He's an hispanic man. He went to Harvard. Maybe it was difficult for him???

I'm paraphrasing what Trump said about Acosta. But I noticed how the clips of that moment stop short of that last comment.

Was Trump actually saying that Harvard was difficult for Acosta because he was an Hispanic?

on anything. Why he felt the need to mention that Acosta was Hispanic? What is he trying to signal to Hispanic voters? The Democrats are doing something awful to a Hispanic person? Since he also said the Democrats are basically being mean to Acosta who he thinks is a great guy. Never mind that he's got Hispanic children in cages and thinks that they are all rapists and drug dealers - except the one that went to Harvard and maybe it was difficult?
