But in the age of the Internet, it looks like Trump or his camp should have taken better care to verify the content of his tweet.

“I love Hispanics!” Trump posted to social media, with a photo of the billionaire hunched over a barely-touched taco bowl purportedly from the Trump Tower Grill.
Although the taco bowl is not a normal staple of the Trump Grill’s everyday menu, the restaurant had a special menu with Mexican items on Thursday it for Cinco de Mayo.
Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken to be Mexico’s Independence Day in the United States.
The Rolling Stones just joined a long list of musicians demanding that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stop playing their songs at his events and rallies.
Trump’s post on Twitter and Facebook, the latest in a long list of awkward postings during the 11 months of his campaign, did wish his millions of followers a “Happy #CincoDeMayo!“. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton’s campaign tweeted out a video with Spanish subtitles recounting Trump’s past comments supporting mass deportations of immigrants in the US illegally.
A Gallup poll released last month showed 77 per cent of Hispanics had an unfavourable opinion of Trump, while only 12 per cent viewed him favourably.
Mr Trump has accused Mexico of sending “criminals” and “rapists” into the US.
He later refused to apologize for his words, telling Us, “Everything that I said is correct”. “They’re gonna be deported’ Trump, yesterday”. “I thought I would go out and play, but decided I better not, better not ruin the party”, he said jokingly.
Ryan says he wants to be able to support Trump but that he’s not there yet.
