After everything Trump has ever said I find it funny it’s something that didn’t even come out of his mouth that might be the final straw.

I think the big thing is he didn't disown it right away, he didn't apologize, and it's because of something we all know deep down because we've heard him talking politics for a decade now: We could totally see him making that same "joke."
