At a campaign stop Tuesday in Iowa, Donald Trump used broken English to impersonate Asian businesspeople.

"Negotiating with Japan, negotiating with China, when these people walk into the room, they don't say, 'Oh hello, how's the weather, so beautiful outside, isn't it lovely? How are the Yankees doing?'" Trump said. "They say, 'We want deal!'" Trump made the comments hours after tweeting that fellow Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush "offended" Asians by saying the term "'anchor babies' applies to them as a way to be more politically correct to Hispanics. A mess!" Catherine Garcia
