"President Donald Trump on Thursday ditched his “boring” prepared remarks at a tax roundtable in West Virginia, and instead repeated his claim that “millions” of people are voting illegally and boasted that he was right about the threat of Mexican rapists.
“You know, this was going to be my remarks, it would’ve have taken about two minutes, but to hell with it,” the president said, tossing papers in the air. “That would have been a little boring, a little boring.”
The event, at which the president and state officials were slated to discuss the recently enacted Republican tax law, quickly veered off track as the president doubled down on some of his most incendiary and unsubstantiated claims.
Trump, who in announcing the launch of his presidential campaign in 2015 denounced those he called “rapists” coming into the U.S. from Mexico, bragged that the caravan of immigrants making its way through Mexico in recent days had bolstered his claim.
“Remember my opening remarks at Trump Tower when I opened? Everybody said, ‘Oh, he was so tough.’ I used the word rape,” the president said. “And yesterday it came out where this journey coming up, women are raped at levels that nobody has ever seen before.”
A New York Times report published on Wednesday found that the caravan, which originated in Central America and has since broken up, largely consisted of women and children who were fleeing violence and crime."
