GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested in two speeches Saturday that migrants coming to the U.S. should have their own fighting league, remarking that they’re “tough people” who could beat the country’s top fighters.
Speaking first to a crowd of conservative Christians at a Faith & Freedom Coalition gathering in Washington, D.C., Trump said he shared the idea with Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Trump told the crowd that he said to White: “Dana I have an idea. Why don’t you set up a migrant league of fighters and have your regular league fighters,” Trump said, “and then you have the champion of your league – these are the greatest fighters in the world – fight the champion of the migrants.”
The suggestion drew laughter and applause from the crowd, a response that continued as he spoke more about the concept.
“I think the migrant guy might win,” Trump said, adding that White “didn’t like that idea too much.”
“But actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever had,” he continued.Trump later repeated the idea during a rally Saturday evening in Philadelphia.
