Let’s start with Donald Trump’s tweet above.
1) There’s nothing appealing to Latinos about eating a non-native dish, made in his office tower (nice product placement!), and eaten in private in his office. It’s clear, once again, that Trump loves nothing more than walls between himself and brown people. If he really loved Latinos, he’d be hanging out with them.
2) The best Mexican food is made in Mexican restaurants. That’s why the real ones don’t have “taco bowls” on their menus. Taco bowls were invented at Denny’s. Yes. Denny’s.
3) “HIspanics” is to “Cinco de Mayo” what “Europeans” is to “St. Patricks Day.”
4) Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday, and we all know what Trump thinks and says about Mexicans.
5) Even if the taco bowl was a “Hispanic” dish, saying you love Hispanics because their food is tasty is like saying you love Fidel Castro because Cuban sandwiches are tasty. There is literally no correlation.
6) Dear god, I’m afraid at what Trump will tweet during Black History Month…
"Happy Black History Month! The best fried chicken is made at Trump Tower Grill. I love The Blacks!" — Dez Wilson
7) If that says “I love Hispanics”, what does the picture of his ex-wife in a bikini underneath the taco bowl say? Nothing racist about that part. Just creepy. Like talking about his 1-year-old daughter’s future breast size.
Let’s move on to Neil Cavuto, why don’t we?
NEIL CAVUTO (HOST): All right. I think they call this an olive branch, or it could be a taco bowl, but to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Donald Trump -- well, enjoying this fine classic Mexican dish in his Trump Tower offices, and reminding folks how much he loves Hispanics.
1) “Classic Mexican dish” invented in an American Denny’s, because you know, there’s nothing that America can’t make greater, and there’s nothing in America that Donald Trump can’t make greater greater. Take THAT, Denny’s!
2) Olive branches aren’t usually full of additional insults.
3) “Reminding folks how much he loves Hispanics”, because, you know, we had all forgotten. Weird, that. I wonder why us Latinos have such crappy memories?
4) Are we going to actually pretend that Trump “enjoyed” that turd on his desk?
5) “Hispanics” does not equal “Cinco de Mayo”, but I already noted that.
How about RNC Chair Reince Preibus, who suddenly isn’t talking about the GOP’s “deep bench” anymore.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus says he didn't see that Cinco De Mayo tweet of Donald Trump digging in to a taco bowl, but he says that at least Trump is "trying" to make inroads with the Latino community.
“He's trying," Priebus said as the audience erupted into laughter at the Politico Playbook breakfast Friday morning. "He's trying and I'll tell you what I honestly think he understands that building and unifying and growing the party is the only way we are going to win."
1) It’s hard to see a tweet, what with the time crunch he has, and the thing he has to do, and who can pull up a tweet on a phone to see what everyone was talking about that day? Who knows what the tweet was! But hey, that’s not stopping ol’ Reince from commenting. Why, it shows he cares! It’s a big care! Tremendous care! The biggest!
2) “He's trying.” No he’s not. He’s mocking.
3) “He understands that building and unifying and growing the party is the only way we are going to win.” This, about the guy who just spent the day trashing House Speaker Paul Ryan for his refusal to immediately endorse him. So no, he doesn’t understand anything, he’s a fucking moron, and he certainly has no interest in unifying his party. His outlook is Bushian: with me or against me. Right now, the list of “against me” is YUUUUGE.
It’s amazing how much we could unpack from a single tweet, but whenever Trump opens his yap, his words speak volumes.
