The Burning Of Judas - Max Gaddis 9th period

Mexico has an Easter tradition of burning a representation of Judas the Betrayer on Easter. This year, the figure was Donald Trump. If you aren't familiar, Judas was a disciple of Jesus Christ who sold him to the Romans. Judas later committed suicide due to the crashing reality of, as he believed, "killing" the savior. The representation of Judas changes every year. In the past, it has been everyone from El Chapo, to the Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.

This is one of the greatest things I have discovered. Even people who aren't voting in our election think he's a bad candidate. Mexicans have said that he was picked this year because he is not neighborly towards them.

This is how Nixon lost much of the U.S. and the world because he wasn't very neighborly.
