Son of a Trump: Mexican comedians hit back at Donald Trump in insult-laden show

Son of a Trump: Mexican comedians hit back at Donald Trump in insult-laden show

Decked out in dark suits and outlandish blond wigs, a clutch of Mexico's most popular comedians lambasts Donald Trump as a dangerous buffoon in a new play that hits back over his anti-Mexican comments on the U.S. election campaign trail.

. . .

When he entered the presidential race in June, Donald Trump thundered against Mexico and its undocumented migrants in the United States, dismissing them as rapists and drug runners.

Since then, the controversial billionaire and front-runner for the Republican nomination has advocated deporting millions and even criticized rival Jeb Bush for speaking Spanish in public.

Trump’s comments helped propel him to the front of the Republican field but have caused offense south of the border, where about a third of all Mexicans have relatives living in the United States.

The new show, “Sons of Trump,” kicks off with a massive image of his grinning face projected onto a $100 bill before a voice in a heavy American accent bellows: “Welcome, frijoleros!” an anti-Mexican slur meaning “beaners”, or “bean lovers.”
