There, it wasn't that hard to provide for you.

At a minimum this is monumentally stupid and prejudicial, which is not far from racism.
yes mr trump said something. lets dissect it.


the judge is from Ill. born in America. That settles it right? no "Mexican" there.


however... The judges parents immigrated from Mexico. The Judge is part of a group that is linked to helping illegals get to the USA and stay here.


The fact is, this judge is part of a group of people that are really really mad at Donald Trump because he wants to stop illegal immigration from Mexico.


Not a racist coment at all considering the situation.


and Mexican isn't a race. its a nationality.






you are wrong. it wasn't racist. it was reflection of reality.

PS one of the things this judge did was allow the group suing trump to replace one of its main complaintants. Why you ask? because this person suing Trump over Trump U being a scam is on record PRAISING TRUMP U....


That alone is suspect in my eyes and would make me look at this judges associations.

However, I don't think he would be a good President. Trump is the king of his ego-driven Trump-world businesses. In our system the President has to share power and work with a Judiciary and a Legislature: Best Case Scenario - Trump is ineffectual while making lots of noise but doesn't really accomplish much; Worst Case - He damages our constitutional democracy and economy.
The worse case is he starts something, we can not finish ... as CIC. Say the wrong thing to the right person ... sparks will fly.

I think it needs to be a forum sticky it gets repeated so much
to start with that's correct it isn't.




but more importantly is LOOKING AT THE JUDGE and looking at his associations and his identifications.




The judge has identified him as very much aligned with those who are anti-trump BECAUSE of Trumps commitment to ending illegal immigration from Mexico.


That was the heart of Trumps point. The entire quote in context makes that clear.


but Trump doesn't use the precise language of a lying politician to pretty stuff up. that doesn't make his imprecise language "racist" it makes it kind of normal.




and Trump is right about this judge.

I almost want trump to win so he can start a race and class war, which will lead to an overuse of resources and lack of production, which may then lead to a 10 year long recession, which may then lead to everyone having a drop in income and being poor, which ultimately may then inevitably lead to a spike in theft and violence. Then when we turn into eastern europe, headlines will say, "collapse of the western world?"

Because we have 2,500 nuclear weapons and the next most country, britain, has about 300, the only way we will collapse will be internal. Trump will be the catalyst!!!

People don't hate Trump for being outspoken. Lots of people are outspoken. People hate him because of the WORDS coming out of his mouth, the way he THINKS. His brain is filled with half truths, out-right lies and word-salads and he loves to egg on the haters to build up his own ego.

I don't like Trump because the stuff that comes out of his mouth is stupid.

Leftists have been loud mouths for decades, not just recently because of Trump.

As for "racial slurs and misogyny"... Total nonsense.

the same people that hate trump are perfectly fine with Elizabeth Warren pasing herself off as an indian.




the same people are perfectly fine with Hillary Clinton saying things like "a woman who says she was raped deserves to be believed"




sorry Wayland Woman you just aren't right.


Trump is hated for not being a progressive.

so gimme an example of 1 thing he has said or done that is racist and lets see.


There are tons of articles with quoted comments on Trump before he was ever in the running for the Presidential spot.


Here's a couple.......


He refused to rent to black tenants in NY... (was sued twice)


His hotel in NJ was sued in 1992 for racial discrimination because he would have black card dealers removed from the floor when certain high rollers came in at their request.


"And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”


He was sued again in 1996 for refusing to hire blacks to his casino on Lake Michigan.


Every time he mentions a minority group he labels them as "the" hispanics, or "the" blacks, or "the" Asians, etc....




Look, I hate that he is doing it because I believe we need someone not afraid to speak out against those currently in power and hope that he will at least right a couple of foul policies in place if he can and I absolutely believe undocumented illegal immigrants need to be deported but he is doing it at the expense of further segregating our country. It's the way he is going about his speeches that bothers me, not (most) of the ideals behind them.

I honestly believe that Trump loses control when under pressure. Jake Tapper on Face the Nation asked him a simple question, and look what happened, it was a total melt down and all that crap crap just poured out of him.

How is he going to cope when he debates Hilary? not very well I think.
