Trump Piñata

Ostensia Bonilla, the 56-year-old sales manager at a party supply shop in downtown Mexico City, has lived in the United States. She moved to Illinois in 2007 with her daughter but, after two years, decided to leave.

“I was worried about the crowd she was hanging out with,” she said. “There were too many people selling and using drugs in her circle.”

And like that, the family moved back, to avoid the very thing Mr. Trump has proclaimed that all of Mexico suffers.

“Of course, we do have drug problems,” she conceded, resting her hands on a wooden box filled with candy. “And Mr. Trump has a right to free speech.”

“But we aren’t the ones using the drugs,” she said. “The addicts are in America.”
