The Wall Street Journal reported that during a campaign stop in California, Trump spent a full 12 minutes of a 58-minute speech on an extended tirade focused on the Trump University fraud case. Part and parcel of the racial rant was Trump once again taking particular exception to judge from California, the judges race, and that he was appointed by an African American President; its not too difficult to discern exactly what his objection really is.
One doesnt have to think too hard to surmise that Trumps problem is not necessarily with the Judge from California, his racial heritage, or the sitting President who nominated him; his objection is being challenged for defrauding thousands of Americans. The fact that the Judge is an Hispanic man is just another dog whistle Trump uses to incite his nasty nativist supporters.
The Donald believes, and is ramping up his rhetoric, that because the former federal prosecutor who took on Mexican drug cartels was appointed by President Barack Obama, might be a Hispanic, is a hater, and probably is a Mexican that he is out to get Donald Trump. Worst of all, Trump tells his audience; the California judge should be ashamed of himself. Why? For being a Mexican, not obeying the Donald, and for being a federal judge? A judge, by the way, who was easily confirmed by a voice vote with no opposition whatsoever, not even from Republicans after being nominated by President Obama.

(10,853 posts)We can now anticipate more thoroughly disgusting comments from The Donald because it generates more media attention. Trump surrogates have already announced that the campaign is broke and will need to rely on the RNC for funding after the convention in Cleveland. Between now and then, Trump will use the media frenzy over increasingly bizarre, racist and sexist comments to get his mug on TV. The campaign does not have the funds for conventional ad buys. So . . .
the Mexican judge shout out and whine is just the beginning of Trump's dumping on anyone or anything he dislikes. And the media? They'll eat it up because it's so-o-o good for ratings.
Reality TV at its finest!

(3,284 posts)Trump and his whole campaign are disgusting. I don't know what else to say. At this point, I can't respect anyone who supports Trump; I truly don't believe you can support him and not be racist. How can anyone excuse the disgusting, bigoted remarks he's made?
I'm hispanic the daughter of immigrant parents and everyone in my family that lives in the U.S. LOATHES him. And we're all citizens who will be sure to vote.
