From Clay Jones on his political cartoon “Deportation Happy Face,” Donald Trump;s so-called Deportation task force, and how Latinos feel about it
I wrote that Donald Trump would go to Mexico and suck up to Mexicans and later that night go to Arizona and bitch about Mexicans. That prediction came true as Trump is promising to start kicking immigrants out of the United States within his first hour of taking office.
My other prediction was that there would be a he-said, he-said after the meeting in Mexico City. Yup, that happened too.
During the little press conference he held with Mexico’s president, Trump said the issue of who pays for his border wall didn’t come up. That’s really freaking bizarre since that’s his core issue. It’s the platform that won him the nomination. It’s the issue that’s gained him so much love from white supremacists and other racist groups.
Later in the day, Mexican president Peña Nieto said he kicked off his meeting with Trump by stating Mexico will not pay for the ridiculous wall. Today, Trump tweeted out how Mexico will pay for the wall, and the Mexican prez tweeted back that that’s not happening. I half expected a Twitter war of “will too, will not, will too, will not, etc.”
It’s not that I’m really good at predictions as much as we know Trump lies. This proves Trump is not only a liar but, like most racists, he’s also a coward.
Speaking of currying favor and love from racist groups, Trump is using the phrase “America First,” and he’s going to give us a “special” deportation task force. You would think if this guy and his supporters don’t want to be compared to Nazis that they’d stop acting like Nazis. I’m surprised he didn’t goose-step out of Mexico.
A lot of people expected Trump to soften his immigration plan. Some of his Latino supporters were so upset over his Arizona speech that they pulled their support. How did Latino Trump supporters not foresee things going badly with a Latino-hating presidential candidate who calls Mexicans rapists and murderers and wants to tear their families apart?
There is good news. One Latino supporter went on MSNBC and warned America that if Hillary Clinton is elected, there will be taco trucks on every corner. We won’t have a Donald Trump presidency and there will be taco trucks everywhere? America really is going to be great again!
Hillary might want to campaign on the taco-truck-on-every-corner platform.
