Trump Stops Rally To Say Plane Flying Could Be Mexico Preparing 'To Attack' (VIDEO)

By Sara Jerde Published


June 30, 2016, 4:28 PM EDT

Donald Trump stopped talking about his views on free trade Thursday to surmise that a random plane flying overhead at his campaign rally was Mexico "getting ready to attack."

Trump, speaking at a rally in New Hampshire, pivoted his discussion to talking about Mexico and trading with the country.

"Mexico, and I respect Mexico, I respect their leaders, what they've done to us is incredible. Their leaders are so much smarter, so much sharper. And it's incredible," Trump said.

Then, a plane could be heard flying overhead.

"In fact, that could be a Mexican plane up there — they're getting ready to attack," he said.

Insecure people often fall for that trick - even when they´ve been on the receiving end - because they find it witty and bold.

But he wants to be popular in an entertaining persona sort of like the villain in wrestling. If he were to actually win the Presidency Donald would be devastated.

Even if he loses, he has empowered the wrong elements in our society, perhaps paving the way for the 'next Trump'. If he wins, I don't want to think about it.

I'm wondering if there is an ethnic group/religion/etc that he HASN'T bashed in one way or the other. Yet despite Donald's shocking comments, he is still very popular among many people. It's truly mind-boggling...

There's lunacy and then there is claiming planes from Mexico will bomb the US.

If Romney got 27% of the Latino vote, how in the world would Trump even reach 20%..

Please keep it up Donald, maybe Hillary can make Texas competitive..

Maybe I'm wrong and there's a swarming mass behind the camera, but it appears he's in a back alley loading dock. And there are some yellow plastic chains to protect him from the African American guy in the pink shirt on the left. Widely spaced folding chairs does not give me the "rally" vibe so much as "impromptu get together".

Okay, from the gif there might be 200 people maybe. This could have been an indoor event, unless the campaign is saving money by not renting a hall.

And no, it sure doesn't look like he's trying to win, does he?

He must have ZERO internal filter, or capacity to understand that what he's saying makes him sound like a total douchebag to most Americans.
