Here's the actual quote:
'When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
'Their' makes no sense in the context of the full remark. Trump clearly meant 'They are rapists'.

Since reporters routinely lie Trump will have to verify the veracity of the quote. That is exactly what he said. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.

It's easy to find on YouTube, unless this is going to be like the Muhammad Ali thread where providing a YouTube video with footage of the words coming out of the persons mouth isn't good enough proof for some reason Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be.

I don't support Trump, but now would be the good time to provide the proof.

But he could have been using the second last sentence to define the third last sentence by way of example, as in what sought/sort of crime they're bringing in.

Here's how I interpret it: Quote:'When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime (and they're bringing) their rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. The statement is about what "they're bringing": problems, drugs, crime and rapists.

I can't say I care -- he lost my vote based on his odious views long ago. His grammar could be perfect but he'd still be a shithead.
