Watch Donald Trump call a baby a 'future construction worker' and an 'early Trump fan'
At one of his final pre-election appearances in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday, Republican Donald Trump brought a baby on stage and declared the child a "future construction worker" and an "early Trump fan."
"Look at this baby," he said after holding the baby aloft, Lion King-style. "They did a great job, wow. That is a great, beautiful baby, congratulations."
At the same rally, Trump announced he loves signs that say "Blacks for Trump," and complained that rapper Jay-Z used foul language during his Get-Out-the-Vote concert with wife Beyoncé for Hillary Clinton Friday evening. "He used language last night that was so bad, and then Hillary said, 'I did not like Donald Trump's lewd language,'" Trump said. "My lewd language. I'll tell you what, I’ve never said what [Jay] said in my life."
