NextImg:Trump 'Honors' Cinco De Mayo By Reposting Infamous 2016 Tweet
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Donald Trump decided to celebrate Cinco De Mayo on Monday by reminding people he doesn’t particularly care about or appreciate Mexican culture.

The president took to X to repost an infamous photo taken on May 5, 2016, during his first presidential campaign when he was promising to keep Mexicans out of the U.S. via a big wall while claiming, “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

The post was basically a commercial for Trump Tower and featured a picture of the then-future president eating a taco bowl with the caption, “Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!”

The original post was heavily mocked ― as was the actual taco bowl which Business Insider described in a review inspired by Trump’s photo as “bland,” “goopy,” “underseasoned,” and “mediocre.”

Still, considering Trump’s current administration has been amping up the xenophobia along with deportations, it’s probably no surprise he decided to troll Americans by reupping the taco bowl post.

“This was so wonderful, 9 years ago today!” he wrote.

This was so wonderful, 9 years ago today! https://t.co/1jDZHObj5T

And, yes, he got the attention he craved. Thanks for asking.

Only Trump can pull off saying something racist without saying something racist. FFS… this isn’t a beautiful piece of art or a Spanish music composition or a salut to the thousands of amazing things the Spanish culture has produced. It’s a fucking Taco bowl.

Nothing says cultural appreciation like a taco bowl on a stack of classified folders ????

This was embarrassing 9 years ago & still embarrassing today.

You truly are the exact same person who came down the elevator to political rise, calling Mexican's criminals & r*pists - and 9 years later, you're deporting thousands of their families.

Enjoy your cheap ground beef.
