It doesn’t matter if he didn’t single anybody out. He called a group of talented men SOBs for practicing their right to protest, Edwin was one of the SOBs he was talking about. Maybe just maybe trump should watch what he says about civilians. After his mother who trump called a “B*tch” has time to grieve, I hope she drags trump through the rug
Language matters. If you were testifying in a court case you could not make the statement that Trump called him an SOB. It's not accurate and is intentionally misleading.
You could, as you do above, say he called a group of people SOB's, of which he was a part.
So, why doesn’t Trump ever highlight any of the good works immigrants produce?
It was an ILLEGAL immigrant who had already previously convicted fur drunk driving and ALREADY TWICE DEPORTED. If it takes Trump’s dumb, racist mouth to get illegal immigration under control , then so be it.

He is waiting for the Democrats condemn illegals mowing down Americans left and right. The so-called "good things" are what ordinary people do every day. You don't get browny points by going to work.
In Donald Trump's America, it seems that whenever there is a tragedy that could be tied in any way to an immigrant (like the death of Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson in a fatal accident on Sunday) the President is eager to jump in to damn immigrants in general. He tweeted: "This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!" Never mind that there is no mention of everytime an immigrant starts a business, or saves a life, or fights for our nation on the battlefield.
And what about when our children are repeatedly killed in our schools by gun violence, or when there are hate crimes by white supremacists, then the President almost always is silent as well. I guess in his mind, that's just the way things are?
The rank hypocrisy of this is a stench that stretches over our great land. It is the politics of division, and deflection. It does nothing to prioritize the real threats that face our country. It is about scapegoating and it is in line with some of the most destructive instincts of humanity.
To use tragedy to sow division is the hallmark of a despot. And I think most Americans will see it for what it is.

Conflating the issues at it's best, from a disgraced journalist.
Manuel Orrego-Savala is accused of fatally striking Edwin Jackson and Jeffrey Monroe around 4 a.m. Feb. 4. The two victims were standing outside of their vehicle.
First, Jeffrey Monroe is just as important to his family as Edwin Jackson is to his. Had Edwin Jackson not been involved in this incident, no one would have likely given a damn about it Except President Trump.
Second, the president is not eager to jump in and damn immigrants. He is however, eager to jump in and damn "illegal" immigrants as they should not be here in the first place. In the case of Mr. Orrego-Salvala, he has been deported twice. However, he found his way back to the USA.
Third, every person in a leadership position that has allowed the free-flow of illegal immigrants across any border is complicit in the deaths of Jeffrey Monroe and Edwin Jackson. Had they been concerned in fulfilling their Constitutional obligations more so than establishing a future block of voters, this would not have happened.
No American citizen on American soil should ever be at risk from an "illegal" immigrant. Period.
So, why doesn’t Trump ever highlight any of the good works immigrants produce?
"Immigrants"? What kind of "highlighting" do you want? that LEGAL immigrants follow the law, wait their turn, learn English, and become Americans? I believe Trump has mentioned that before..
