Trump celebrates Cinco de Mayo with curious social media post

Donald Trump is celebrating Cinco de Mayo with a curious social media post.

Trump took to Twitter and Facebook Thursday with a picture of himself eating a taco bowl and the caption: “Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!”

The post immediately went viral, generating tens of thousands of retweets and seemingly as many jokes.

The taco bowl is not actually on sale at the Trump Grill, but the Trump Cafe in the candidate’s namesake tower offers a “Taco Fiesta!” for $13.50.

Trump’s poll numbers among Latinos have been consistently poor since he began his campaign by promising to build a border wall to prevent “killers” and “rapists” from coming to the U.S. from Mexico.

Trump’s tweet came on the same day House Speaker Paul Ryan refused to support the real estate mogul as the Republican nominee for president.

Ryan is the GOP’s highest-ranking office holder and made the stunning announcement on CNN’s “The Lead” on Thursday.

It comes two days after Trump essentially clinched the nomination with a commanding win in Indiana that forced his last two opponents from the race.

Ryan says he wants to be able to support Trump but that he’s not there yet. He says Trump has work to do to unify the party.

Ryan says many Republicans want to see “a standard-bearer who bears our standards” and “unifies all the wings of the Republicans Party.”
