I know Trump is lying about countries emptying their prisons and mental hospitals to allow emigration to the US. But I’m wondering how he came up with this. Is there _any_ evidence or any such thing happening even once that he’s basing this on? ---

I see in the news this morning that Ol’ Asshat is whining because his donors are getting tired of writing checks so he can jet around the country on what has to be a very expensive plane to operate and maintain. They’re probably also annoyed that he can’t stick to policy and insists on rambling nonsense and lies to entertain his audiences while nearby he’s pimping his latest made-in-China crap. ---

Or are they just going to assume that the person is a perpetrator of Trump’s “Migrant Crime”—and act according to the instructions their god-king has given them? Why do “Latinos for Trump” exist, in the face of this obvious provocation to violence against them? (It’s an actual organization, with leaders who need to explain WHY Trump’s hate-speech is okay by them.) The only thing that comes to mind to explain all this is the siloed media. Maybe the vast majority of pro-Trump Spanish-speaking Americans experience **only** right-wing outlets that never report on Trump’s remarks? That carefully censor this particular Trump rally and all similar ones? So that they simply are not aware of what he says? ---
