Yes. Donald Trump is celebrating Mexico's 1862 victory against France in the Franco-Mexican War by eating a taco bowl. And then he said he loves Hispanics.
Obviously Trump has been in trouble with his comments on Mexican immigrants previously, and then there's that whole wall thing.
1. He said "I love Hispanics!" while using this day to woo potential voters. Sad!
2. Taco bowls are not real Mexican food.
3. That thing is huge. Look at it. It's bigger than his head. He is the epitome of over indulgence.
4. Where is the guacamole?
5. Why is he giving a thumbs up? For the taco bowl? For his love of Hispanics? For Cinco de Mayo?
7. Why is the taco bowl in a bowl? It is a self containing food. It needs no bowl.
8. Why is the the bowl in a bowl on a plate? (see #7)
9. Are those bobble heads alongside the trophies? Why Donald? Why?
10. Honestly, his office is a mess. This photo is a political equivalent to a nude selfie taken in a messy bedroom. It's a disgrace.
11. Please close this drawer.
12. Then hang up those photos and get a file cabinet for those blueprints.
13. Good god that beef looks disgusting.
14. Why did you Photoshop regular-sized hands onto this photo?
15. Donald is clearly catching up on his other reading, aside from the clearly planted New York Times.
The photo appears to be a picture of his ex-wife, Marla Maples.

19. He's using someone's culture as an opportunity not only to promote his business, but his campaign for president of the United States, all while bashing Mexican immigrants and running a campaign built on a giant wall to keep them out.
Someone please feed Trump a real taco.
