ABC reporter and CultMarx enforcer Tom Llamas tries to rectify Trump's vocabulary.
Llamas: "Are you aware that the term "anchor baby," that's an offensive term. People find that hurtful ..."What people? Freshmen residency assistants at liberal-arts colleges? Luis Gutiérrez?
Trump: "You mean it's not politically correct and yet everybody uses it? Say, y'know what ..."I actually did look it up at Dictionary.com. It's not there. I went to my trusty Webster's Third, 1993 edition: nope, nothing between "anchor ax" and "anchor ball". The OED? Strike three.Llamas: "Look it up in the dictionary. It's offensive."
This guy's a professional journalist?
Trump: "Give me a different term, give me a different term. What else would you like to say?"Trade in four syllables for seventeen?Llamas: "'The American-born child of an undocumented immigrant'."
Trump: "You want me to use that? OK. No, I'll use the word 'anchor baby'."Trump's had enough of the nonsense. He elbows aside this metrosexual twerp and proceeds on his way.Llamas: "Why ... I'm saying ..."
Trump: "Excuse me."You have to see both speakers, both sides of the exchange for full effect: the CultMarx enforcer, and the Donald. Each is an 18-second clip; spare the time.Llamas: "Why d'you have to use that phrase?"
Trump: "I'll use the word 'anchor baby'."
