I’ve watched it a hundred times. You’re wrong, and his campaign confirmed this at the time. Sorry.
There is a lack of the hand gesture, when he says “their/they’re rapists,” that is present when he says “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime…” and “and some, I assume…” It does appear that he may have meant “they’re bringing crime and their rapists…” I’ve never paid attention to the clip before, because I couldn’t care less what he said-the hate he gets from progressives is reason enough for me to support him(or at least vote for him over Clinton).
Wow. That video/statement sums up this whole “left vs. right” for me…
Basically, people hear what they want to hear LOL. This is a video Rorschach test LOLLLL!!!
Imo, Trump said “their”.

This is very stupid and illogical.
But it doesn’t matter, because, as I said, Trump’s campaign explicitly confirmed the wording:
That settles that.
(wrt Trump video)
So…
FOX said Trump said “their”.
The major networks said Trump said “they’re”, with “they’re” referring to Mexican illegal immigrants.
CNN said Trump said “they’re”, with “they’re” referring to ALL Mexican immigrants.
CNBC said Trump said “they’re”, with “they’re” referring to ALL Mexicans, everywhere.
Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow said it while frothing and foaming at the mouth…
edit to add: Trump only wants to know which version will get him more “ReTweets”…
It doesn’t sum up Left vs. Right so much as it sums up the dissolution of rationality in Rightist American politics, because there is a right answer and a wrong answer and only one set of addled fantasists is still clinging to the latter months and months after the thing was settled without any ambiguity at all.

Oh, I wanted to add one more…
Obama would’ve said: I could’ve made a much, much more eloquent anti-Mexican speech than that loser Trump, and pissed off many, many more people in the process! (drops microphone and leaves pedestal…)
"All administrations lie, but what we are seeing here is an attack on credibility itself.
The Russian dissident and chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov drew upon long familiarity with that process when he tweeted: “The point of modern propaganda isn’t only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.”
Mr. Kasparov grasps that the real threat is not merely that a large number of Americans have become accustomed to rejecting factual information, or even that they have become habituated to believing hoaxes. The real danger is that, inundated with “alternative facts,” many voters will simply shrug, asking, “What is truth?” — and not wait for an answer.
In that world, the leader becomes the only reliable source of truth; a familiar phenomenon in an authoritarian state, but a radical departure from the norms of a democratic society. The battle over truth is now central to our politics."

They seem to have a rape problem in Mexico… One cannot make any conclusions of course it doesn’t mean jack shit
This isn’t evidence that deals with Trump’s lie about Mexicans in the United States. That doesn’t exist. But please do keep looking for it. This is almost as fruitful a use of your time as when you were trying to determine the legitimacy of a second-hand December report that had been explicitly corroborated – first-hand – in January.
So yeah, in the context of what you’re currently flailing about, it means jack and shit.
This is where I am. I’ve watched the video, and it could go either way, but “They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people” doesn’t make sense, in that rapists (except I guess Bill Clinton, to liberals) are never good people.
Whereas: “There are rapists and some, I assume, are good people,” makes perfect sense and is very true.
Regarding, illegals, they tract across our ranch and the reservation on a daily basis.
They steal, maliciously break shit, and kill cattle for no reason. Every day. Ranch hands have had numerous run-ins with armed thugs who rob them and carjack trucks.
So, I’m really ready for the wall.
Oh, and all of you non-native fucks are illegals to me. (yes, joking, kind of)
But…but…

Holy shit, no, it can’t go either way. This fantasy has been done for months.

have fun if you are bored
Then if you want the US to have borders you must want the Border Patrol to do its job. And you must also want the US to be able to prevent illegals from coming across.
Sorry, didn’t see where you listed all of the countries that don’t have any borders. Would you mind listing them again? Thank you
Actually it can. I’ve watched it, and it’s very clear from context he was not saying “all Mexicans are rapists.”
And, no, I am not remotely a Trump fan. He’s a retard. But he is sure picking great people.
Isn’t that where the left lives? Oh wait they live in whine country…never mind.

No, it can’t, because he released an annotated transcript settling the matter definitively. It’s the subject of the link in the post you’re quoting here.
