Trump Endorses Amnesty (Again)

by JASmius



Straight from the enormous piehole of "the Winston Churchill of our time": channeling the immigration policy of Barack Obama and Jeb Bush:

Donald Trump says as president he would ultimately give some illegal [alien]s legal status and isn't ruling out a pathway to citizenship, CNN reports.

That sounds different than what he said during his June 16th announcement speech when critics say he insulted Mexicans....

Those who are not committing crimes could find legal status under a Trump administration, he told CNN's Dana Bash in comments aired Wednesday on CNN's The Situation Room.

"It depends," Trump told Bash. "Look, it sound cold, and it sounds hard. … Our country is going to hell. We have to have a system where people are legally in our country."

I wonder - did Trump say this before or after Michael Savage unzipped his fly?

There are so many possible explanations for this mother of all gaffes.  He got confused; he thinks (not unreasonably) that since more people watch test patterns than CNN, he could afford to drop the "Hey, look at me, I'm what I think a Tea Partier is" ruse and commiserate with a "real person" (i.e. somebody from the BosWash corridor, outside of which are nothing but trolls, hobbits, Smaugs, billygoats, and whatever other mystical hillbilly creatures one finds in a Dungeons & Dragons Meets The Dukes of Hazzard game); he's planting this comment so that when his rivals throw the flagrant duplicity back in his face a week from now at the first debate, he can claim to be the victim of "unfair political attacks" and rally Tea Partiers to his side even more rabidly; or, most likely in my opinion, either (1) he thinks he's already got the GOP nomination wrapped up five months before the voting starts, or (2) he knows the RNC has bowed to his Ross Perot threats and they've already secretly rigged the nomination process for him.  You know, "treating him fairly".

Some of us have already taken notice:

One of Trump's GOP rivals, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, appeared immediately afterward, saying Trump's comments sound a lot like amnesty.

Ah, what else would you expect that snake-charming, elephant-riding RINO to say, right?

Exit questions: (1) Will this rather in-your-face betrayal break the Trump Spell, or will TPers now make excuses for Trump jumping in Jeb's "act of love" policy lap?  And (2) when Prime Minister Churchill addressed Parliament after the fall of France on June 4th, 1940 and concluded his remarks with....

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.

....was he found in Neville Chamberlain's passionate embrace in a Ten Downing Street broom closet a week later, after which the latter was parachuted into Berlin to immediately sue for peace before Rudolph Hess could make it to Scotland?  Because that's not in my history textbook.
