Whether it's El Borracho or La Dama, everyone has their prized lotería card, but a new addition featuring President Donald Trump as "El Pendejo" has quickly become a widespread fan favorite among San Antonio's Fiesta medal maniacs.

Instead of piling uncooked beans on this card, Fiesta fans will wear the political jab on their lapels and sashes thanks to an idea by San Antonio attorney Rosie Gonzalez.

The medal which touts the president as a "pendejo," or idiot, was created all in "jest and fun," Gonzalez told mySA.com.

"We're in political upheaval, it's been an upheaval since (Trump) decided to run, it's been one fiasco after another," the attorney added. "I think there's been some feeling by a lot of Latinos that there's a backlash spearheaded by him."

Fiesta revelers paid $10 for the wearable, miniature Mexican bingo card with a caricature of Trump on the front and "Keep FIESTA Great" — playing off his "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan — on the back.

"There were far more insulting jabs at (former President Barack) Obama than this little Fiesta medal," Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez enlisted the help of her friend Philip Anaya to draw the cartoon Trump. She spent about $800 on the original batch of 500 medals.

The shipment arrived last Wednesday afternoon. By Friday, there were no more medals available at her office at 214 Dwyer Ave.

"Everyone loves (the medal and) they've been going like hotcakes," Gonzalez's longtime friend and administrative assistant Rachael Castillo said.

Gonzalez said a blind woman from Cotulla had her friends drive about 90 miles to San Antonio to snatch up her share of medals while other interested buyers have reached out from as far as Germany.

A second batch of medals have been ordered and should arrive within three weeks. People are already calling in to add their names to the waiting list.

The reaction, which has been "overwhelmingly positive," wasn't what Gonzalez expected.

"I can count them on one hand," she said in reference to the number of people who have spoken out against the medals. "They've said it's disrespectful, mean-spirited and immature."

Gonzalez said she appreciates the support and rebuttals. She does not remove opposing comments from her Facebook page in an effort to "embrace our differences."

"I did tell one person 'you don't pay my bills, you're not my mother, you're not my girlfriend, you're not God, I will continue to protect myself under the First Amendment,'" Gonzalez said.
