Transcript provided in the video, with occasional curse words omitted:
LABORER: Donald Trump? That son of a gun who says were all thieves? Look, bastard, how we rape these stakes! [Sledgehammers a 2×4] How we work ourselves to death just to eat. I make $1,100/week and the government takes $350 to feed your lazy, unemployed drug addicts. Look at these guys, busting their butts in the sun. Its 107 degrees Fahrenheit, it was 115 degrees earlier. Look at these guys, flooring a mile a minute. What rapists and criminals?
INTERVIEWER: Which drugs do you do?
LABORER: This is my drug, you bastard! (Holds up a sledgehammer) This ones my drug and this ones (holds up a hammer) my booze, fool!

That's just not an attitude I care for.

(3,263 posts)with the tea party and gun nut racist base now, I bet they have turned off Hispanics completely. Trump is the nail in the coffin on culture . Turning off people who share their ideology like this man , who may have voted republican 10 years ago unlikely ever again due to every one of their party candidates racism plus he sees how Trump is welcome by his party base no questions too.

He's just making the point that he and his colleagues stand in the face of DT's character assasination of Mexican immigrants.

(278 posts)gamed the system to become a billionaire. Half of his country was stolen by thieves, rapists, and murderers, (I should know both of my families became "second-class white" Americans overnight). Because of Americans insatiable appetite for drugs, his country has been destroyed, even the President of Mexico said that if America really wants to end the drug wars in Mexico, it needs to stop buying the drugs that fuels the war. AND YOU DON'T LIKE HIS ATTITUDE???

(9,086 posts)Yes Donald Trump is an asshole. And I feel bad for this crew being worked to death in the hot sun. It's because we have a system that forces workers to compete with each other for survival. "Flooring a mile a minute" isn't anything we should aspire to.
But lazy, unemployed, and drug addicts, are three different groups of people. They overlap somewhat.
Drug addiction is a medical issue. Unemployment is not caused by moral failing. I reject calling drug addicts and the unemployed lazy. And also I reject the idea that hard work is a virtue while resting is a vice.
I think it's completely false that this crew is working so hard because others are too lazy and on drugs to do the work. This crew got hired because they work for less wages. Not because others are lazy.
We shouldn't have to compete in the first place. Forcing workers to compete for survival is more insulting than Donald Trump.
