The Daily Show: John Leguizamo: Will Donald Trump Get the Latino Vote?

Source:The Daily Show with John Leguizamo.

"John Leguizamo is fired up about the Latino vote and their surprising sway toward Donald Trump, despite Biden’s outreach and policies on immigration. In the latest In My Opinion, he breaks down the priority issues of inflation, and Trump’s deceptions on how much he truly cares about the Latino community." 

From The Daily Show

First of all and on a personal note first and I excuse my fucking language, but I need it to make this point: What's John Leguizamo fucking problem? All he does is talk about fucking people? Can this guy even get though a fucking sentence without fucking cussing? (I also excuse my hypocrisy)

I guess John Leguizamo getting through a sentence without cussing, would be like Donald Trump getting through a court session without falling asleep. Or getting through a sentence without lying. Or actually speaking to the questions that he's asked. And it's way too early for Christmas, so I guess I would be asking for too much here.  

On a more serious note: I'm not Latino myself. My German name I think is a pretty good clue there. But it depends on what you mean by Latinos. Because similar with Slavs, Scandinavians, Orientals, (are we still allowed to say Oriental, or will the Political Correctness Police arrest me for that?) Latino is not a race or ethnicity in of itself. 

There are Spanish Latinos who are primarily, or at least partially of Spanish heritage, even if their families migrated to Latin America before coming to America, like in John Leguizano's case to Puerto Rico. 

There are Afro-Latinos, Latinos who are of at least of some African descent. 

Peru has a Japanese population, as well as a Spanish, and Peruvian-Indian population.  

Mexico has Germans and Jews, as well as Arabs and Africans, and a lot of Spaniards. And of course Mexican-Indians, Aztecs, Yucas and other Mexican Indians.

And of course there are a lot of Latinos who are of West Indian descent, who also have at least some Spanish ancestry descent, which is the ethnic and racial background of a lot of Latino Americans.

My point here is that Latino or if you prefer Hispanic, in of itself is not a race or ethnicity.

But to go to John Leguizamo's serious point about why some Latinos are supporting Donald Trump and inflation: inflation affects Latinos the same way it affects every other group in America. And I'm sure they're tired of inflation as much as everyone else. 

But the question that Latinos have to ask themselves, is the same question that every other voting bloc in America has to ask themselves: who has the better plan for America when it comes to inflation, as well as to address every other issue that America faces. 

And to pick up on Mr. Leguizamo's point about Donald Trump and inflation, Mr. Trump doesn't have a plan either. It's as if he didn't even hear or understand the question that was asked to him. He was given a point blank question about inflation and his answer was: "drill, baby, drill." Which is about energy policy, not inflation. And apparently he's unaware that gas prices have come down since Joe Biden has been President. And we became an energy independent country under President Biden, not President Trump. We now produce more oil than we import.
