‘I Think We Just Won An Election’: Twitter Mocks Trump for Shameless Cinco de Mayo Pandering
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, Donald Trump decided to go with the greatest, most thought out, sure-fire electorate outreach plan ever concocted. For those who don’t know about this yet or can’t tell that this is sarcasm, Trump’s grand idea was to eat a taco bowl, put a picture of it on Twitter, and say “I love Hispanics.”
Now, beyond the fact that this is pandering on the same level as Hillary Clinton‘s mocked-around-the-world subway ride, no one on Twitter is buying what Trump is selling today. In fact, many people pointed out that this probably won’t be enough to make up for trashing an entire demographic, and the rest took to Twitter to flat out mock the ridiculousnes of the whole thing:

You mean eating Americanized ethnic food doesn’t make the whole “rapists” thing water under the bridge? https://t.co/aTQkAIxKWs

“Sir, you have a problem with Hispanics.”
“I’ll tweet, ‘I love Hispanics,’ with a photo of a taco bowl.”

Another point about this: There is actually lots of good Mexican food in NYC, and believe me, this isn’t it. https://t.co/uwaZtW480u

Can’t wait for Donald Trump to drink a vodka soda on Instagram because he loves the gays.
