Chef Zakarian backs out of DC Trump hotel
In an interview with NBC News Wednesday in the atrium of Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, where he launched his campaign, the TV personality fired back.
““I have to see who wins”, he said when asked Thursday evening on Fox News” “Hannity” program if he’d support the eventual GOP nominee. He said Trump was echoing the same sentiment that he has been repeating since being elected sheriff of Butler County: close the border.
Amid ongoing controversy surrounding his remarks on immigration last month, the Republican presidential hopeful refused to back down in an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Wednesday, July 8.
According to Trump’s account, Priebus “said wow, you’re really doing well in the polls, you really hit a nerve”.
Trump also took aim at some of his fellow presidential candidates, most notably Hillary Clinton, who is campaigning for the Democratic nomination.
However, Trump also said illegal immigrants are not a problem specific to Mexico, but that they come from everywhere.
TRUMP: Well, I can only say that Joe Biden got less than 1% of the vote every time he ran for president.
On Independence Day, Trump retweeted a message that accused Bush of being sympathetic to illegal immigrants because he is married to a Mexican woman. He added that he believes Jeb Bush’s wife being from Mexico has an influence on the ex- Florida governor’s political stance on immigration. He doubled down on the characterization repeatedly this week, highlighting the case of a Mexican immigrant in the country illegally who was recently charged in a California murder. “And some, I assume, are good people“. There’s never been a Secretary of State so bad as Hillary.
“People love me, and you know what?”
But after the conservative Civitas Institute issued results of a poll it conducted in late June, institute President Francis De Luca said the figures “show that name recognition is the most powerful factor in voters’ preferences at this point”.
Trump’s Tar Heel State victory comes amid a tumultuous few weeks in which he has lost numerous big business contracts and riled the GOP field with inflammatory comments about Mexicans. We lost everything, including all relationships.
Chairman Reince Priebus, the head of the Republican National Committee, asked Mr Trump to tone down his hateful speech toward Mexican-American immigrants, the Washington Post first reported.
