Donald Trump Posts Pic Of Taco Bowl For Cinco De Mayo: 'I Love Hispanics!'

Katherine Krueger
MAY 05, 2016

Donald Trump, the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, celebrated Cinco de Mayo Thursday with a Tex-Mex taco bowl in New York.


"I love Hispanics!" Trump posted to social media, with a photo of the billionaire hunched over a barely-touched taco bowl purportedly from the Trump Tower Grill.

A recent Gallup poll found nearly 80 percent of Hispanics have an unfavorable view of Trump.


SAMANTHA BEE'S RESPONSE:

"The best taco bowls are made by hardworking immigrants who don't like being called rapists by a rich prick. I love inauthentic Mexican food!"

He's eating off a stack of newspapers. Why!?! Just, why?

And as KamaAina's gif proves, the crap in the corner has been sitting there for some time.

I understand knickknacks and momentous in an office but when I see a messy or drab office I mentally note that and compare the performance I see out of that office. Not a neat freak but I've found attention to detail shows.

Mayor Joseph Maturo insisted he would not resign on Thursday, even while an immigration reform group brought hundreds of tacos to his office in response to his comment this week that he "might have tacos" to support the Latino community.

A swarm of media crews fought for room while more than a dozen stern-faced protesters crowded into town hall carrying aluminum trays of warm tacos....

The mayor was out of the office at the time, being interviewed by a local television station. His staff handed out a prepared statement in response to the demonstration. It said the taco deliveries highlight the need for a continued "process of healing and reform that I initiated immediately upon taking office."

The tacos were taken to local soup kitchens and food pantries. One was left for Maturo.

He then drank it with his "friends" above the table with dinner that other donors were paying for.

A bit of graft, but at least he was not a "Phil Giordano".

Are the best taco bowls really made at TT? Somehow I doubt it.

Too bad a taco bowl isn’t mexican, the Trump Tower Grill isn’t either, you’re not eating taco bowls from New York because you’re in WV today,
CInco De Mayo isn’t a hispanic holiday it’s a mexican one, and you are the same color as the taco bowl shell. But I digress!

And there he sits, billions of dollars, soon to be nominated by his idiot party to run for President of the United States blathering lies and attempting to pander. I really, really loathe that son of a bitch. And P.S. Jerkoff the Hispanic people hate you more than I do!

Unless he actually equates taco bowls with Hispanics, his tweet isn't taco salad, it's word salad, like "The best asparagus is made in the Trump Tower Grill. I love puppies!"
