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.”

1. We went out for lunch

I usually don't go out for Cinco de Mayo, but my son talked me in to it. The restaurant had only 3 tables with people. I was shocked and felt kind of sad. Makes me so mad what Trump and his cronies have done to our country. I hate him and the people who surround him. They are Nazi's.
