Donald Trump’s ‘Mexican’ Comment Goes Beyond Skin Deep

Donald Trump has already blasphemed higher learning and the word “university.”

Now just as he put a © symbol and dubbed a seminar enterprise “Trump University,” he seeks to extend his brand to a possible Trump Presidency©, and if elected, the Trump Constitution©.

It would definitely be a Trump United States©.

He’s already taken over the Republican Party after the capitulation of House Leader Paul Ryan, who last week said he’d vote for Trump.

And now the New York tycoon seems to think the green light is on to say anything he wants, including passing judgment on “Mexicans.” Or perceived Mexicans. Or as he clarified, anybody of Mexican heritage, American or not.

It doesn’t seem to matter if you do anything anti-Trump.

That’s Trump’s thinking regarding U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel of the Federal District Court in San Diego. Curiel is presiding over a class-action lawsuit seeking refunds for people who say Trump University was a rip-off.
