Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump debated the use of the term “anchor baby” with a reporter at a press conference in New Hampshire on Wednesday.

Trump was asked, “You said that you have a big heart, and that you’re not mean-spirited. Are you aware that the term ‘anchor baby,’ that’s an offensive term? People find that hurtful.”

A fool enters the lion’s den... And the big cat chomped the head off.

So? Call them Concrete Boots Babies.

Trump responded, “You mean it’s not politically correct, and yet everybody uses it?” He then suggested the reporter give him a different term to use, to which the reporter suggested “The American-born [children] of undocumented immigrants.” Trump said in response, “I’ll use the word ‘anchor baby.'”

LOL!

[Don Corleone]

And they wonder why the Donald is at the top.

[Red Steel]

LoL.

[Uncle Miltie]

Call the waaahhhhmbulance

If he continues on this path, there will come a time when he won’t be asked much of anything other than policy questions.

That reporter probably thought he had him. And then get bitch slapped in front of everyone. Pretty soon, they’ll be daring each other or having to draw the short straw, only to have themselves verbally bitch-slapped like that.

That’s why he’ll get my vote...I guess I’m a simple man ;)

[Jane Long]

Saw this glorious smack down on his LIVE presser. BOOM.

[Tennessee Nana]

Trump wont apologize or back down...

[Conscience of a Conservative]

Do you think the reporter even thinks he got slapped down? He went looking for an “inflammatory” statement, and got what he wanted.

[Carl Vehse]

Instead of “reporter” the article should have used the preferred and more accurate term, “fifth-column leftist media skank.”

Suck it up buttercup.

I’m liking Mr. Trump a little more every day.

Do you think the reporter even thinks he got slapped down?

One of my pet peeves is dealing with someone with a below average IQ who clearly -- CLEARLY -- thinks they are the smartest person in the room at all times. I think many (most) journalists fall into this category.

Trump is a rare example of a public figure who is willing to expose the stupidity of the I'm-so-smart club.

But, typically, the journalist will walk away thinking: "I sure showed him!"

[Empire View]

The amazing thing is that for decades, GOP politicians have made a great effort to avoid using commonly spoken terms like “anchor baby” and “illegal aliens,” but still got called racist incessantly. Trump just ignores it and nothing happens to him. He doesn’t get struck down by a thunder bolt from the sky.

[jimmyray]

I’m with you!

[fivecatsandadog]

Another “sensitive” fool who can’t handle the ugly reality of real life.

[smokingfrog]

It’s only a pejorative if you’re a law breaker.
