Presidential candidate Donald Trump lobbed a pretty big insult at Mexico, saying it exports drugs, crime, and rapists to America, and Mexicans aren't terribly happy about it. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kimmel gave his sidekick Guillermo the chance to offer a rebuttal. With a mariachi band playing "America the Beautiful" behind him, Guillermo said his piece. In Spanish. The English subtitles are very polite and measured. See, Kimmel said afterward, "it's possible to disagree with someone and still be a gentleman about it." You can tell from the audience response that there are some Spanish speakers, and if you're not, I'll translate Guillermo's speech after the video:
Here's what he said:
Dear Mr. Trump, you make me sick. You are a very ridiculous man.... You are very sick. Your terrible combover makes you look like a chupacabra. I speak for all Mexicans when I say that you can take your insults and stick them up your large and stupid [censored]. Also, you're fired, bastard. [Guillermo]
Take your bow, Guillermo. You earned it.
