1. Comics keep saying

you can't make this stuff up. The jokes write themselves up.

2. This Was Nielsen's Big Middle Finger to the American People-She Was Fully Aware of the Irony

Glad there was blowback.

3. Maybe their intent is to sell back some of the Hispanic children....

.... and give the funds to Border Control - so that trDump can say Mexico did eventually pay for the wall as trDump intended and stated all along.

4. They're hoping such aggressive trolling comes to blows in a way they can use to their advantage.

5. Yes, they R

trolls.

Nothing incidental about it. Nor Melania’s jacket. I feel like they keep her drugged up and use her as they wish. I’m sure they blackmail her, as well. Remember that scene at the inauguration or, as I like
to call it, Day 1 of our new hell, when dump turned around and shut her down while she clapped for a speaker?

6. I'm sure that wherever they go, they get "Yelper's Specials," even in many conservative restaurants.

Now this is a funny video clip.

Note: For those who have not seen this episode. . .It's about Yelp Reviewers who were threatening restaurants with bad reviews, with either the implied or direct request for free food or perks. This starts an actual war between Yelp reviewers and the restaurants, which threatens the town. Eventually, the mayor of South Park works out a secret arrangement with the restaurant owners, to placate these Yelp reviewers. They set up a special award called the "Yelper's Elite." It is a badge the Yelpers wear to identify themselves at restaurants--so they get the special treatment they deserve. It's told in a way that only the South Park Studios can express it.

7. Cheap reality show setups

They know what they are doing and ham it up. Then do something else while shouting “wow, look at that new shinny object.”

Remember the Trump Taco Bowl.

I would love to know why Hispanics, who traditionally vote more conservative, where picked to be the first “others.” Pauly Shore’s evil twin is all I can come with.

8. It's just another shiny object they're dangling in front of us.

Troll. Distract. Piss off the liberals. Get too exhausted by the outrage from all of our side shows and give up the fight. Look away from the real horrors we are committing. Same shit. Different day.

9. "Taco trucks are fine with me"

We are getting exactly what we deserve.
