Trujillo described how his lack of legal status made him feel uncertain about what he could accomplish, but how he “had to make the best of my life.” He said he graduated from high school, got married and had two children, now 12 and 5.
He opened a restaurant that he said is struggling due to the high cost of labor and goods, and said he was hopeful Trump would usher in better economic times.
“I’m happy with the opportunity that Trump has again to run and hopefully get us back on track,” Trujillo said. “I think there’s room to make America greater.”
But it’s okay, he’s a citizen now. It happened… let me check… before Trump was president.
“I’ve got mine, fuck you” once again.
“Hispanic people — they say you can’t generalize, but I think you can — they have wonderful entrepreneurship and they have — oh, do you have such energy. Just ease up a little bit, OK? Ease up,” Trump said. “You have great ambition, you have great energy, very smart, and you really do, like natural entrepreneurs.”
It’s always interesting to see his “throw it all at the wall and see what sticks” strategy in action. I imagine it allows his campaign to clip specific lines of his that’ll appeal to whoever they need to appeal to at that moment, then let it disseminate on social media. So a white nationalist might get “blood of our nation”, and an immigrant might get “smart and natural entrepreneurs”.
and then in the next breath he’ll say they’re rapists, murderers, drug dealers, etc
so basically just a complete lack of understanding of inflation and what causes it.
A complete lack of understanding of a lot of things from the sound of it. He’s a former undocumented immigrant who got citizenship under Obama and absolutely would not have gotten citizenship under Trump complaining about immigration and complaining about a lack of staff for his restaurant.
