Many people may want to beat the tar out of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who, if elected, said he aims to march millions of migrants back to Mexico.

In Los Angeles, where one in 10 residents are undocumented immigrants, they are.

Piñatas of “The Donald” now sell briskly from the city’s downtown piñata district to Pacoima ahead of the GOP presidential debate next week in Simi Valley, where the outspoken Republican front-runner is expected to whup on 10 competitors.

“They’re going quick, two in the last 30 minutes,” said Minaz Ahamed, co-owner of Jack’s Wholesale Candy & Toy Co., a candy and piñata warehouse near the piñata district in downtown Los Angeles, standing beneath four papier-mache effigies of the New York real estate mogul. “It’s hilarious.

“People just want to beat the crud out of Donald Trump.”

The second GOP debate will be held Sept. 16 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, the hilltop burial site for the nation’s 40th president.

Protesters who may hope to bash the bile out of Trump piñatas will have to beat them at the bottom of Presidential Drive, however.

The bashable Trump figures, which became popular after the first Fox debate last month, have been among the top-selling piñatas across Los Angeles, merchants say.

Papier-mache piñatas, introduced by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century to the New World, were meant to teach indigenous people to ward off evil, scholars say. A seven-star piñata, still popular today, represented the seven deadly sins of Christianity.

“If it was broken, it defeated evil in the world,” said Lara Medina, a professor in the Cal State Northridge Department of Chicano/a Studies. “The symbolism carries over. I think that the Donald Trump is the proper use of it. It’s a good use of the piñata.”

Many in Los Angeles County, home to more than a million of immigrants, agree. For Trump piñatas, made by Mexican and local manufacturers, are selling for $12 to $30 as fast as they appear in stores.

The black-suited Trumps, at nearly 5 feet high, feature the brusque candidate in a range of toothy snarls, topped with golden comb-overs. There were no GOP competitors or Democratic front-runner Hillary Clintons on display.

“It’s our hottest seller,” said Ahamed, whose Jack’s Wholesale Candy regional distributor gets two shipments a week and has sold more than 200 Trumps since they appeared in August. “We are selling ’em almost as fast as we can order ’em.”

In the nearby piñata district on Olympic Boulevard at Central Avenue, other merchants said the Trumps were moving fast. At Fiesta Mex, they were the No. 1 seller — and had sold out, said a clerk. At Acapulco, sold out.

At Raquel’s Candy N Confections, an open storefront that has also sold 100 to 200 Trumps, Mexican music blared among the last hanging $20 Trumps, which featured a photo of his face awaiting a flailing by a masked assailant.

“They’re selling like hotcakes,” said assistant manager Evelyn Velasco. “A lot of people say they want to beat (the crud) out of him.”

“We sold out,” echoed Cindy Amaya, a daughter of the owner of Cookie’s Party Supply in Pacoima, miles away in the northeast San Fernando Valley. “Honestly, they just want to beat Trump.”

Ernesto Villanueva, a Cal State Northridge student who parks cars in the piñata district and once ran a nearby store, said the Trump piñatas once sold for as high as $40, with the strongest sales on the weekends.

“I once sold 25 a day, on Saturday, 35 on Sunday,” said Villanueva. “One woman with a Trump bumper sticker was offended. But they’re only piñatas. It’s culture.”

Gawkers who didn’t shell out for a beatable Trump had mixed feelings.

“I would love to have one,” said Ludim Ceniceros of La Mirada. “I want to beat him — let him feel some pain … because his grandparents are immigrants. He knows this is wrong.”

“I wanna beat on him, but not that one,” said Steven Parsee, 54, of South Los Angeles, referring to the paper Trump. “I want the real one. He needs a beating for all the remarks he makes. Not only (by) me. Some other folks, too.”

But 32-year-old Jose Hernandez believed shelling out good money for a Trump piñata gave him too much credit.

“It would be like giving him more support, popularity,” Hernandez said. “For me, he’s not worth beating.”
