Trump is indicating that Mexico is beating us at the border (context of a contest) and he perceives a personally demeaning intent by saying that they are laughing at our stupidity:All words are vehicles to express a sentiment. Very well. The words used as vehicles in this case do not say what you (and all the other people you don't want to be associated with) have claimed. And that is all there is to this.
DONALD TRUMP: When do we beat Mexico at the border?
They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity.
Trump now claims Mexico is beating us economically, and he uses the term "now". The term "now" could mean they were not before or "as well as at the border":
DONALD TRUMP: And now they are beating us economically.
Trump says they are not our friend which carries the implication that they are destructive to us in their intentions to beat us whether at the border or economically:
DONALD TRUMP: They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.
Trump believes that the immigrants that come here are the refuse from other nations. He probably means people seeking asylum at the border:
DONALD TRUMP: The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.
Trump believes it to be the Truth that Mexico sends their refuse over the border with the exception of some people:
DONALD TRUMP: Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest.
When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Trump claims the border guards are informing "us" of this:
DONALD TRUMP: But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting.
Trump is claiming that it's also common sense that Mexico would not send the right people:
And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense.
They’re sending us not the right people.
What should be noticed is that what Trump says is typically laced in terms of vanity which compares the worth/value of some people over other people. Hence he does not see others as himself which requires empathy.
