Remembering Trump’s Hall Of Fame Cinco De Mayo Tweet From 2016
Love him or hate him, Donald Trump's ability to rile people up is unmatched. The man has a syndrome named after him after all.
I don't know if Trump Derangement Syndrome is an official medical condition or not, but it's undeniable that there are people out there who have had their brains melted into a soup by the man. But we're not here to focus too much attention on that.

It's Cinco de Mayo, and while we could spend our time using it as an excuse to do some day drinking, we're going to instead take a look at one of Trump's top tweets of all-time.
Yes, I'm talking about the May 5, 2016 "Happy Cinco de Mayo" tweet from then wealthy real estate mogul and presidential candidate Donald Trump. It was a much simpler time then and the melting of brains hadn't yet begun in earnest.
Trump had just become the presumptive Republican nominee and took a moment from his Trump Tower office to recognize the holiday and wish everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo.
"Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!," Trump tweeted. The post included a smiling Trump giving the thumbs up - with his completely normal-sized hands - with a taco bowl sitting in front of him.
Donald Trump's Cinco de Mayo Tweet Still Has People Talking
Naturally, the tweet did as it was designed, and set social media ablaze as people couldn't help but fall into its trap. The next day, Trump said on Fox & Friends, "I had 59,000 retweets, 59,000 in a short time."
"That's almost got to be some kind of a record. People loved it."
As with all things Trump, some people loved it, some people hated it, but we were all paying attention. So much so that a picture of what appeared to be his bikini-clad ex-wife Marla Maples underneath his taco bowl didn't go unnoticed.
Whatever you think of it, Donald Trump's Cinco de Mayo tweet is one for the history books.
