HOUSTON – In Houston Thursday night, leading contender for the GOP presidential nomination Donald Trump was asked about former Mexican president Vicente Fox's comment earlier in the day that Mexico would not pay for Trump's "f***ing" wall.
Trump said "The wall just got 10 feet higher," and condemned Fox's use of "f***ing" and demanded that he apologize for using public vulgarity.
"This guy used a filthy, disgusting word on television, and he should be ashamed of himself and he should apologize," Trump said.
But anyone following Trump over the past few months is well-acquainted with the businessman's honesty, frankness and frequent use of colloquialisms, such as those collected in the following video. Trump appears to be able to totally compartmentalize the fact that his language over the past few months has been just as shocking as Vicente's, if not more so.
And his faithful supporters don't hold him accountable for his hypocrisy and purposeful deflection?
