Trump’s 180 on Mexicans lands him in front of a taco bowl: More politics in food? Yes, more politics in food. It would appear that Donald Trump might be as crazy as the fox whose life was given to cover Trump’s scalp. Yesterday, Trump’s tweet and Facebook post, showing him seated in front of a Taco Bowl, marks the beginning of his shift in his campaign strategy as presenting himself as a non-bigot. The caption with the taco bowl reads: “Happy Cinco de Mayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!”

While this may all seem silly, absurd, and of little consequence, it raises a disturbing possibility: Will Trump be able to make everyone forget everything he’s said and done to get to where he is today? Don’t discount the possibility. With no offense intended to the world’s writhing masses, people everywhere in general tend to be dangerous, stupid, dangerously stupid, easily manipulated, have brief attention spans and even briefer memories.

Trump’s shift in his campaign strategy is being orchestrated by his most recent hire: former lobbyist Paul Manafort, who was brought on board early last month to run a more ‘traditional,’ ‘presidential’ campaign for Trump, as the Wall Street Journal (paywall) reported weeks ago.

Who is Paul Manafort? Franklin Foer’s well-researched profile of the lobbyist, who has strong ties to pro-Putin Ukrainian oligarchs, leads with the following: “Paul Manafort made a career out of stealthily reinventing the world’s nastiest tyrants as noble defenders of freedom. Getting Donald Trump elected will be a cinch.” Food for thought.
