    All Trump wanted was for Ramos to take his turn and ask his question when called on. He wanted order in his presser.

    "Later, in response to other questions, Trump said he “would love to” have Ramos come back to the presser. He added that Ramos was “out of order” and that he would have taken Ramos’ question if he hadn’t interrupted.

    Less than 20 minutes later, Ramos returned and was able to ask Trump multiple questions."

    I don't particular care for Trump, but on this Trump was in the right. Ramos was wrong. There is certain etiquette to be followed and reporters and questionnaire alike should respect each other and be polite. Ramos was wrong.

    He has the perfect temperament to deal with the illegal gangs.

    TRUMP: 'We are going to start with the gangs first'...

    You are agree with that right? Illegal gangs, they go first. You good with that?

    Here in the gang capital of the world, illegal aliens make up 50% of all gang members. Anchor babies, Crips and Bloods make up the rest.

    That seems like a simple way to cut gang crime in half, deport all illegal alien gang members.

    The guy from Univision was rude and shouting when he wasn't even called on. He was being a jerk. Kudos to Trump for having him hauled away.

    That's why people love Trump; he doesn't put up with sh-t.

    One thing is certain, Trump won't be a figure head spending his time playing golf. He is also honest and straightforward, and I think after Obama, Biden and Kerry, it's quite appealing. More important though, he has the money to make his own decisions. I mean isn't it better to have an oligarch as president telling you what he's going to do, then having the oligarchs in the background telling the president what to do?

    The Univision reporter should have waited his turn like anybody else in the room.

    Like Reagan before him, Trump was paying for the mike, and was entitled to control the conversation.

    Frankly, I thought it was all good fun, watching Trump biotch-slap that reporter, who decided to try to hijack the session, and who failed.

    I have about as much respect for the Lamestream Media nowadays as I do for your average politician, so it was a genuine delight, to watch one of those arrogant bastids get kicked out of the room; not for daring to ask Question A or B, but for trying to bully the guy at the podium.

    I still don't want Trump for President, but I'm having great fun watching him change the National Conversation and to force a few of the other candidates to get tough on some of the issues, just to keep their own heads above water.

    Ironic that the Univision fellow exhibited the same attitude of the illegals he stands up for, a lack of respect for RULES.

    Is anyone really surprised?

    To support lawbreakers is being on the wrong side, and only a jackwagon would do it. That so many agree with this dude is troubling. The rule of law is meaningless with these destructive anarchists. These open border maniacs seek to turn America into what we see south of the border. They cannot achieve what we used to have, and want us to be like the mess we see south of us.

    What, Trump not taking no sh*t from no one and not getting bullied by no one, not even sleazy pro-illegal reporters? WTF, who needs a president like that? The US needs another politically correct lying lawyer/polititian/whore instead who could be comfortably in bed with reporters and special interests.

    THANK YOU for posting this. I would likely have missed it otherwise.

    The more I see and learn of Mr Trump the more I like him and this certainly reinforces that !

    He was more than considerate of this rude and obnoxious reporter Ramos. But when Action was
    called for to control the meeting Mr. Trump provided just that. When Ramos cooled his heels
    and was more respectful he was allowed to return and ask his questions to which Mr. Trump answered
    well. But of course not to Ramos's satisfaction.

    Your thread should be titled ---

    HOW A TRUE EXECUTIVE HANDLES A DISRUPTIVE REPORTER AT A PRESS CONFERENCE

    Hopefully we're seeing the end of political correctness and the rebirth of the First Amendment. I'm so sick of the liberal slime balls who inhabit the MSM.

    THIS is off the deep end to you huh?

    He's done far worse than this, heck this is the first one I am absolutely 100% behind.

    You guys both left and right need to understand that your normal attacks won't work. His support is based on the people in the middle who are so sick and tired of hearing it. That and the angry fat right that will vote him in even if he skins Bernie Sanders on live TV, heck prolly more so.

    That angry white person second group of people is prolly around 10% and I think the first is around 25% that like him. That 25% is the key. It is the right leaning and center leaning people who are absolutely sick and tired of it. And by it I mean everything involving politics, Trump will shatter that mold and that is their primary concern.

    If he picks up the GOP's full support, coupled with the low voter turnout that I believe the democrats will see from lack of enthusiasm in their candidate, the black lives matter movement and Elizabeth Warren supporters.

    There is honestly a REALLY good shot Trump wins this thing.

    If you are part of the group saying it can't happen and treating it like a joke, you will be the one picking up your jaw from the floor in disbelief when he wins.

    Nothing wrong with what Trump did here. A press conference is about trying desperately to get recognition to ask your question. There is no 'right' to shout over everyone else until you get what you want.

    Ja ja ja ja...

    You don't know "Jorge Ramos".

    Jorge Ramos is not only a Latino TV reporter but he is a fanatic of illegal immigration.

    His job is to brainwash the Latino audience crying "Wolf!" for anything that goes against illegal immigrants, regardless if these illegal immigrants are criminals, drug addicts, etc.

    He just defend his ancestral background and attack any law that impedes more illegal immigrants in the US.

    Surely he jumped to ask questions without waiting for his turn. Now Jorge Ramos will use this incident to attack Trump in the Latino TV channel.

    Many years ago, Jorge Ramos was a serious TV reporter, but the Latino TV wants more audience which means more profit, because more viewers also increases the charges to companies which want to have their ads broadcasted.

    Jorge Ramos might also receive his cuts from Immigration lawyers and Latino leaders who benefit from illegal immigration in the US.

    Donald Trump did well. If something must be respected in interviews, such is order.

    Jorge Ramos tried to get into this interview as many Latinos get into the US: him without being invited to talk, and them without being invited to live in the USA.
    Lol.

    Ramos was not only rude but completely out of order. Trump politely asked him to sit down, he didn't and was escorted out like an illegal alien. Good for Trump!! :roflol:

    Gangs have been around a lot longer than illegal immigration from Mexico. Even if Trump could deport all illegal immigrants (and he can't) the gangs would continue to thrive. They exist because there is a market for their products and would attract new recruits as soon as the old members were deported.

    Even if all illegal immigrants were deported your life wouldn't be one iota better. That's the fallacy of Trump's promises - he can't carry them out and even if he could it wouldn't change a thing.

    No, it isn't. Look how well that's worked in Russia.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The opposite of political correctness isn't rudeness and insults. When Trump claims he's speaking the truth he's really just being a common jerk.

    He seems to be the candidate of choice for people with unresolved parental issues.
