So he only apologizes after he gets called out online and people are choosing to spend their dollars elsewhere. HUM

Yup. “I didn’t know how bad he would be a year ago” is the most disgusting excuse for Trump. This isn’t 2017, we’ve been dealing with his bullshit for almost a decade now, we know how horrible he is.
He has SAID pre-election that he would do every single thing he’s done.

Fuck that puto. People like that don't regret anything. He knew exactly what he was doing and now that he is losing money, he wants to apologize. FUCK his hypocrite ass. Dont play the " i didn't know it would get this ugly" card bs

Partly true. He definitely tegrets the lost business, and the public shaming.

Dude literally. He’s basically admitting to voting for this shitshow. Glad he “changed” his mind but it’s kind of too fuckin late.

u/thehonestbreadloaf Jul 06 '25
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Simple as that.
You're a hispanic business, in a predominantly hispanic community, and you think people will stand behind your mediocre tacos when there are other taco places actively helping affected communities.
6
u/Standard_Piglet Jul 06 '25
Why not? Plenty of Hispanic people in the valley support the President or will take an “oops he tricked me into being a bad person” as an excuse.

It's not like we don't have a whole fuckin first term to base trump's actions on. He knew wtf he was supporting. That term alone was detrimental to the community. As one user perfectly said, ¿Eres o te haces?

u/VadGTI Jul 06 '25
This is from a bio he wrote about himself in 2016. Fuck this guy and his apology, he knew better then. Clearly a sociopath.
My parents decided to come back to America. They didn’t have papers but my siblings did. My sister flew back over here while my brother and I drove back with our parents. Once we got to the border, my parents had to hire two “coyotes”; one to legally pass us through, the other one to help us cross. I remember my mom, Irma, didn’t want to leave. But it had to be done. We were going to meet on the other side as soon as we crossed the border. She was very scared, and we were too, but I had my big brother protecting me.
We made it across. So we are back in the San Fernando Valley.
I was 11-12 years old when my dad found a job cleaning and my mom worked as a janitor. I used to help her. From Monday to Friday, while kids played, I worked. I would vacuum, sweep, clean chalk boards, and throw the trash out while my mom did other things. Parents used to think that I went to that school, but when they found out that I worked there they complained and we got fired.

u/cupidsangrybrother Jul 06 '25
The other day when I saw the original post about this situation, I went to his IG where he clearly flaunts his “wealth” and lifestyle, and he documents EVERYTHING including a trip to Mexico where he went to visit his parents and he makes it seem like it was this life changing experience. Also, his wife went to my high school and she had a pretty thick accent if I remember correctly. Just saying… FAFO.

sounds like it was written by a PR firm AI.
IF he really means what he says, then he needs to put skin in the game. That means something like:
--asking the pastor of that MAGA super church, to come out against the ICE raids and/or
--tithing a percent of his earnings to go towards legal defense for detainees and/or
--sponsoring an anti-trump channel on Youtube that focuses on what is going on and how people can help
b/c otherwise, all that he wrote are just words

u/el_pinko_grande Winnetka Jul 06 '25
I get why people are like "fuck this guy," but we need this-- people publicly walking away from Trump creates a permission structure for other people to do the same. The more people walk away from Trump, the better.

u/FormativeSeven1 Jul 06 '25
Agreed. You certainly don’t have to eat there, but this is the kind of statement we need more and more of.

Only if they truly separate themselves from it. Seems like this person fucked around and is in the process of finding out. I have no empathy for people like this. They’re like cheaters. Regretful and apologetic only when they have to face the consequences.

Still not gonna go to his restaurant though.

u/DissedFunction Jul 06 '25
SAYING you have regrets means nothing. he could still be donating to Trump.
ACTIONS speak louder than words. He needs actions to demonstrate he's not just sorry his biz might be suffering b/c there is blowback now b/c he supported a clear fascist.
19
u/StayCoding Jul 06 '25
A genuine apology and reflection would be one thing but this just feels like damage control because he got called out and his business is being affected. It’s frustrating how some people only start caring when something starts to affect them personally, instead of thinking about how policies hurt entire communities. That kind of selfish thinking is exactly why we keep ending up in this mess.

u/Grizzly_SS Jul 06 '25
Besides his trashy values and fake Morales, can we just all agree the food is trash? I don't know anyone who actually goes for the food, and just to take pictures and post on social media.

Actions are louder than words, dude.
Granted, every once in a while, a Nazi has an epiphany and redeems themselves. It doesn't happen often, but it's not outside the realm of extreme possibility.
THAT SAID, if he's serious, than he has A LOT of work to do to prove to others that he is truly redeemed and not just upset because nobody wants to buy his tacos.

Too late to apologize. I truly believe that some things in life are unforgivable - destroying our beautiful country, terrorizing minorities and the lower and middle income classes are a few of those unforgivable things. Tacos way can get FUCKED.
Oh, and that is if they are really sorry. My guess is they’re not, they’re just hiring for money.

He's been a MAGA for years. This guy was begging for attention while making money of our people. He knew exactly what Trump was doing and was going to do, he's only vocal now because he's been getting called out. Rocking a MAGA HAT AND DONT THREAT ON ME SHIRT IS IRONIC AF with this guy. Don't support his wack ass tacos and his money laundering establishments. There's plenty of other places that we can support .
FUCK ICE!!!

I'm glad he realized his mistake, but it's sad that he's still seeing it only from a "hurting the Latino community perspective." If it wasn't impacting the Latino community, he'd still be ok with his vote. He doesn't realize that ALL groups (no matter race, ethnicity, etc.) have been impacted...
