The Racist Subconscious of the GOP
#DonaldTrump: The Racist Subconscious of the GOP. This is why most of the GOP members are running away from him…he is exposing the truth of the GOP. Where is the GOP’s Latino and Black outreach? #EPICFAIL. GONE. Thank you Donald for being you and exposing the #GOP and sharing such bigotry with all Americans and beyond. Your party should run like roaches and rats when the lights are turned on!
Trump ‘can’t guarantee’ legal status of his own workers
Trump ‘can’t guarantee’ legal status of his own workers
Watch Anderson Cooper’s interview with Donald Trump at 8 p.m. ET on “Anderson Cooper 360.”
(CNN)Donald Trump says he “can’t guarantee” that all of the workers he employs have legal status in the United States, and warned that if he were to discover any illegal immigrants working for him, “We would get rid of them immediately.”
In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, the billionaire businessmen and Republican presidential candidate addressed questions about a recent Washington Post report that said there are illegal immigrants working at the Old Post Office Pavilion construction site in Washington, which Trump is converting into a luxury hotel.
Speaking at the Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, Trump said that the buck “absolutely” stops with him and that he wished the Post article had named the alleged illegal workers so he could take prompt action.
“We have gone out of our way to make sure that everybody in that building is legal,” he said. “I wish they would give us some names, we would get them out immediately.”
RELATED: Immigration is the debate Republicans don’t want
Trump, who announced his bid for the Republican Party’s nomination for president last month, has faced furious national backlash after remarking that he believes some immigrants that come into the U.S. from countries like Mexico were “rapists.” He has since repeatedly stood by those comments.
In the wide-ranging interview with CNN, Trump also addressed a racially charged tweet this week that has been heavily criticized.
Trump retweeted the message: “#JebBush has to like the Mexican Illegals because of his wife.”
According to The Wrap, which captured a screen grab of the tweet, the tweet was soon deleted.
Trump said in the CNN interview that he had never authorized that retweet but was unapologetic.
“Do I regret it? No, I don’t regret it,” Trump said.
He said that he believed the immigration stance of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who is also running for president, may be influenced by his wife’s background.
“If he loves his wife and she’s from Mexico, I think it probably has an influence on him, yes. I can understand that.” Trump said.
In a separate interview with NBC News, Trump blasted the conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer — who called Trump a “rodeo clown” — as an “a totally overrated person.”
After slamming his other critics, Trump appeared to invoke Krauthammer’s use of a wheelchair.
“And then I get called by a guy that can’t buy a pair of pants, I get called names? Give me a break,” he said.

Donald Trump: ‘I Will Win the Latino Vote’. (WE ARE NOT VOTING FOR YOU.)
Donald Trump: ‘I Will Win the Latino Vote’
Donald Trump said Wednesday that he believes he will win the Latino vote, slamming Hillary Clinton for promoting what he called an immigration policy that would “let everybody come in… killers, criminals, drug dealers.”
“I have a great relationship with the Mexican people. I have many people working for me – look at the job in Washington – I have many legal immigrants working with me. And many of them come from Mexico. They love me, I love them,” the 2016 GOP contender said in an interview with NBC News. “And I’ll tell you something, if I get the nomination, I’ll win the Latino vote.”
Trump said that “there’s nothing to apologize for” in relation to his controversial comments about Mexico, arguing that he’ll win the support of Latinos because of his record creating jobs.
“Hillary Clinton is not going to be able to create jobs, I will tell you right now,” he said. “Neither is Jeb Bush going to be able to create jobs. I will create jobs and the Latinos will have jobs that they don’t have right now. And I will win that vote.”
He added that Hillary Clinton’s immigration policy would be to “let everybody come in… killers, criminals, drug dealers.”
“Hillary’s weak on immigration,” he said. “I might be divisive on immigration, but she’s weak on immigration, which is far worse.”

Trump: Hillary Clinton ‘Worst Secretary of State’ In U.S. History 0:28
“If you listen to Hillary, she is so weak on immigration, we will have a crime rate like you’ve never seen,” he added.
Trump also labeled Clinton “the worst secretary of state in the history of our nation.”
“The world blew up around us,” he said of her tenure at the helm of the State Department.
The real estate mogul continued to state that he will build an “impenetrable” wall between the United States and Mexico and that he would “make” the Mexican government foot the bill.
“Mexico’s making a fortune off the United States,” he said. “I would get them to pay for the wall. Believe me.”
Trump dismissed the idea that his business has been hurt by companies backing away from him as a result of his controversial comments. Macy’s, Serta, NBC Universal and Univision have announced that they’ve severed business ties with him.
“This is too important. Yeah, I’m losing some contracts. Who cares?” he said. “They’re weak and they want to be politically correct. Some of them have already apologized to me and said they made a mistake.”
Trump was also asked about a Washington Post report that quoted undocumented immigrants working on his hotel project in Washington, D.C.
“We have a very strong system,” he replied, saying that the newspaper did not reference any of the workers by name. “I have a contractor that is one of the biggest in the nation, they’re doing it. So far, they’re doing a very good job. We have a very strong verification system.”
In a statement, Trump’s campaign said:
Trump International Hotel, Washington DC has hired Lend Lease, a globally recognized construction management firm, to oversee construction at the Old Post Office and requires all contractors performing work at the project to follow all applicable federal, state and local laws. Our contractors are required to have prospective employees produce documentation that establishes identity and employment eligibility in compliance with immigration law. Lend Lease and the Trump Organization have worked on many large development projects together and have always used best in class practices above and beyond what is required by law.”
Trump’s controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants came during his unscripted announcement speech last month.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best,” he said during the speech. “They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting.”
NBC Universal announced on June 29 that it was cutting ties with Trump as a result of the comments.
“At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values,” NBC’s statement read. “Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump.”

OUTRAGEOUS Things Donald Trump Has Said About Latinos & Women
How can a person with such condescending attitude be considered the next president of America?
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you.They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people. – Donald Trump
It would be a shame . . . I will say that people who are following me are very passionate. They love this country and they want this country to be great again. They are passionate. – Donald Trump, quoted by the Washington Post, when told of an assault of a homeless Hispanic man in Boston.
But you have people coming in and I’m not just saying Mexicans, I’m talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they’re coming into this country. – Donald Trump
The Mexican government is much smarter, much sharper, much more cunning. And they send the bad ones over because they don’t want to pay for them. They don’t want to take care of them. – Donald Trump
Somebody’s doing the raping, Don! I mean somebody’s doing it! Who’s doing the raping? Who’s doing the raping? – Donald Trump
Rosie O’Donnell is disgusting — both inside and out. If you take a look at her, she’s a slob. How does she even get on television? If I were running The View, I’d fire Rosie. I’d look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers and say, “Rosie, you’re fired.” We’re all a little chubby but Rosie’s just worse than most of us. But it’s not the chubbiness — Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out. – Donald Trump
Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics-a tough subject-must be discussed. – Donald Trump
