“#198 he blasted Mitts immigration proposal in 12 claiming it was mean. You must have missed that little event. /s”
I am sorry, can you give this more context?
Mitt was running for pres in 12, trump publicly said his proposed immigration policy was mean to Mexicans and would cost him the Hispanic vote.
It’s public knowledge you can find it if you really wanted to know or admit it.... but you already know that Don’ t you?
It was from an interview by NewsMax in 2012 with Trump:

Donald Trump: Mean-Spirited GOP Won’t Win Elections
“The Democrats didn’t have a policy for dealing with illegal immigrants, but what they did have going for them is they weren’t mean-spirited about it,” Trump says. “They didn’t know what the policy was, but what they were is they were kind.”
Romney’s solution of “self deportation” for illegal aliens made no sense and suggested that Republicans do not care about Hispanics in general, Trump says.
“He had a crazy policy of self deportation which was maniacal,” Trump says. “It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote,” Trump notes. “He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”
The GOP has to develop a comprehensive policy “to take care of this incredible problem that we have with respect to immigration, with respect to people wanting to be wonderful productive citizens of this country,” Trump says.
