A year ago it seemed unlikely Donald Trump would become the Republican presidential candidate. Yet, over 365 days since the businessman and reality star announced his candidacy for president, here we are.
Trump may have flip-flopped on several issues over that time, but his ability to offend members of the Latino community has remained disturbingly consistent. And it hasn’t gone unnoticed: According to recent polls, Trump holds only 14 percent of the Latino vote compared to Hillary Clinton’s 76 percent.
Last August we collected just nine particularly outrageous things the Republican candidate had said about Latinos around the time of his campaign launch. Now, with the general election in full swing, we’ve compiled an updated list of Trump’s absurd ― and dangerous ― anti-Latino remarks.
Here are just nine ridiculous things the Donald has said about Latinos in the last year.


Former Mexican presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón promptly fired back at Trump over the proposal. “Mexican people, we are not going to pay any single cent for such a stupid wall,” Calderón said in an interview with CNBC. “And it’s going to be completely useless."

The federal judge Trump was referring to is Gonzalo Curiel, who was born and raised in Indiana to parents who emigrated from Mexico.

In an interview with CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper," on June 3, Trump continued his attacks against Curiel with the above statement, followed swiftly by: "I am going to do very well with the Hispanics, the Mexicans --"

On the topic, San Diego chapter president Luis Osuna told The Huffington Post: “A lot of people are assuming that since it’s called ‘La Raza lawyers’ that it’s only Mexicans. But we consist of 300 members: judges, lawyers, law students, non-legal professionals that work in the legal field.” He added that members are “Latino, non-Latino, Mexican, non-Mexican, Caucasian.”
The protesters in New Mexico were thugs who were flying the Mexican flag. The rally inside was big and beautiful, but outside, criminals!

After his rally in San Jose, California the GOP candidate went a step further and portrayed protestors as undocumented without offering proof. "Many of the thugs that attacked the peaceful Trump supporters in San Jose were illegals," he tweeted on June 4. "They burned the American flag and laughed at police."
Hillary Clinton’s open borders are tearing American families apart. I am going to make our country Safe Again for all Americans. #Imwithyou

A Plus reporter Isaac Saul tweeted back at Trump pointing out how ironic the statement was coming from a candidate who promised mass deportation: "Uh.. your unrealistic proposal is to spend billions deporting 11 million ppl n children to rip those very families apart."
Obama & Clinton should stop meeting with special interests, & start meeting with the victims of illegal immigration.
