That would depend on your definition of contained. Acquired in the first place would be the definition here. Ah, I was thinking like carefully locked up in the hotel safe.

Mexicans torch Donald Trump effigy during annual Easter eve celebrations
Chicago Times
Quote: Who would you build, if you had to make a monster of mythical proportions? An evil equal to a Biblical scourge? A traitor to be burned in effigy whose fiery demise would cleanse our corrupted souls?
In Mexico, that would be Donald J. Trump. (J for Judas?)
Or at least a 10-foot tall papier-mache version of him: eyes wide, mouth agape, with painted-on business suit and golden mane. On Saturday night, just as every year on the day before Easter, Mexicans gathered on street-corners and church squares to celebrate the holy week and set fire to their Judases, a popular ritual in this heavily Catholic country. Those demons are typically forked-tongue devils and flaming dragons, and often reviled politicians.
"For Latinos here and in the U.S., he's a danger, a real threat," said Leonardo Linares, a 52-year-old artist who built a Trump effigy over the past week in his Mexico City studio. "He's a good man to burn as a Judas." ... And lots more to the article.
An interesting cultural tradition I hadn't known about before.

Last I checked burning effigies isn't a part of celebrating Easter...

Come on now, we all know that bunnies poop out multi-colored eggs, usually hard-boiled, on the Sunday that happens to coincide with the Christian holiday Easter.
Gawd, where have you guys been? Canada?

I think Mexico should worry about Mexico not Donald Trump.

Many people claim to be anti-trump publicly, but are really voting for him when it comes booth time. This is all out of fear of being labeled something. All I can say is dont just listen to the media because they have their own agendas and political involvements. The media is a very dirty business. Trust your gut as to what this entire country needs and vote for what you believe is right.

His wall is looking better with all the bombings and mass death overseas.
All it's going to take is one incident like that in the US and they may as well swear him in the next day.

And not San Bernardino level either.

Same way you make the connection that guns kill people. Your side is the group that preys on fear.
Personally, I just want illegals out of the country (and kept out), come in legally I got no problem.
Don't care how it gets done. "The Fear Wall™" is just something to get behind (pun intended).

One bomb in a crowed area will get "The Fear Wall™" built. Will probably destroy the democrat and republican parties as well. They are barley holding on as it is.

So no rational connection between a wall and terrorism and no thought into the logistics of building it or how effective it would even be. Must support it because reasons.

Looks like Trump's wall has a lot in common with things Bernie Sanders is proposing.

Thanks for the deflection.
So, yes, what's the point of this wall?

Quote: US TV network NBC is cutting ties with Donald Trump over "recent derogatory statements" that the veteran businessman made about immigrants.
NBC said the company would now not be airing the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that are co-owned by Mr Trump.
Responding to the announcement, Mr Trump said he would consider suing NBC.
Earlier this month, he accused Mexicans of adding drugs and crime to the US as he announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards, and they tell us what we are getting," he said in his speech on 16 June.
He also pledged to build a "great wall" on the US border with Mexico and insisted it would be paid for by Mexicans.
He later insisted he was criticising US lawmakers, not Mexican people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33321290
I'm honestly surprised with some of the shit he says. Even though I probably shouldn't be.
