Trump’s scary
A problem with immigration and a discussion on the matter is one thing. To dehumanize, degrade and disrespect people is a completely different matter.
Donald Trump should look at the gardeners, the people who clean the hotel rooms he frequents, wash the dishes or cook the meals at the restaurants where he eats.
In the Valley, it’s the electricians, plumbers, gardeners, carpenters and roofers. They are hard-working people trying to make better lives for themselves and their families and willing to do the work it takes.
I have had a lot of Hispanic friends through the years, and I am here to stand with them. The scary part is Mr. Trump went up 9% in the polls after that comment. I hope my Hispanic brothers are paying attention to how that side of the fence truly thinks of you.
