This is doing no good for Trump keeping it in the news. With the exception of his supporters, this has a circular firing squad of Republicans, even his supporters, around him. I can’t see this helping with independents. We know what he meant.
I don’t think Trump was saying every judge of Mexican or Hispanic ancestry would be unfair. I think that he’s saying this judge is unfair because of his affiliation with this particular La Raza chapter. I know, I know, there are two La Razas. However, this one is listed on their website as a political group, they’ve endorsed candidates, and they also were involved in giving a scholarship to an illegal immigrant. Also, he could bring up the connection with the law firm and Clinton money as well as the judge continuing the case without the original plaintiff, and the judge releasing info that should not be released. If Trump had done it that way instead of just saying that he’s a Mexican/Hispanic, I don’t think we would have had the controversy. The judge might have looked suspicious. Then Trump should have touted the positive reviews and promoted the video of people who liked Trump U.
He should have moved on after that because the bottom line is that the longer this stays in the media and the longer this is out there, the more they will proclaim him a racist (despite the fact that Mexican and Hispanic are not races) and the more dirt journalists will search for on Trump U. The case is after the election, and he should focus his time on touting what he’ll do and hitting Hillary hard, debunking her speech, and exposing every last contradiction and bit of dirt he can find. That’s what most Americans care about, not Trump U.
Because I doubt the judge knew about the Clinton money when he assigned that firm, the opening of files didn’t hurt anything to do with Trump or the University, the judge could very likely be in this group simply to network with other Latino lawyers like all minorities have their own chapters, political affiliation and race has not been held to be legal grounds for recusal, etc. a lot of reasons to drop it..
Yep. I really agree with all that you said.
He needs to argue the facts instead using “labels” in his defense of his situations.
He keep waiting for him to call some world leader a poopey head.
