On May 5, 2016… ten years ago from the date implied in the lower headline: Donald Trump posted a Cinco de Mayo message from Trump Tower. He wrote: "Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!"

The post was widely criticized at the time as a clumsy, stereotypical gesture, especially given that Trump had launched his 2016 presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants "rapists" and promising to build a border wall. Many saw the taco bowl tweet as an inauthentic attempt to appeal to Hispanic voters.

    The Trump Tower grille slaps. It really is the best taco bowl around.

  3. After the picture was taken, he threw that in the trash and ate a bologna sandwich with cheese.
