what in the world?

I'm especially appalled by your response to Trump's comments about Gonzalo Curiel. Non-uniqueness does not give pardon to his ridiculous, insensitive, and racist comment. Besides, Trump suggested Gonzalo Curiel's judgment was biased because he was Mexican - how can you claim that this is a rhetorical device akin to Obama's "demonstrably false" statement about purchasing a gun in America? What sensation did Mr. Trump raise other than bigotry and hatred of others? I don't find his comments acceptable especially because he's running for a president!

Of course his comments are not acceptable. My only point is that all politicians show biases. This is Trump's. Just like Obama has his own bias against gun-ownership by the general public. It is the voter's job to evaluate everything and take a decision, not get reactionary just because of one or two stray comments.

As I said, I am not an American and as such I may not be very thoroughly informed on everything. Keeping that in mind, what Trump seems to say makes a lot of sense if you strip away the fluff and the style with which he says it.
