Mexican artisan launches Donald Trump pinata

MEXICO CITY

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 the border city of 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."

During his presidential campaign kickoff speech Tuesday, Trump accused Mexican immigrants of bringing drugs, crime and rapists to the U.S.

It isn't the first pinata the Ramirez store has made of a controversial figure. Avalos Ramirez said he made Miley Cyrus models after the singer used a Mexican flag against her buttocks prosthesis during a show in 2014.

His mouth is too wide. Trump's mouth makes a tiny, weird little "O" when he speaks. Like this: tblue37 Jun 2015 #4

How deliciously appropriate on the part of this artist. A hollow shell. One could not describe the Dumpster more accurately.
