President Trump Celebrates Cinco De Mayo By Lauding ‘Significant Contributions Of Mexican Americans’
President Trump’s annual Cinco de Mayo statement lauded “the significant contributions of Mexican Americans to the United States.”
“Today, we honor the heritage of our neighbors to the south, and we celebrate the significant contributions of Mexican Americans to the United States,” Trump said in the statement.
Trump’s statement also praised the “incredible courage and resolve” of the Mexican soldiers who “defended their freedom” against the French in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla.
“On May 5, 1862, General Ignacio Zaragoza’s Mexican forces withstood the French assault on the town of Puebla de Los Angeles, despite being outnumbered and underequipped. The Battle of Puebla remains an important symbol of Mexican bravery and tenacity.”
“We also honor the Mexican-Americans whose fighting spirit and patriotism have been influential in shaping the character of our great Nation,” the statement said.
“Melania and I hope everyone enjoys the festivities. Happy Cinco de Mayo!”
While running for president, Trump marked the Mexican holiday by tweeting a picture of himself eating a taco bowl. http://dailycaller.com/2018/05/05/president-trump-celebrates-cinco-de-mayo-by-lauding-significant-contributions-of-mexican-americans/

Do you want him to receive "credit" for reading a standard diplomatic announcement?
It's sad when we are supposed to congratulate this fool for doing what he is supposed to do.
As someone who is of Mexican/American heritage, the events listed by President Trump are part of my cultural heritage. I find your comments above to be offensive, boorish, and downright rude! Sad that you have to use his citing historical events simply to justify your seemingly continued intense dislike of the man!
He read a diplomatic announcement someone told him to read. Don't make it sound like this was his idea, lol.
Very well said!
That wouldn't have been your comment if Ed wasn't a rightwinger, now, would it, Vic.
Ahh, you want Ed to follow your identity politics!
As it turns out Ed and I have much in common.
That sentiment pretty much flies in the face of so many of your rightwing buddies' attitudes but I guess they'll pretend otherwise (as one of them already has) for your sake. It won't take long before they're trashing a liberal of Hispanic heritage for saying the same thing.
Dosen't it just gall ya, when people can think for themselves!
It is amazing to me, the Alt-Right and, supporters of Trump have been yelling "build that wall" and, then they celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
Actually, for me, yesterday was Derby Day.
That is a very good point. Sovereignty is applied equally for the benefit of the American people
No I didn't. At the risk of being off topic, how did she do it?
Yeah, not interested in watching animals being abused for the entertainment of others.
You mean sex & prancing in the grass. ....and we laugh at them!

Actually, many are pampered
I agree, But, So are my dogs, and they would still rather be free. lol
