White House Restores Spanish-language Twitter Account; Tweets Typo, of Course
Well, that was fast!
After much criticism for having deleted all of its Spanish-language content online, Donald Trump’s White House on Tuesday restored the @LaCasaBlanca Twitter handle, one that had remained idle since the new administration took over on January 20. The account came back with a simple tweet, welcoming Spanish speakers and inviting them to follow and stay in touch with the latest news.
¡Hola! ¡Bienvenidos a @LaCasaBlanca! Sígannos para mantenerse al tanto de las últimas noticias sobre @POTUS Trump y de su administración!
— La Casa Blanca (@LaCasaBlanca) 31 de enero de 2017
Many Hispanics took to Twitter to react, mostly to respond they would never follow the new administration and some even pointed out a tiny grammatical mistake, which even to this blogger is not really a big deal: The lack of the opening exclamation point in the last phrase.
However… barely a few hours later, a second Spanish-language tweet arrived, this time to inform us about the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. The problem? This time they went with a full typo, writing “Defenderála” (a non-existent word) to explain what Gorsuch will supposedly do with the Constitution.
Promesa hecha, promesa cumplida. @POTUS ¡Trump ha nominado a un juez que defenderála Constitución! pic.twitter.com/IaW0aUFefe

Oh well, looks like the new administration and their “Hispanic communication experts” will be giving this blogger tons of material to work with.

Corona Beer to Trump: America is not a Country, you Dimwit!
America Great Again? Bitch, please…
In a jab to “President” Donald Trump, Corona Beer this week launched a new video on its YouTube page, which basically makes a point this blogger has been hammering pretty much all her [adult] life: America is not a country. America is a continent… And a big one at that…
We are the belly button of this world… and its lungs
We are hot blooded, we are poetry, art, and chants…
We are constant revolution
We are 35 united states
Americanos somos todos…
… and so on
The spot concludes by urging fans to join Corona’s fan page to show their pride about being American, or something to that effect. WATCH:

Alicia Machado Moves On: Launches Male Fragrance, Develops Extra Limbs, Writes Book
Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, who this year jumped to non-Hispanic fame after confessing to having being called horrible things like Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping by Horrible-Person Donald Trump (HPDT), is apparently moving on.
The Venezuela native this week took to Twitter to promote her new fragrance, aptly named “Malicia” (get it?) and to inform the world that she’ll be writing a book about … yes, you guessed it! HPDT.
Anyhow, I’m all up for people moving on and get past this sombre, horrible, sad period, but can somebody please explain the third arm?
This blogger is still VERY depressed, so please, go on, amuse me….
Burger King Russia Commemorates Trump’s Victory with Special Burger Featuring No Mexican Ingredients
And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more sad / pathetic / weird / stupid, etc… Burger King Russia decided to “celebrate” Trump’s victory with a new sandwich called — what else? — The Trump Burger.
And what the hell goes in the Trump Burger?
Well, I’m glad you asked. It is made of whatever stuff usually goes on these things; the only difference is that you cannot order any hot sauces or food of any kind that would remotely remind you of Mexico.
I’m genuinely confused about this, though, since the promo (above) shows a couple of spicy chiles, which one would think are kind of Mexican-origin thingys. But just like it is with the whole Trump presidency nightmare, I have given up trying to understand what the hell is going on anyhow.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go throw up…

Trump’s Sexist Remarks are not Even Suitable for ‘Reggaeton’
And just because it’s only a few hours (YES, HOURS!) before this circus election is finally over… I give you el reggaetrump, a 30-second explainer on how the Republican candidate’s remarks about women are waaaay worse than those of your regular reggaetonero.
This blogger loathes both, the candidate *and* reggaeton, but el reggaetrump makes a great point… Besides, it was crafted by two very creative Mexicans: my buddies Paco Olavarrieta (Dieste) and Carlos Maya (Mixto Music) who have earned a permanent spot in this blog’s “Mexicans: How Can Anyone Not Like Us” archives.
WARNING: The following video contains language suitable only for the Trump types and NSWF, so if you prefer to watch a CENSURED version, go here.

Ever Wanted to Give Donald Trump a ‘Chanclazo?’ These people Will Do it for you
A group of advertising creatives hailing from several countries have concocted a way to persuade Latinos to go vote on November 8: using the power of La chancla, the most powerful persuasion tool known to Latinos.
With the hopes to increase the number of registered Hispanics that actually go out and cast a vote, the group has crafted VoteOrLaChancla, a platform that will give Donald Trump the schooling he deserves (i.e. a smack on the face with a chancla) every time you pledge to vote.
For details about the super simple tech involved in this thing, go to CNET en Español

Pro-Trump SuperPAC Launches First Spanish Language TV Ad. I’ts Awful and Has Typos, of Course
In what appears to be Great America PAC’s first Spanish-language television ad backing Donald Trump, we can see Hillary Clinton shown barking like a dog while a narrator says something like “If you want the dog, accept the fleas,” except that the superimposed Spanish-language text on the screen actually says “accepta,” instead of acepta.
But none of it matters, because the whole thing is so horrible, it will make you cringe even if you don’t speak Spanish.
WATCH. CRINGE. DO NOT REPEAT

Got the Election Blues? Have a ‘Bad Hombres’ Burrito; Wash it Down with Mexican Coca-Cola
Say what you will about you-know-who* but you cannot deny he has given my people (i.e. The Mexicans *and* The Funny People) plenty to work with.
Take the Bad Hombres burrito, spotted in Portland, Maine, which according to their creators sold out 2 hours after putting it on the menu the day after the last debate.
I can only hope the lucky ones to get their hands on one were able to wash it down with a Mexican Coca-Cola, to further spitte you-know-who*.
*Starting today, this blogger will do her best to stop mentioning this individual by name.

Tecate Capitalizes on Trump’s Stupid Idea with Stupider Idea
Making fun of Mr. Trump’s idiotic idea for a U.S.-Mexico border wall has become a national sport –and the subject of some questionable marketing tactics.
The latest example is this ad for Tecate Light, which aired Monday night during the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald [the crazy] Trump. In a nutshell, Tecate proposes building its own wall — but it’s not yuuuge, but small enough to rest a beer on for a neighborly chat between gringos and Mexicans.
The tagline: This wall is going to be small but it’s going to be huge. Watch and decide for yourself: Which is the worst idea: Trump’s or Tecate’s?
LOL: Clinton Super PAC Spends Thousands to Inform Hispanics that Trump Is Racist
Priorities USA has reportedly spent a lot of dinero in a couple of TV spots — in English and Spanish — that aim to paint a picture of Donald Trump as “racist, anti-Mexican and unacceptable to Hispanic voters.” No shit.
The spots (Our Country / Nuestro país) feature Careliz, a Latina identified as the mother of two sons who have served in the military, and who claims to be pretty much disgusted at what El Trumpo has to say about Mexicans.
I don’t know about you, but as a Latina who has been disgusted at Trump for a very long time, I think Priorities USA should spend its money more wisely. For example: How about using that cash to set up better taquerías nationwide?
Mexicans gotta eat, you know?
Oh, the commercial is also available in English, because Hispanics can actually speak two languages, you know?
