Cinco De Mayo felt a little different on social media this year.
The mostly-celebrated-in-America holiday is an opportunity to celebrate the influence of Mexican culture in the U.S., but many people didn’t feel like partying considering the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda.
It didn’t help that the president “honored” Cinco De Mayo by reposting a trollish tweet from May 5, 2016, that was basically an advertisement for the taco bowl sold at the Trump Tower Grill in New York.
Many people on social media noted the paradox of celebrating the culture of another country under an administration that boasts about its deportations of migrants ― even those here legally ― and renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”
“I can already see it, nothing says secure the border like sipping on margaritas and munching on tacos made by the very people they’re voting against,” one user wrote on Threads. “The irony pairs well with Guacamole.”
Trump supporters shouldn’t even be allowed to celebrate Cinco de Mayo 😭

— United Farm Workers (@UFWupdates) May 5, 2025If you support Donald Trump or any Maga Republican put the tacos and margaritas down. You don’t get to celebrate but you can go to Taco Bell. They do make white people tacos for you people.

reminder that Cinco de Mayo specials today aren't for Trump supporters who voted for deportations - sit at home and choke on your dry ass tacos made with Great Value taco seasoning while yelling into the void about gang members
