CNN ran an interview with a member of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico and asked him to send a “message to Donald Trump,” but failed to get the response they were looking for.
The network sent reporter Isobel Yeung to the home turf of the most monstrous drug trafficking organisation in the world where she sat with a member of the Sinaloa Cartel as part of her ‘investigation’ into the effect the cartel is having on society.
In one section of the interview, likely in an effort to create headlines, Yeung referred to Trump recently designating the cartel as foreign terrorists, opening up the possibility of targeting them with military force.

They can now be targeted with LETHAL FORCE by the U.S. military.

“According to the Trump Administration, you are a terrorist…You are a member of a terrorist organization. What do you make of that?” Yeung pressed the cartel member.
He responded that the situation is “ugly,” but claimed that cartel activity is just business because they “have to eat.”
Not satisfied with that answer, Yeung made another effort to get the cartel member to bash Trump.
“What is your message to Donald Trump if he’s watching this?” she asked.
The cartel member replied “My respect,” adding “According to him, he’s looking out for his people.”
Straight from a member of the Sinola Cartel.

The Cartel News Network was clearly hoping for a “Trump is evil, we’ll kill him” soundbite. Instead it ended up completely backfiring on them.
They attempted to stoke a confrontation and accidentally ended up giving Trump a campaign ad he can now use when he does move against the terrorists, you couldn’t write it if you tried.

More news on our radar
Democrats know less about being respectful than a cartel leader. Sad.
The cartels are so used to being at war with each other that having another enemy won’t faze them. As the interview indicates, it’s the price of doing business. In any case, I don’t see Mexico giving blanket permission for the US army to operate in their country.
The only people evil enough to not respect Trump are the fake news enemies of the people. We should cut their balls off and feed their balls to them then cut their throats.
If you attempted to post that on Faux-Free-Speech Newsmax they wouldn’t print it.
That’s why I like modernity…
