“I just want to tell President Trump that I am fluent in Spanish and I will follow you to the swing states and speak to voters in Spanish and make a difference,” Rem suggested.

Trump needs Latino voters, according to Rem, who said the bloc will “sway this election in your favor.”

And I want to say, “I love you, President Trump.” I love your whole family. They cause nothing but grief to you and the fake media out there that…doesn't support Donald Trump. I love you, Donald.”
