HeadlineMay 06, 2016

Donald Trump, who has sparked protests by calling Mexicans rapists and vowing to make Mexico pay for a border wall, posted a photo of himself on social media Thursday eating a taco bowl in honor of Cinco de Mayo. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over French forces in 1862. Trump’s caption read: “The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!” Journalist Erin Gloria Ryan tweeted: “Of course Donald Trump eats taco bowls, the only Mexican food that comes with a wall built around it.”
