Summary: Jorge Ramos, said to be the most famous Spanish-speaking news anchor of the United States, was escorted from a Donald Trump press conference after he stood to ask a question when not called on. The press conference continued without him until he was able to return. While Ramos was not present, questions erupted on the topic of Jorge Ramos. When Ramos returns, he is finally “called on” and asks his earlier questions. Trump explains to Ramos on his one question and takes his sweet time getting to the point. Trump continues to discuss gangs and drug dealers who are “illegal immigrants”.
Reaction: Ramos made a bold decision with “just asking a question” to stand up when not called on. That almost seems preschool like. I know the press conference needs to be orderly and prompt, but we are over reacting.
World Impact: Ramos being escorted isn’t really a world impact. This is just a “small problem” in our society and we will get passed it.
