Donald Trump And Scott Walker Standing Tall.

Richard Trumka and Joaquin Guzman have something in common.   If you are an honest hard working, law abiding citizen, neither Trumka or Guzman are you friend.   However the politician man enough to stand up to either thug just might be your friend.

 

First up,  Donald Trump, from Nick Allen, Telegraph [1](UK):

Joaquin “El Chapo” (Shorty) Guzman, the fugitive Mexican drug lord, appeared on Monday night to be taunting authorities and threatening US presidential hopeful Donald Trump while on the run.

The country’s most notorious cartel leader broke out of a maximum-security jail at the weekend in a Hollywood-style escape that saw him scurrying down an elaborate, mile-long tunnel dug under his cell.

Guzman and his supporters wasted no time lambasting Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto as a “coward” but reserved particular ire for Mr Trump, who has accused Mexico of sending rapists and criminals to America

Second,  Scott Walker, from Daniel Strauss, Politico [2]:

“Scott Walker is a national disgrace,” AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement released ahead of Walker’s formal announcement on Monday.

There isn’t much love to lose between Walker and unions. As the Wisconsin governor has geared up to run for president, he’s repeatedly called attention to his record of fighting unions in his state and his support for right-to-work legislation. Supporters have also highlighted Walker’s ability to overcome a recall effort supported by unions, a victory that thrust him into the national spotlight and electrified conservatives.

If the measure of a man is the nature of his enemies,  Trump and Walker stand tall.
