As you’re no doubt aware, saying ‘Donald Trump isn’t interested in political correctness’ is a little bit of an understatement.
The one constant in his campaign has been that he says what he wants, how he wants, and if you’re going to try to challenge him on it, you’re in for a struggle.
The press can’t stand this, because they know his attitude resonates with voters.
So, when he outlined his plans to deal with illegal immigration, they were ready to pounce.
Trump gave them an opening by using the term “anchor baby” during his press conference. Evidently, the phrase “Anchor baby” is now one of those not-really-offensive phrases over which progressive can express their completely phony outrage.
“You said that you have a big heart, and that you’re not mean-spirited,” The reporter said. “Are you aware that the term ‘anchor baby,’ that’s an offensive term?
People find that hurtful.”
Trump, true to form, wasn’t interested in playing the PC game.
“You mean it’s not politically correct, and yet everybody uses it?” he said.
“So, you know what?
Give me a different term.
Give me a different term.
What else would you like me to say?”
The reporter suggested that Trump should refer to them as “The American-born child of an undocumented immigrant.”
“You want me to say that,” Trump mocked.
“OK, No.
I’ll use the word Anchor Baby...”
People find that hurtful.”
