Trump blasted judge in Trump U case "who happens to be, we believe, Mexican."

The judge is from Indiana.


“We’re in front of a very hostile judge,” Mr. Trump said. “The judge was appointed by Barack Obama, federal judge. Frankly, he should recuse himself because he’s given us ruling after ruling after ruling, negative, negative, negative.”

Mr. Trump also told the audience, which had previously chanted the Republican standard-bearer’s signature “build that wall” mantra in reference to Mr. Trump’s proposed wall along the Mexican border, that Judge Curiel is “Mexican.”

“What happens is the judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great. I think that’s fine,”
Mr. Trump said.

Judge Curiel was born in Indiana.

“I think Judge Curiel should be ashamed of himself,” Mr. Trump said. “I’m telling you, this court system, judges in this court system, federal court, they ought to look into Judge Curiel. Because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace, OK? But we’ll come back in November. Wouldn’t that be wild if I’m president and I come back to do a civil case? Where everybody likes it. OK. This is called life, folks.”

near Mexico, isn't it?

Well, kind of near.

Ok, not that close actually.

Trump has ringmastered racist and ethnic slurs and it's got him a lot of attention. It appears even to have gotten him the GOP nomination. He's a low-life pandering to his party's low-life base.

But I think the formula isn't going to work for the general. I think Air Trump is about to encounter electoral turbulence.
