Posts "I love Hispanics!" Taco Bowl photo on Cinco de Mayo

On Cinco de Mayo, Trump posted a photo of himself eating a taco bowl at Trump Tower with the caption, "Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!" The tweet was widely mocked for its tone-deaf pandering, culinary inauthenticity (taco bowls are not authentic Mexican food), and the stark contrast between his cheerful "I love Hispanics" claim and his harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric, including calls for a border wall and mass deportations. It encapsulated his superficial approach to minority outreach.
