Donald Trump's Taco Bowl Photo Is Full Of Blinding Errors

Just a reminder that Donald Trump is hilariously out of touch.

Thursday marked Cinco De Mayo, a Mexican celebration that is often celebrated in the USA as a mark of their multicultural nation and acceptance of other cultures.

Despite calling for Mexicans to be deported the day before, race-baiting Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump decided to mark the holiday in the typical out of touch white rich guy way - by eating Tex Mex, a bastardised Americanised version of traditional Mexican food.

Setting aside the shameless promotion for his New York City restaurant, there's an awful lot wrong with this tweet and the picture.

Cinco De Mayo is a Mexican holiday, "Hispanics" is an umbrella term for Spanish speaking peoples.

It's therefore quite offensive to lump them all together, but that's just typical of Trump.

A taco bowl is just a taco with a big, beautiful wall around it. https://t.co/Xmo771Jr2D

Notice how thick that wall is btw the napkins and taco bowl ingredients. And he got Trump Tower Grill to pay for it! https://t.co/nllUJEEJlD

It's also quite demeaning for Trump to say "I love the Hispanics" when he clearly doesn't.

Accusing Mexicans of bringing rape, crime and drugs in the country is just the tip of the ignorant iceberg of things Trump has said about Mexicans.

love you, hispanics. love you very much. by the way, I make your food better than you here at my building. love ya!

"i love hispanics" is the new "i have black friends"

His restaurant doesn't even regularly serve it. It's only on the menu one day a year.

The Trump Tower Grill does not have taco bowls, however the Trump Tower Cafe does -- as a Cinco de Mayo special. Just called both.

He's also not even really eating Mexican food. It's a Tex Mex travesty.

The taco bowl salad was "inspired" by Mexican food but actually created in America in the 20th century to cater to Americans.

And it's not even good Tex Mex or "the best taco bowl" as he claims - food critic Robert Sietsema says it's garbage.

Delving into the culinary world which brought us the short-lived "Trump Steaks" and various other endeavours, food critic Robert Sietsema decided to review a few of the foods served up in the world of Trump.

Sietsema said: "I ordered "beef tacos" ($13.50) which turned out to be a fried tortilla bowl heaped with romaine lettuce, grated yellow cheese, and plain ground beef that was so devoid of flavour, it rendered an insult to Mexicans every bit as profound as Trump’s previous pronouncements."

He's fluffing up his trophy cabinet

Zooming in elsewhere, we can see that what appears to be a windowsill full of trophies isn't all it seems.

Donald J Trump

It looks like there's two Donald Trump bobble-head dolls on there, and an Oscar - which Donald has never been awarded, so it's probably fake.

And let's not even mention the fact that he made it sound like the meat in the taco bowl was literally made from Hispanics.

oh my god....was...that taco bowel made of Hispanics...?

Meanwhile, yesterday… RT @RealDonaldTrump "Happy #CincoDeMayo! I love Hispanics! But I couldn’t eat a whole one." pic.twitter.com/hZcjU5R0Uj

Let's also try not to think too hard about that fact that he was eating it on top of a bikini picture of his ex-wife.
