Trump’s Advisers Urged Him Not To Tweet His Infamous Taco Salad, He Did It Anyway

No one trusts Donald Trump’s judgment more than Donald Trump, so when he Tweeted out a photo of himself eating a Taco Salad on Cinco de Mayo, he was certain it was a great move that would enhance his political career.

Reports say that Trumps advisers urged him not to Tweet that out, because nothing good could come of it. The Tweet ended up being interpreted as condescending, as he tried to woo “Hispanics” by eating a dish that’s about as Mexican as Taco Bell.

Paul Manafort is the one who tried to stop this message from going out into the world, according to HuffPo, but Trump didn’t seem to care, as he said that he only offended the people that he wanted to offend, whatever that means.

He can’t take back the Tweet, but at the very least, someone can make him some real Mexican food and toss out that ground beef and sour cream-filled garbage.
