If you're going to slam him for speaking a foreign language then at least correctly identify it as "Spanish" and not "Mexican". I doubt Cuban-Americans think they speak "Mexican" at home.
I've heard Spanish in Spain and in Mexico. In Mexico, except for the educated classes, you might as well call it Mexican. Put it this way: Start talking to them in Castilian and they will look up at you, puzzled.

Darn right they don't. They speak Spanish.
“If you’re going to slam him for speaking a foreign language then at least correctly identify it as “Spanish” and not “Mexican”. I doubt Cuban-Americans think they speak “Mexican” at home.”
Actually there is a difference. Mexicans speak many different dialects, some less formal and educated than the original Spanish.
The “speaking Mexican” comment wasn’t tweeted by Trump. It was tweeted by one of his supporters.
Bashing Trump because of this comment doesn’t make any sense.

I did not identify any specific foreign language. I was referring to the principle, not the detail.
Hate to break it to you, Dawg, but Cuban is a LOT closer to Mexican "Spanish" than to "Spain" Spanish.
In fact, all Latin American countries' "Spanish" have many common and unique words and expressions incomprehensible to other "Latin countries" two countries removed.
I have no idea of the education level of Jeb's imported Mexican wife but, personal experience tells me that what Jeb speaks is most probably Mexican Spanish.
