Interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper June 3, 2016:
Trump: “Look, he’s proud of his heritage, OK? I’m building a wall. Now, I think I’m going to do very well with Hispanics…because I’m going to bring back jobs. And they are going to get jobs. I think I’m going to do very well with Hispanics.
But we are building a wall. He’s a Mexican. We’re building a wall between here and Mexico.
The answer is, he is giving us very unfair rulings, rulings that people can’t even believe. This case should have ended years ago on summary judgment. The best lawyers — I have spoken to so many lawyers — they said, `This is not a case. This is a case that should have ended.’ This judge is giving us unfair rulings. Now, I say. `Why?’ Well, I’m building a wall, OK? And it’s a wall between Mexico. Not another country.”
Tapper: “But he’s not from Mexico. He’s from Indiana.”
Trump: “He’s of Mexican heritage and he’s very proud of it.”
