Mexicans burn Trump’s effigy...
Mexicans on Sunday burned effigies of US President Barack Obama and Republican front-runner Donald Trump to mark their Easter celebrations.
The Mexican tradition is similar to the “burning of Judas”, in which Christians burn effigies of Judas around Easter. In Mexico, people burn cardboard effigies of politicians and criminals to show their rejection of corruption and other evil deeds.
He has also vowed to build a wall on the US-Mexican border to prevent illegal border-crossings and force Mexico to pay for it. His statement annoyed many in Mexico. Even Pope Francis condemned his plan, saying that anyone who wants to build a wall of separation “is not Christian”.
Mr Trump, however, rejected the criticism, saying it was “disgraceful” for a religious leader to question a person’s faith.
There was also an effigy of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the notorious leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel who escaped from prison and was recaptured in January.
President Obama has been under fire for increasing immigration raids and deportations during his administration.
Meanwhile, in a wide-ranging interview to The New York Times on foreign policy issues, Mr Trump said that if elected, he might halt purchases of oil from Saudi Arabia and other Arab allies unless they committed ground troops to the fight against IS terrorists.
Mr Trump also said he would seek to renegotiate many fundamental treaties with American allies, possibly including a 56-year-old security pact with Japan, which he described as one-sided.
He said that Nato was “unfair, economically” to the United States and suggested setting up an alternative organisation focused on counter-terrorism. He argued that the best way to halt China’s placement of military airfields and anti-aircraft batteries on reclaimed islands in the South China Sea was to threaten its access to American markets.
Mr Trump also suggested “take the oil” controlled by IS in the Middle East and acknowledged that this would require deploying ground troops, something he did not favour. (So) now we have to destroy the oil.
He did not rule out spying on American allies, including leaders like Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, whose mobile phone was apparently a target of the National Security Agency.
Mr Trump referred briefly to North Korean and Pakistan while talking about countries that had nuclear weapons and whose weapons could reach non-state actors.
'I alone can solve', Trump says of Lahore terror attack
Donald Trump, known more for his bravado than FOR sound policy statements, did not specifically condemn Sunday's terrorist attack in Lahore's Gulshan-i-Iqbal park, but said on Monday that he alone can solve the issue.
Trump, who has made headlines for spewing anti-Muslim rhetoric during his presidential campaign, tweeted about the 'radical attack' in Lahore targeting Christians, claiming he alone can solve the issue, without clarifying what issue he was referring to.The Republican front-runner.
At least 72 people were killed in the suicide blast on Sunday. The attack was condemned by politicians and celebrities around the world, who took to social media to express sorrow and anger over the tragedy.The real estate tycoon, who is funding his own campaign, has dominated the media spotlight since the start of his campaign due to his bombastic and provocative style.
Trump's first television advertisement created a lot of controversy as it demanded a ban on Muslims entering the United States (US) while vowing to decapitate the militant Islamic State (IS) group.
The Republican front-runner had also promised to build a wall along the Mexican border from Texas to California and expel 11 million people who are in the country illegally if he wins the US election.
Pope Francis, during his visit to Mexico, expressed disapproval for Trump's views by saying that a person who thinks only about building walls and not building bridges, is not Christian.
Asked if American Catholics should vote for someone with Trump's views, Francis had said: "I am not going to get involved in that. I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt," he said.
Trump, however, responded with a Facebook post maintaining that the pope would have wished Trump was president if IS attacked the Vatican.
‘Do everything to stop Donald Trump’, Washington Post advises Republicans
“Nobody cares what they say in their editorials anymore, especially me,” declared Republican front-runner Donald Trump as the world’s three major opinion makers, The Economist, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal find faults in him.
The Post’s editorial board advised the Republican Party on Thursday to “do everything in your power” to stop Mr Trump from winning the party’s nomination. Mr Trump is far ahead of other candidates in the primaries so far held and opinion polls predict that he could win future primaries as well.
THE UNTHINKABLE is starting to look like the inevitable … Donald Trump is likely to be the presidential nominee of the Republican Party.
“At this stage, even an extraordinary effort might fall short. But history will not look kindly on GOP (Republican) leaders who fail to do everything in their power to prevent a bullying demagogue from becoming their standard-bearer”.
WSJ irked Mr Trump by publishing voting statistics, which showed that he has received fewer overall votes in the Republican primary than Hillary Clinton has in the Democratic primary.
“A GOP convention can’t steal something Mr Trump doesn’t own,” wrote the WSJ editorial board. “If Mr Trump can’t win a majority of Republicans, he can’t win a majority of Americans in November.”
WSJ Editorial says, “Clinton primary vote total is 8,646,551. Trump’s is 7,533,692”-a knock. But she had only 3 opponents-I had 16,” Mr Trump tweeted.
“WSJ is bad at math … Apologize,” he wrote, adding: “Please explain to the dummies at the WSJ Editorial Board that I love to debate and have won.” The Post reminds the Republican Party that Mr Trump “admires Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and sees no difference between Mr Putin’s victims and people killed in the defence of the United States.”
Mr Trump, the newspaper adds, “would round up and deport 11 million people, a forced movement on a scale not attempted since Stalin or perhaps Pol Pot.”
The Post also notes that during the course of his campaign, Mr Trump “denigrated women, Jews, Muslims, Mexicans, people with disabilities and many more. He routinely trades in wild falsehoods and doubles down when his lies are exposed.”
The harshest judgment against Mr Trump, however, came from the Economist Intelligence Unit. The research firm warned that he could disrupt the global economy and heighten political and security risks in the US, if elected.
The EIU experts, however, said they did not expect Mr Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton who they see as “his most likely Democratic contender”.
The report rated Mr Trump as riskier than Britain leaving the European Union or an armed clash in the South China Sea.
“Thus far Mr. Trump has given very few details of his policies — and these tend to be prone to constant revision,” the EIU said in its global risk assessment, which looks at impact and probability.
The EIU ranking uses a scale of one to 25, with Mr Trump garnering a rating of 12, the same level of risk as “the rising threat of jihadi terrorism destabilising the global economy”.
Mr Trump “has been exceptionally hostile towards free trade, including notably Nafta, and has repeatedly labelled China as a ‘currency manipulator’,” the EIU said.
It warned that his strong language directed towards Mexico and China “could escalate rapidly into a trade war”. The report notes that Mr Trump wants to build a “big, big wall” on the US-Mexican border and force Mexico to pay for it.
“His militaristic tendencies towards the Middle East and ban on all Muslim travel to the US would be a potent recruitment tool for jihadi groups, increasing their threat both within the region and beyond,” the EIU added.
