Pointing to stories like one at Vice News last week, "White Students Keep Using Anti-Latino Trump Chants at High School Basketball Games," Roberts told Trump:
"There've been incidents of children, of white children, pointing to their darker-skinned classmates and saying 'You'll be deported when Donald Trump is president.' There have been incidents of white kids at basketball games holding up signs to teams which have hispanic kids on them saying 'We're going to build a wall to keep you out.' Are you proud of that? Is that something you've done in American political and social discourse that you're proud of?"
Trump shot back immediately.
"Well, I think your question is a very nasty question. And I'm not proud of it because I didn't even hear of it, okay. And certainly don't like it at all when I hear about it. You're the first one that's told me about that. But I would not be proud of that at all."
Roberts notes these stories have "been reported in many newspapers."

(4,176 posts)It is like they are being physically attacked, their brains (we know this from research) react differently to criticism and bad news than ours.
The more extreme the narcissism, the more defensive and angry they are when called out for something.
Imagine that personality in charge of our nuclear weapons.

At some point, that won't work.

He ends the clip with "I think we're being laughed at all over the world". It's his candidacy that was being laughed at; but the laughter is now very nervous, because the Republicans are really looking like they're going to nominate him, and we're realising they may somehow manage to win the general election (dirty tricks, a recession that hurts the incumbent party - who knows?), and that's no laughing matter.
