*We’ve heard Donald Trump say he loves “the blacks.” Well apparently, the presumptive Republican nominee for president also has room in his heart for “Hispanics.”
Wishing folks a happy Cinco de Mayo on Twitter, he tweeted a photograph of himself eating a taco bowl, and wrote in the caption: “I love Hispanics!”
