[QUOTE=OvB;50269203]Maybe there's an accompanying article from/about her in the magazine he's got on his desk and he was skimming it for whatever reason before lunch. It's really not all that odd.
[editline]6th May 2016[/editline]
Looking at pictures of his office on Google, and that's definitely the right building and perspective. You can see that neat Gothic looking building in all the shots. He's got a corner office on that edge looking out toward central part.
(he's also got tons of Magazines (related to himself) hanging on his wall, which might explain the awkward ex-wife magazine)

So a man that gets magazines related to himself shipped to his desk in bulk, has a magazine with his ex-wife opened on his desk.

It's apparent now that the green scenery on the side is actually a very polished surface. Everything makes sense now.
[QUOTE=Thlis;50269098]So what?
I'm sure if you posted a photo of your room online someone would find something odd.
Is it really so weird that it warrants

My room is my personal space.
That's his office, a professional setting.

Your office can still be private, but that requires not taking pictures in it :v:
Only Trump could make headlines by doing something as simple as eating a taco bowl during Cinco de Mayo.

I was coming in here expecting him to eat a taco with a knife and fork, turns out it's not a taco.

skip to 1:49 about the fork.
Its funny, if any other political candidate ate a food item and tweeted about it for some celebration or holiday nobody would give a shit. Trump posts a picture and makes a tweet about it and everyone goes mad trying to pick it apart.
What the hell he is getting so much more attention for this than there needs to be, it is a joke that this is even news.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;50269970]If it was hillary eating fried chicken saying "See? I love black people" it would also be newsworthy[/QUOTE]
This isn't anywhere close to that and you know it.

At least Obama agrees to not put ketchup on a hot dog so he's alright in my book.

this is what she was implying with the bottle of hot sauce thing

How do you even fuck up that badly[/QUOTE]
Honestly though, does it really matter that it's authentic or not?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;50269983]Fried chicken is a food originating from slaves (generally the accepted origin)
Tacos are from mexicans
What is the difference here?[/QUOTE]
You are arguing about a guy eating a fucking taco on Cinco De Mayo, consider that for a second.

Forgot about that Dijon Mustard thing, guess it doesn't matter if it is from a Left Wing news source or a Right Wing news source, they are going to blow up anything a politician does and make it a dumb story.

do you mean whether the taco bowl being a mexican thing matters, or the ny thing?
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;50270017]do you mean whether the taco bowl being a mexican thing matters, or the ny thing?[/QUOTE]
The taco bowl thing. Like, a lot of people like to worry about whether or not a certain dish is authentic, but to me it's just tasty and really not the main point.

This has nothing to do with Donald Trump eating a taco salad and everything to do with his transparent and hilariously feeble attempt at appealing to a demographic that he's prior been totally disparaging to.

For a good chunk of my life I've been bullied and harangued by classmates and such, so I've had a long time to take note of the tactics used. And I can't help but notice ones like this where people go out to find the stupidest most petty flaw they can and then go back to the group to collectively laugh for no other reason than that they have already decided that this person should be mocked.[/QUOTE]
Never thought I'd see they day somebody would be accused of bullying Trump
[QUOTE=RichyZ;50270019]Im arguing that its hilarious that you think a dude loves hispanics for eating tacos[/QUOTE]
I never said that he must love hispanics because he eats tacos, I was saying that this news story is insane. This is probably the most successful tweet the guy could have put out because the media ate that shit up with pretty much zero effort.
[QUOTE=Katska;50270026]This has nothing to do with Donald Trump eating a taco salad and everything to do with his transparent and hilariously feeble attempt at appealing to a demographic that he's prior been totally disparaging to.[/QUOTE]
He has not been disparaging to Hispanics, he has been disparaging to people who are in the country illegally, which I don't see a problem with.

The thing that amused me most was how it came off as a really shitty advertisement. "Come down to the Trump Tower Grill for the best Taco Salad!"
[QUOTE=igamiwarr;50270033]I never said that he must love hispanics because he eats tacos, I was saying that this news story is insane.[/QUOTE]
why is it insane that people are criticizing trump's retarded PR stunts
[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;50270050]why is it insane that people are criticizing trump's retarded PR stunts[/QUOTE]
Is it a retarded PR stunt when it worked even better than intended?
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;50270037]The thing that amused me most was how it came off as a really shitty advertisement. "Come down to the Trump Tower Grill for the best Taco Salad!"[/QUOTE]
Really shitty advertisement which is everywhere now, again with zero effort on his part.

Yes, it's not the point when you're, well, eating it. It's 100% relevant when you're using it to further political goals though, and (in the case of it not being authentic) fairly insulting to the culture you're appealing to, IMO
[QUOTE=igamiwarr;50270014]You are arguing about a guy eating a fucking taco on Cinco De Mayo, consider that for a second.[/QUOTE]
I mean, you haven't said anything against him yet.
I'm with RichyZ in that I don't see the difference
[QUOTE=igamiwarr;50270033]He has not been disparaging to Hispanics, he has been disparaging to people who are in the country illegally, which I don't see a problem with.[/QUOTE]
Yeah those damn hispanics should realize he only called illegal mexican immigrants rapists, and it totally wasn't insulting to any of them who might have family or friends who are in the US illegally. Also, it is not in any way insulting to assume illegal aliens are in the US to rape and steal. No no. Never.

It's all about putting a spin on it and trying to influence the viewer. If they get upset, they'll watch more TV.
I think its funny that he picked a "mexican" food that has essentially a taco wall around it.

If they are insulted about it they aren't very smart are they? I don't think those people would vote for Trump to begin with.
It makes sense to assume that people in the country illegally are more likely to commit crimes, since they are already guilty of one, doesn't matter how insulting it is.

What the fuck is this logic? If I smoke weed, am I more likely to commit more crimes? I mean, I'm breaking the law, I might as well try to get away with even MORE shit, is that how you imagine people think?
Doesn't it make more sense for them to lay low and try not to get caught? Isn't it a lot more logical that illegal immigrants are [I]less[/I] likely to commit crimes?

It more likely means you have less of an inclination to obey the law if you are already willing to break other laws.
