LAS VEGAS -- As Donald Trump complained about how his nose looked on the cover of People magazine last week, he spotted a woman in the crowd waving a copy.

"There it is! Come here!" Trump said, walking across the stage and pulling up Myriam Witcher, an immigrant from Colombia who has become one of his super-fans. Witcher bounced with the excitement of a teenaged girl meeting a boy-band heartthrob: "I love Mr. Trump!"

"I am Hispanic," she proclaimed to the mostly white crowd at a rally here on Thursday afternoon, "and I vote for Mr. Trump!"

"And is this a set-up?" Trump asked Witcher, as she shook her head. "Did I ever meet you before? Huh?"

Witcher then exploded with enthusiasm, jumping up and down: "We love you! We love you! We love you!"

"I swear to you -- I think she's totally beautiful and yet I've never met her before," Trump said. "This all started with a People magazine."

Trump signed the magazine, kissed Witcher on the head and sent her back to her seat, declaring: "And that's my relationship with Hispanics." Later in the day, he tweeted: "Just leaving Las Vegas. Unbelievable crowd! Many Hispanics who love me and I love them!"
