Candidate Donald Trump talks immigration, gay marriage and ISIS
Washington (CNN)Presidential
candidate Donald Trump touched on a wide range of issues in an
interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union," including his
continued support for traditional marriage, immigration issues with
Mexico and his desire to bring outsourced jobs back to the U.S.
Trump's
recent comments on undocumented immigrants from Mexico has led to
Univision deciding not to air the Miss Universe pageant, which is
co-owned by Trump and NBC Universal. Trump has since said he intends to sue Univision.
On Sunday, Trump doubled-down on his plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
"I
like Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I do business with the Mexican
people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all
over. And they're bad. They're really bad," he told CNN's Jake Tapper.
"You
have people coming in, and I'm not just saying Mexicans, I'm talking
about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and
they're coming into this country," he maintained.
The
real estate mogul revisited his socially conservative views on abortion
and marriage with awareness that they are difficult for many to
understand given his personal history.
"I'm (for) traditional marriage," he said.
When
asked how Trump reconciles the notion of "traditional marriage" with
his personal history of being married three times and divorced twice,
Trump conceded the point.
"I have a
good wife now," Trump said. "My (first) two wives were very good. And I
don't blame them, but I was working ... 22 hours a day."
Trump,
who in his presidential announcement said he'd be the "best jobs
president that God ever created," emphasized the need to get more
Americans back to work.
"You have to bring in jobs, you have to take the jobs back from China, you have to take the jobs back from Mexico," he said.
But he argued that producing his own brand's clothing in China doesn't make him hypocritical on outsourcing.
"They've
manipulated their currency to such a point that it's impossible for our
companies to compete with them," he said. "It's very, very hard to have
anything in apparel made in this country."
