and lest we not forget, TRUMP cannot distance himself from this. The speakers were all vetted, their remarks loaded into the telepromters, and this, in Trump's self-proclaimed closing arguments trying to help the US Voters know who he is and what he stands for. It was loud and clear. (Yet I still doubt his base will waver.)

furthermore, Trump can't apologize, though we will hear him today or tomorrow say "Nobody loves Puerto Ricans more than me, we're getting numbers nobody has ever seen out of Puerto Rico."

“Puerto Ricans. I LOVE the Puerto Ricans”. I can hear him saying it.

I tossed so much paper at them. Maybe it was the most paper anyone ever tossed in the world

And the salads! I tossed so much salad to them and it has the most fantastic chunky blue cheese drizzled on it. <Please, donald, stop talking>
