Trump's consdescending, simplistic speech to the National Hispanic Leadership Conference

This is a transcript of a video of Trump, seated in an airplane seat with a sheet of paper in his hand that he refers to, as he delivers this to the camera.   Apparently it was a video made to be shown at a meeting of National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.

Even for Trump, this is so simplistic and condescending to its audience.   He sounds like a 12 year old running for class president -- one who thinks he's so much smarter than anyone else in the class that he has to dumb it down, so his classmates can understand what he's saying.

“It’s so great to be with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. We’re gonna do a lot of things if I get elected president. We’re gonna bring back jobs and that you understand. The world is taking our jobs and we’ve gotta stop it.

“We’re gonna take care of minority unemployment. It’s a huge problem, it’s really unfair to minorities, and we’re going to solve that problem and it’s going to be solved once and for all. . . .   

“We’re gonna do massive tax cuts, especially for the middle class, and people that are poor are going to pay nothing. . . .  Absolutely nothing. . . .  You’re going to start paying taxes after you’re making a lot of money and hopefully that’s going to be soon.

“We’re going to make great, great trade deals. So importantThe world is laughing at us right now. . . .  Our trade deals are horrendous and that’s where we’re losing our jobs. . . .  That’s going to end. . . .  Our debt is a disaster, we owe right now $19 trillion, it’s gotta stop. So we have to curb our debt and we will do that.

“I just want to thank everybody, we’re going to be working very hard. It’s not going to be easy, but I’m going to win and we’re going to take care of everybody. Our country is going to be unified for the first time in a long time. And again, I just want to thank the, the whole group, and all of the committees that asked me to do this.

“National. Hispanic. Christian. Three. Great. Words. We’re going to take care of you, we’re going to work with you, you’re going to be very happy, you’re going to like President Trump.”

Simplistic.   Condescending.  Empty.   Boasting.   Lying.   Standard Trumpism.  Sad.

If I was Hispanic, I'd be mad as hell.   This man thinks you're not capable of understanding adult speech.
