Donald Trump’s rally in Michigan on Monday has become famous as the one where he dissed Secretary Clinton in Yiddish.
“She was going to beat Obama,” he said. “I don’t know who would be worse. I don’t know. How does it get worse? She … was favored to win and, she got [censored Yiddish word]. She lost.”
I didn’t realize we had to censor Yiddish.

But it was interesting for another reason. There appeared to be an organized group of hecklers sprinkled around the packed arena, including one in the crowd right behind Mr. Trump’s podium. And they would interrupt him every 10 minutes or so through the speech. Very annoying. But he kept his cool, and finally he made a promise I haven’t seen reported anywhere so far.
During his speech, he announced to the crowd that if he put them in a room and fed and talked to them, he could get his message through. It would be a “positive thing.”
“I really believe that,” he said.
Trump breaking bread with his hecklers – I dunno. You want to be careful. Those hecklers can be very persuasive.
You know who else agreed to meet with his hecklers? Obama.
President Obama actually met several times with hecklers on the immigration issue in 2014. And a few months later he issued that executive order to protect them from deportation. The same one that was ruled illegal a year later. I’m just saying, watch out Mr. Trump, they might talk you out of that beautiful wall.
