has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.” “When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity and now they are beating us economically. Brace yourself because it is not going to be pretty. The following are some instances where Donald Trump insults the Latinx community. It’s okay if you don’t believe he’s ever insulted Latinx people, there’s proof. You would think this would stop him from insulting anyone, but this could possibly be encouraging him more. This includes his tweets at odd hours of the morning. Everything he does (or anyone for that matter) is constantly getting documented and saved. Technology is going to make sure of that. The problem with the many outrageous comments Trump makes against Latinx people is that they are going to haunt the United States forever. Or maybe he’s just intimidated by the greatness of our beautiful culture. Perhaps he Trump is still bothered by the fact that most Latinx people voted Democratic in the last elections. After all, Latinx/Hispanic make up a great portion of the United States population and we significantly contribute to the economy. It’s hard to understand why Donald Trump and his administration have made it feel as though they are attacking the Latinx community. I’ll even go as far as saying that his “blunt” attitude has taken him to insult the Latinx community and that should not be acceptable. ![]() Even though his fans are fascinated by his “say it how it is” attitude, there are times he takes it too far. Whether or not he is against Latinx people, there is no denying that the subject of Trump versus Latinos has been controversial since 2016. ![]() But the nightmare continues.“Nobody loves the Hispanics more,” Donald Trump said at a New Mexico rally back in September, but does he really? The reality is that being Latinx in the United States feels a bit different lately. And most important of all, the people of Puerto Rico deserve better than that. I shouldn't have to write an article about the President of the United States - Democrat, Republican or anything else - and have to figure out ways of transcribing a crude racist joke for my readers. And whose 2016 presidential campaign, lest it be forgotten, was kicked off with racist remarks about undocumented Mexican immigrants. Sure, the crowd laughed at his joke - he's the leader of the most powerful country in the world and is well known to have a thin skin, so who wouldn't? - but that doesn't make it any less offensive, particularly coming from a man whose idea of expressing empathy to Latinx people whose lives have been destroyed is to toss paper towels at them. Trump says Puerto Rico in an affected Spanish accent three times in a row. Puh-werto Rico! And we also love Puerto Rico." "We are also praying for the people of Puh-werto Rico. But that raises the question: How do I accurately transcribe the difference between when he said Puerto Rico's name while ridiculing it and when he did not? Lest you think this was an accident, he mocked the American commonwealth's name not once, not twice, but three times in a row - and then, for good measure, pronounced it without the mockery, just in case you were still unsure that it was his intention to ridicule a people who are still reeling from a devastating natural disaster.Īt this point, my job as a journalist is to transcribe what Trump said for you the reader. You see, during a speech about the devastation in Puerto Rico caused by Hurricane Maria, President Donald Trump decided to mock the name "Puerto Rico" by saying it in a stereotypical Spanish accent. While I could just ignore the details about that challenge and instead dispassionately describe the events that occurred, I think explaining the nature of the obstacle that arose sheds light on the deeper problem that this story reveals. ![]() Writing this story presented me with an unexpected challenge.
