Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday that his party’s nominee knows that he must inject a little “humanity” into his rhetoric if he hopes to win the presidency.
MSNBC host Chuck Todd asked Priebus if Donald Trump had recently somewhat moderated his tone on immigration because he realized Latino voters may be put off by his calls to deport undocumented immigrants en masse.
“What I think is that Donald Trump understands that with every position that is taken and as you get closer to the White House, a degree of humanity and decency is part of every decision that needs to be made,” the RNC chair replied.
“And I know Donald Trump. I know Donald Trump in private, I talk to him every day,” Priebus continued. “I know what he’s thinking about a lot of these issues and this is a good and decent man that wants to do the right thing and wants to take every position that he’s talking about and pepper it with decency, dignity and humanity.”
Trump and his staffers’ contradictory claims about his immigration policies have sowed confusion over the past two weeks. As of late August he still planned to deport millions of immigrants living without papers and build a wall on the US-Mexico border.
Though Priebus said he is in daily communication with Trump, he declined to clarify the details of the Republican nominee’s plan.
“You’re going to have to ask him,” Priebus said, when asked if Trump still planned to end birthright citizenship.
Trump is scheduled to give his much-anticipated address on immigration in Arizona on Wednesday.
Trump is a sociopath with Daddy Issues. Not only does he not have an ounce of humanity, but neither does his homophobic running mate. We’ve already had one sociopath with Daddy Issues as President. We really, really do not need another.
I have begun to classify articles that start with “Rince Pubis says” as “the funnies” – something I start my day with for a good laugh.
Because they are always out there in CartoonTrumpWorld…
I’d like to see an ad about the time this great humanitarian took away the health insurance from his nephew’s son, a chronically ill infant, during a family dispute over Trump Sr.'s will. Charming stuff, really heartwarming.
Sorry, “Degree of Humanity” is not available from Trump University
HO will turn on you in a heartbeat if you cross him. Like the phrase from The Equalizer, HO considers you no more than he would “a piece of lint or a bottle-cap”. But, you already know this, coward.
