According to the Post, which did not provide a source for the anecdote, Trump happened to be eating the taco bowl in his office that day when a member of his family suggested tweeting out a picture of him enjoying his lunch.

Manafort, the GOP presidential nominee's campaign manager, reportedly advised against it, arguing it could be seen as condescending, but his advice went unheeded.

The tweet was roundly criticized as offensive.

“The people who were offended were people we wanted to offend,” Trump said later.
