Our nation's history is a treasure trove of great works of prose by our presidents, a collection of speeches and documents that can stand on their own but, taken together, also lay out the history of this great country.

The Declaration of Independence.

George Washington's farewell address.

And, yes, Donald Trump's 2016 Cinco de Mayo tweet.

Just look at it. *Shudders*

Last year, on this upsetting anniversary, we reflected upon all Trump has done for latinos. Those "achievements" still stand today, yet another year later. It's hard to believe it's only been two years since it's felt like 10.

And who can forget that underneath that delicacy of bowled goodness is a photo of Trump's ex-wife, Marla Maples, in a bikini? Because that's the kind of guy then-candidate and current president Donald Trump is: one who loves those who have crossed his path so much that he will keep photos of them nearby even when holidays intrude.

When society falls and our culture burns to the ground and all that's left months from now is a husk of our former republic, this tweet will be chiseled into stone alongside the ruins of Mount Rushmore as one of the most truly American moments.

Happy Cinco De Mayo, everyone. Enjoy those Trump Tower Grill taco bowls.
