You have to be impressed. And terrified. He calls Mexicans rapists and thieves and that their government is letting terrorists though the border, cages Hispanic children and wants to deport even legal aliens (birthright). Trump goes to Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, throws paper towels and gets chided by their Governor for not supplying aid. Trump gets Cuban votes, because they somehow think Biden is Socialist and it reminds them of Castro, not the strongman-to-be Trump. He goes after Venezuelans who want asylum after blaming their country for fake voting in the US. And with all that, like Ted Cruz did after Trump severely denigrated Cruz’s family during the election, they’re coming on bended knee to pledge fealty. Trump DESPISES Hispanics, almost as much as Blacks. How is any amount of money worth what Univision is doing?

Univision is owned by Televisa, whose owner/CEO is a Mexican far right "conservative."

It's likely that the powers that be in the parent companies believe that if they cozy up to Defendant Trump, they will be spared when he implements full-on fascism - if elected. They will not be spared. Their strategy, though seriously flawed, makes sense, because the regime will need some of them to keep "their people" in line. The same is true of other groups the defendant has attacked. He will use and discard as many of them as he needs to accomplish his goals. We are, indeed, all in this together, and I'm most grateful for Joyce, Barb McQuade, Andrew Weissmann and others who are working tirelessly to ensure that we are informed about just how close we are to being under the thumb of an authoritarian regime.

I think Latinos like macho men.
