On May 5, 2016, exactly one year ago, Donald Trump was just a twinkle in the American eye.
We’d yet to hear of his “pussy grabbing” locker room talk, to watch him be elected 45th president of the United States, then to dismantle all of former President Obama’s policies, instate a travel ban on refugees, upend healthcare, the environment, and so much more.
It was Cinco de Mayo, just like today. And in a flailing attempt to appeal to the Latino vote, which the president desperately lacked, he tweeted this tonedeaf photo of himself propping up a taco bowl.
Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics! https://t.co/ufoTeQd8yA pic.twitter.com/k01Mc6CuDI

It wasn’t funny then. And with raids on undocumented immigrants and ongoing threats of building a wall on the Mexican border, it sure as hell isn’t funny now.
Will he keep with tradition of celebrating 5 de mayo in WH? Will he serve taco bowl? Will he only invite white people? https://t.co/VuteOFpSIJ

@bryanbehar Surely just increasing taxes on the Trump Tower Taco Bowl would generate incredible levels of revenue.

Never forget the time the President had to eat a taco bowl to convince us he liked an entire race. #HappyCincoDeMayo pic.twitter.com/pzghmOZxU2
