or Que Sera Sera.
Remember last year when the Judge assigned to the “Trump University” case allowed key documents in the case to be made public? Trump immediately called the Judge racist and a Mexican. He further went on to say “because he’s a Mexican he can’t be impartial to me”. Trump also claims that the majority of “Mexicans” in the US were “rapists and murderers”……..allowing that “Some of them might be OK”. Thus, Trump concluded that the Judge could not be impartial because he was Mexican.
It turns out that the Judge is not Mexican. He was born in Kansas. The Judges parents came from Mexico entering the country legally and soon became US citizens. Trump never lets the facts stand in his way.
Trump later settled the “Trump University” lawsuit for 25 million dollars. The whole University thing was a scam.
Fast forward to today. A Mexican by the name of Juan Manuel Montes Bojorquez, 23, whose lawyers allege he was deported from California to Mexico earlier this year despite having active protection under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also known as DACA has sued the federal government for violation of the DACA act. The DACA Act allows children who were brought to the US by their parents to legally remain in the US as long as they are pursuing higher education and/or citizenship……which can take several years at best.
The Judge assigned to the case is none other than Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the Judge assigned to the Trump University case.
I am laughing my ass off.

Trump often shoots his mouth off. Talks first, thinks second.
When you're the boss of a company you can often do that and get away with it; you can be as unpleasant as you like to most underlings because you've got the power.
But it's not a great way to win friends & influence people and can backfire on you if you aren't careful.
Trump needs to remember he's not at Trump headquarters now, he is pres. Different ball game.
As for the judge. I hope he disregards any external factors or prior feelings and just judges the case for or against impartially, on its merits. That is how a decent judge should operate.

Talking of this, it brought back an old memory-it reminds me a bit of a boy I once taught in year 2 (ie he was about 7 or 8 years old).
Now this boy used to often get into trouble in the yard, hitting people. He could be a pain in the class too-said nasty things, sly jabs, push others out of line so he could push in etc
Bright enough but by no means the brightest. A good to high average. Not popular with the other kids at all.
In the three years after I had him, each teacher had trouble and his mum insisted he was moved to another class as the teachers just picked on him, didn't understand him etc
I also got into trouble, his mum said he was fighting other kids outside in the playground because he was just too bright, I wasn't extending him. Ours was his 3rd school by the way as the others were just 'no good'.
Now one day we had a technology session-kids in teams had to make a vehicle with wheels & later we would see whose would travel the most distance down a ramp.
This boy Chris had a fight with his group and sat on his own, asked to make his own because the other kids were picking on him and he could not work with them he told me 'because they won't do it my way.'
(he ended up the session with just a set of 2 wheels joined, nothing else)
I mentioned to his mother that he had trouble working with others, showing respect etc & you know her reply?
She said he didn't need to as they owned a business and he would be the boss anyway so he didn't need to listen to others or get on with them.
Fast forward a few years to the end of year 6 when kids go to their future high school on an orientation day to look around & do some activities before starting the following year. We got the message that after orientation Day, Chris had been expelled from his high school before he even started. 
This secretly amused the staff as every year, our prin blamed all of us for Chris's behaviour and sided with the mother.
I believe Chris later became a gardener/horticulturalist which may work as he was dealing more with plants not people. But Chris had a personality not unlike Trump's.
