Donald Trump keeps harping on what he believes is a love affair between himself and “the Hispanics.”<\/p>\n

They’ll love me, Trump proclaims, because he employs so many of them to work in his business empire. The anti-illegal immigrant rhetoric that labels Mexican immigrants coming into this country — albeit illegally — as “rapists, drug dealers, murderers” … along with “some good people, too” — well, that doesn’t matter, according to Trump.<\/p>\n

Then he got into this highly visible spat this week with Jorge Ramos, a new anchor and reporter for the Spanish-language network Univision.<\/p>\n

Trump was taking questions from reporters in Dubuque, Iowa, when Ramos interrupted him. Trump got agitated at Ramos’s persistent questioning of how Trump intended to build a 1,900-mile wall across the country’s southern border.<\/p>\n

To be fair, Ramos did barge into another reporter’s question. He shouldn’t have been so rude to his colleague.<\/p>\n

Then again, Trump could have answered Ramos’s question and gone on to the next questioner. He didn’t do that.<\/p>\n

He waved a bodyguard over, and then the bodyguard forcibly removed Ramos from the meeting room.<\/p>\n

Outside the room, a man wearing a Trump lapel badge, told Ramos to “got back to your country,” to which the Mexico-born Ramos replied that he is an American citizen.<\/p>\n

Ramos came back into the interview room later and got to ask his question. He sparred with Trump a bit more.<\/p>\n

I just wonder how Trump actually believes — if he truly does believe it — that Hispanic voters are going to continue lovin’ on the candidate when he treats individuals such as Jorge Ramos so rudely.<\/p>\n

The word “delusional” keeps coming to mind.<\/p>\n
