Playing the race card - Trump on criticizing Mexican immigrants: 'Peanuts' compared to the truth

Trump appeared(?) to double down on comments he made calling Mexican immigrants “rapists” during a rally on Thursday night.

“And you remember what I said?” Trump asked the crowd at the Pennsylvania rally, referring back to his campaign announcement, during which he made critical comments about Mexican immigrants.

“They’re sending, I mentioned words – I won’t even mention them tonight because there’s a lot of young people here — but I mentioned words and everyone thought it was wonderful.”

“And then about two days later and people said, ‘did he say this, did he say that?’” Trump said.

“Guess what,” he continued, “what I said is peanuts compared to what turns out to be the truth. It’s peanuts.”

But print media it fact checking his ass off everytime he makes a claim. That is why I am having a difficult time rushing to the aid of people like Jim Costa, they created the monster that now seeks to consume them.
