Will migrants 'get a luxury car?'
CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota and Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, on Monday got in a heated debate while discussing the migrant caravan that is moving toward the U.S.-Mexico border.
Camerota accused President Trump of needing to have a "fact check" on his rhetoric on immigration :
“Next thing you know, they’ll want to buy ‘em a car,” Trump said, adding that maybe it will be a Rolls-Royce.
Schlapp disagreed with the characterization saying the president has "proven to be durably correct" about the U.S. immigration system.
Camerota interrupted to ask about Trump's car comments. "Will you get a luxury car?" she asked. "Matt, you don't get a Rolls-Royce. You don't get a luxury car," she said, interrupting him. "George Soros doesn't meet you at the border, handing out millions of dollars. All of this stuff- "

The Silver Cloud was one of the early major vintage cars young Trump purchased. Photos of him with it, perched proudly on it in front of a palm-lined drive, are all over the internet.
The highly collectible V8 Silver Cloud was the signature car Rolls-Royce made from 1955 to 1966—it was the car in the production chronology between the Silver Dawn and the Silver Shadow. The car had a four-speed automatic transmission and a top speed of more than 100 mph, which at the time was top notch, especially for six cylinders. RM Sotheby’s sold a droptop version of one for more than $1.3 million at its Amelia Island auction in March, though a coupe took far less—$264,000—in 2015.

This was one of the last cars Trump got to drive regularly before assuming presidential office. The $500,000 sedan is currently Rolls’s biggest ride, with a massive V12, 453-horsepower engine and a butter-smooth, six-speed transmission.
Virtually all of the cars are heavily bespoked on purchase, and Trump’s black one was likely no different. The standard models offer seating for four or five, with thick lambswool carpeting, a cocoon-quiet cabin, and umbrellas inserted in the heavy, standard-issue, wood-paneled doors.
The '56 Silver Cloud is actually pretty high-class. It's out of character for Trump.
