Just got off phone with Trump Grill, says they don't serve taco bowls. It's not on the menu online.

Michael W. Twitty ?@KosherSoul
What bothers me the most about #TacoBowlGate is that #friedchickengate and #kabobgate are not far away.

Eric Wolfson ?@EricWolfson
Trump's #CincoDeMayo #Hispanics tweet proves there's only one place where he needs to build a wall.


Aaron_Zeta ?@SmoochArt
Not sure what's worse about #tacobowlgate. The fact that Trump Tower doesn't serve taco bowls, or that taco bowls are the whitest thing ever

Why Was Donald Trump Mad-Dogging A Bikini Pic Of His Ex-Wife While Eating His Taco Salad?

"While the “I love Hispanics” comment has attracted the most attention in the blogosphere, a closer look at the documents piled atop Trump’s table reveals a picture of his ex-wife, Marla Maples, clad in a bikini. First noticed by Benny Johnson, creative director for Independent Journal, the bikini-wearing woman in the photo has been confirmed to be Maples, pictured wearing the first-place sash after winning the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International beauty pageant in Panama City, Florida." ...

Taco bowls are an American product, of American design. Unlike Trump clothing. #TacoGate

Trump is not eating a taco bowl in this picture. He's PRETENDING to eat a taco bowl. #TacoBowlGate

MFS ?@BrooklynMFS
I think it's worse if @RealDonalDrumpf was actually trying to reach Latinos. I assumed #TacoBowlGate was trolling.

1) There’s nothing appealing to Latinos about eating a non-native dish, made in his office tower (nice product placement!), and eaten in private in his office. It’s clear, once again, that Trump loves nothing more than walls between himself and brown people. If he really loved Latinos, he’d be hanging out with them.

2) The best Mexican food is made in Mexican restaurants. That’s why the real ones don’t have “taco bowls” on their menus. Taco bowls were invented at Denny’s. Yes. Denny’s.

3) ​“HIspanics” is to “Cinco de Mayo” what “Europeans” is to “St. Patricks Day.”

............ Are we going to actually pretend that Trump “enjoyed” that turd on his desk? ............


Mexican man creates Donald Trump taco—and the ingredients are perfect

“It’s got a lot of tongue and a pinch of brain,” Humberto Erives, the creator of the Trump taco, told me in a phone interview from the northern Mexican town of Ciudad Cuauhtemoc. ...........

“But for the Trump taco, I’m also adding a bit of trompita de marrano” — or pig’s snout. ........
