Trump is now on his familiar, hardline immigration rhetoric, noting that the GOP platform proposes “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country”.
Earlier, he had hypothesized that crime is dropping in Central American countries like El Salvador because “they’re sending their murders to the United States of America”.
He noted that his deportations would be “even larger than that of president Dwight D Eisenhower from many years ago. You know, he was a moderate but he believed very strongly in borders. He had the largest deportation operation we’ve ever had.”
