Instead, he embarrassed our nation buy telling the President of Mexico, to his face, that he&#8217;s going to have to pay for this wall.  Then he gave the most clearly hateful immigration speech yet.<\/p>\n<p>But, there will be taco truck on every corner. Trump is going to lose and there will be taco trucks on every corner.  THEY PROMISED!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>The gentleman speaking on behalf of Trump makes a very interesting, racist point. Mexican culture is dominant. The Spanish never conquered Mexico, we are told. If you don&#8217;t control Mexicans, they will take over.  If you don&#8217;t realize that, it is just because you haven&#8217;t been to Mexico lately. Seriously, he said that!<\/p>\n<p>And, he tells us that for this reason, if Trump doesn&#8217;t win this election, there will be a taco truck on every corner.
