During a speech at the Latino Coalition Legislative Summit on Wednesday afternoon, President Donald Trump parroted his typical talking points about immigration and legislation to restore protections under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Speaking to the group dedicated to Hispanic small business owners, Trump touted his efforts to cut taxes and reduce regulations before turning his sights on immigration. The President then touted his push for a “merit-based” immigration system and claimed that many Latinos believe that immigration to the U.S. should be determined by skill level.
“This is the mainstream view of all Americans, including Latinos,” Trump said.
He then blamed Congress’ failure to pass legislation to restore DACA — an executive action that he unwound as president — on Democrats.
He told the audience that Democrats “don’t care about our immigration system” and only want to used immigration issues to “get elected.” He then encouraged members of the Latino Coalition to push Democrats to pass DACA legislation.
“This is our moment. Go get DACA. Go push those Democrats,” he said.
Aaaaaand did anyone in the room other than Trump believe that drivel?
Of course he did.
And in the short part of the speech they showed on MSNBC, he also said some crap about how Latinos like “adventure.” What the hell was that about? I expected him to say that the proof was how much they all like jumping walls and swimming rivers to get into the US illegally.
Verbal incontinence signalling nothing but his own empty-mindedness. Go eat a taco salad, dotard.
Betcha twenty bucks he’s thinking about Zorro.
ETA no but honestly, that’s just weird. There’s no association with Hispanics I can think of, no matter how stereotypical or offensive, that would prompt you to say that.
Donald, Donald … Donald. You must need to pop a pill or something – you’re off your game. You can troll better than that. Lame!
