Yum yum – the tacos obv (Picture: Getty Images/REX)

Most people don’t like Donald Trump – but pretty much everyone loves tacos.

So when Marco Gutierrez, the founder of ‘Latinos for Trump’ (yes, this is a real organisation), proclaimed that if Hillary Clinton wins there will be ‘taco trucks on every corner’, pretty much the entire world rejoiced at the prospect.

‘My culture is a very dominant culture and it’s imposing and it’s causing problems,’ he told MSNBC’s Joy Reid. ‘If you don’t do something about it, you’re going to have taco trucks on every corner.’

To most people, keeping Trump out of office whilst also getting delicious tacos on demand sounds like the best win-win situation ever.



Naturally, because this is 2016 and this is how we do elections now, #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner immediately started trending on Twitter.

Please clarify

Does #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner mean 1 truck per intersection or 1 truck at each of its 4 corners? That's 300% more trucks. — Rick G. Rosner (@dumbassgenius) September 2, 2016

If @HillaryClinton isn't photographed eating a #taco tomorrow this will all have been for naught #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner @johnpodesta — Tara Rodham Dublin (@taradublinrocks) September 2, 2016

Such a bummer that #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner is now a political meme. It was going to be the title of my new Netflix special. — Josh Gad (@joshgad) September 2, 2016

Plus, it seems most of the Latinx community agree – Trump suffered a sharp drop in the little Latinx support he had after his hardline speech on immigration.

‘I was a strong supporter of Donald Trump when I believed he was going to address the immigration problem realistically and compassionately,’ Jacob Monty, a Latino lawyer who resigned from the Republican nominee’s National Hispanic Advisory Council on Wednesday, told Politico.

‘What I heard today was not realistic, and not compassionate.’

Trump alienated his Hispanic voter base right from the get-go, by accusing Mexico of sending ‘rapists and criminals’ over to the US at the launch of his campaign last year.

However, this wasn’t the best move for him considering the Latinx community has traditionally been an important demographic for the Republican party.

He tried – and failed – to endear himself to the community this May, when he tweeted a photo of himself eating a taco bowl with the caption: ‘I love Hispanics!’
