Donald Trump: A Mexican-American's take on businessman's clownish presidential bid
Fox News ^ | June 24, 2015 | Ruben Navarrette

Recently, in Mexico, the candidates for mayor of the Mexican city of Guadalajara included a famous Mexican clown named Lagrimita.

And in the United States, now that Donald Trump has filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission, the ranks of Republican presidential hopefuls expanded to include an anti-Mexican clown.

“The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems,” Trump said to supporters at Trump Tower where the real estate mogul declared his bid for the GOP nomination. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best…They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Given those remarks, it’s too bad we can’t say the same about Trump. As a candidate, he has “lots of problems.” Besides Mexico, the billionaire fired away at China, Japan, South America, and the Middle East. Despite pitching himself as a new kind of candidate, he favors an old fashioned 20th Century protectionism where U.S. companies have to manufacture products within our borders or face confiscatory tariffs and taxes....

Navarette is a Mexican supremacist and bigot. I find it hard to believe his twaddle shows up here.

Navarette lost his column with the San Diego Union-Tribune years ago because of his anti-white/anti-American positions. He is a piece of work. I do believe with change of ownership they are once again running his screed.

Trump is not anti-Mexican. He is anti-illegal immigrant though. Trump has quite a few good points and I hope he is included in the debates so that the other candidates will be forced to address those issues.

Lawless Obama has lowered the bar on POTUS to the extent that I don’t see why people are complaining about Donald Trump.

This “clown’s” message might just resonate with Americans, once they can get passed the “You’re fired!” bravado and the bad comb-over.

Many Americans, I believe, are tired of the invasion from our southern border by people who don’t respect our laws or us and enabled by the Ruling Class who refuse to enforce our laws.

They are tired of seeing “Made in China” on nearly every product in this country.

And they are tired of losing opportunities to provide for their families because companies are relocating outside of the U.S. for cheaper labor.

I know I am tired of these things. But I’m not sure I’d want to throw my support behind The Donald. I don’t trust the guy.

Navarette is infuriating. His screeds turn up in all the big socialist rags in NJ, The Star-Ledger, The Jersey Journal and The Asbury Park Press. He’s made sure like all those who can that he got his ass out of Mexico as fast as he could and by God he’d sooner die then have to go back. The guy’s a hypocrite of the highest order.

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best…They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.”

You mean he is trying to deny that fact?

I mean, is Trump hatred so great that people have to go across the border to find an “objective” analysis to bolster their own venom.

In the meltdown at Murrieta, it was the chanting of “USA, USA” that was most offensive,

The anti-American POS Navarrette believes Americans chanting "USA" on American soil is offensive. That should tell anyone all they need to know about Ruben Navarrette.

Will Mr. Trump answer his critics?

Or will he leave their propaganda out there as the last word, like other Republicans do?

When don’t Mexicans emigrate to Spain? After-all, Spain caused most of their problems.
