One thing Trump did poorly was he called people by the country they came from, showing his patriot and superior over others. That is racist ! Here is another one: Donald Trump has branded him a "hater," "very hostile" and "Mexican." In private, it's ok to call your origin, not in any formal situation. Trump is so rude to other ethical groups.
How about calling Trump: "German?" If you want to be president, you gotta be presidential, acting like the Pres. of the entire USA, not just of your own little circle of supporters. You gotta win them over from day one !
I respect John McCain. He said to Obama - "You're my president. I respect you" - that's basic decency.
Trump is too divisive to integrate all, including his opponents, for a better USA.
He's just an entertainer, improvising for fun. You're kidding, right? Being Pres. of the USA, you shoulder the
duty to unite all of us, not dividing us by calling "Mexican" "Muslims" "Chinese" --- We're all Americans.
Trump University Case: Who Is Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel?
Chuck Todd: Donald Trump's behavior at presser 'borderline irresponsible'3:19
Donald Trump has branded him a "hater," "very hostile" and "Mexican."
U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who's presiding over two of the three lawsuits against Trump University in San Diego, is clearly now in the cross hairs of the bombastic presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
But Curiel is no stranger to being targeted — and in the 1990s he was even reportedly on the hit list of a Mexican drug cartel.
"The judge was appointed by Barack Obama," Trump told a campaign rallyon the same day as a hearing in the case. "I mean frankly, he should recuse himself because he's given us ruling after ruling after ruling, negative, negative, negative."
The judge appeared to take a swipe at Trump that same day by ordering internal Trump University documents to be released as part of a class-action lawsuit. (He is prevented by a judicial code of conduct from responding publicly to the verbal attacks.)
In deciding to release the documents, Curiel simply noted that Trump "has placed the integrity of these court proceedings at issue."
It's a move that will likely keep Curiel at odds with Trump. Here's what else is known about the veteran jurist:
During a Senate confirmation hearing in 2012 regarding his appointment as a U.S. District judge, Curiel was described as the son of Mexican immigrants, whose parents came to the United States with an elementary school education.
After earning his law degree from Indiana University in 1979, Curiel spent the next 10 years in private practice in Indiana and California.
He then served as an assistant U.S. attorney in California's Southern District, and worked in the Narcotics Enforcement Section before he was appointed in 2006 by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as a San Diego Superior Court judge.
He oversaw domestic violence cases as well as family court and civil cases.
In 2011, Obama first nominated him to a district judgeship representing the Southern California district in San Diego. He was confirmed the following year by the Senate. He tried over 300 cases at that point, mostly in front of a federal criminal jury.
Before his nomination, he was lauded for his years on the bench.
"He comes to us, in short, as a nominee with impressive — indeed, extraordinary — record of experience, public service, and I look forward to his swift confirmation," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D.-Conn., said at the confirmation hearing.
He was targeted by the Tijuana drug cartel.
When Curiel was part of Narcotics Enforcement, he helped to bring down the Mexican criminal organization run by Benjamín Arellano Félix, who was arrested in 2002 and convicted of running a violent and deadly drug cartel between the U.S. and Mexico.
Before Félix's arrest, the Los Angeles Times reported that Curiel had been a possible target by the cartel when a top lieutenant was arrested and claimed in a bugged conversation that he was given the go-ahead to assassinate the U.S. prosecutor.
Curiel, who was involved in the extradition of cartel henchmen, was reportedly placed under tight security.
In discussing the case with The New York Times in 2002, Curiel didn't mention the threats against him, and said that it was useful that he and other prosecutors were of Mexican descent and could speak Spanish.
"When it comes down to it, this involves the country of our parents," Curiel told the newspaper. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/trump-university-case-who-federal-judge-gonzalo-curiel-n584096
