Well, this is sure to bring Latinos surging to his cause and increase his chances in the GE! LOL!
Trump insisted today hes won much of the case, saying that we have a very hostile judge. And then he actually said this:
The judge should have thrown the case out on summary judgment. But because it was me and because theres a hostility toward me by the judge, tremendous hostility, beyond beliefI believe he happens to be Spanish, which is fine, hes Hispanic, which is fine, and we havent asked for a recusal, which we may do, but we have a judge whos very hostile.
Trump is presumably referring to US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who ruled back in July that Trump must disclose his net worth in a case involving the people who sued Trump U for being a scam.

Obviously a rapist, murderer, and jobs-thief?
Oh wait, the judge took that job away from an American. You know, a real American.
Trump really dug himself a big shithole to be dumped into.

One who's white, male, right wing, and prone to accepting bribes? Wait a minute, that guy is dead now!
