Boston mayor: Donald Trump unwelcome without apology

Trump appears to be squeezing out a thought or a dump.

Boston mayor: Donald Trump unwelcome without apology

If Donald Trump ever wants to build a hotel in Boston, he’ll need to apologize for his comments about Mexican immigrants first, the mayor said.

“I didn’t criticize him; I just don’t agree with him at all,” Mayor Martin J. Walsh told the Herald yesterday. “I think his comments are inappropriate. And if he wanted to build a hotel here, he’d have to make some apologies to people in this country.”

Walsh was referring to Trump’s remarks during his campaign launch last month that “when Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ... They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”

Far from issuing a mea culpa, Trump took to Twitter on Sunday night and yesterday, writing that the prison escape of the notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman over the weekend is proof that his remarks were true and that he is the one who is owed an apology.

show both how far one can, and can't go, by virtue of money

(obviously a lot further, than one of the 'little people')
