass,”  has reportedly informed the FBI over alleged death threats Guzman made via Twitter.

Trump said he will not back down, and told the entertainment news website TMZ that "I'm fighting for much more than myself. I'm fighting for the future of our country which is being overrun by criminals."

Joaquin Guzman was previously arrested in 1993 and escaped a Mexican jail in 2001 after bribing guards who permitted his exit inside a laundry cart. ‘El Chapo’ was once the head of Mexico's notorious Sinaloa Cartel that smuggled billions of dollars worth of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines into the United States.
