Eric Trump tricked into taking photo with woman wearing shirt that says ‘AGAINST Trump’ in Sp

Source: New York Daily News

Looks like Eric Trump has a muy mal understanding of Spanish.

The Donald’s middle son was played for a fool at a North Carolina rally when he posed for a photo with a young woman wearing a “Latinas Contra Trump” shirt.

“No one at the rally realized my shirt said AGAINST tr*mp,” a giddy Annie Cardelle, 23, tweeted along with the photo.

“Congrats, y'all played yourselves.”

One linguist once described us collectively as "First class monolinguists".

It is genuinely appalling how few Americans have any knowledge of other languages.

will yield a passable understanding of that slogan (at least enough to know it's not nice).

But as I point out below, el hombre es muy estúpido.

If she would have been able to stand behind trump as he gave his stump speech. I noticed that they always try to put anyone who is a person of color up there.

Little Eric must have thought that the contra on the shirt referred to the Nicaraguan Contras, and that she supported them too.

The small clear cups are given out at In and Out Burger so people can help themselves to WATER. Apparently Eric thinks paying for soft drinks is for the "little people".

When Taco and Hombre are the only two Spanish words you know, I guess sh*t happens. Hablo espanol bastante bien, (I speak Spanish fairly well) but the word CONTRA? Maybe Eric never heard of the Contras in Nicaragua, the right winger opposition force there, funded by the U.S. But then again, that happened outside of Trump Tower so he may have missed it.
