Real estate mogul Donald Trump recently reflected on former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's loss, telling Newsmax that the candidate failed to resonate among certain demographics in part because of his "maniacal" immigration policy.

"He had a crazy policy of self-deportation, which was maniacal," Trump said. "It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote ... He lost the Asian vote. He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country."

Romney first unveiled the "self-deportation" idea in a debate in January, explaining that he supported strict standards on employment that he claimed would force undocumented immigrants to return to their home countries.

Donald, go run for office and see how many votes you get. Sorry to tell you that only those that you hire and pay big bucks are the ones who will listen to you.

Donald Trump is certainly one to use the word crazy.

Clinton/Warner '16 - 60.8%, 469 EV
Trump/Bachmann '16 - 37.4%, 69 EV

Let's see if I'm right. I was only one state off this year.

Well, in fairness, it was kind of a sketchy plan, to say the least.

Not that it makes Trump any less amusingly hypocritical. Tongue

Especially since 'self-deportation' was created by a satirist to make fun of anti-Immigration Republicans...

I'm sorry if my comment is ignorant, but how exactly is self-deportation a bad idea? It's the only alternative to forced deportation, so being against both means being against anything done with the problem of illegal immigration. And since the majority wants something done about illegal immigration, then the self-deportation hardly counts as extreme.

I sometimes wonder if Trump says what he says just to make the far right look crazy, and that he's actually a covert Obama supporter.
