NEW YORK, NY—Inspiration can strike when you least expect it.
Last week during Cinco de Mayo, presidential hopeful Donald Trump nearly broke the internet with an unusual and uncharacteristic tweet. "Happy Cinco de Mayo!" it read.

It's unclear whether the photo was dripping with sarcasm or a desperate attempt to pander to voters, but the lunch in question has resulted in Trump's latest epiphany.
For months now, Trump has been appealing to the racists of America (we're looking at you, Paula Deen!) by talking about building a wall along the US-Mexico border, but now he seems to think a wall might only be a half-measure.
"I started thinking about the wall," Trump explains. "A wall is pretty good, but you can't build a house with just one wall. Sure, one wall — tall, mighty, and American, will keep out some of the illegals, but they could also just sail around it. Come in from the east or the west. You know?"
That's where the reality TV star's lunch came into play.
"Then I looked down at my taco bowl," he continues. "That's when it hit me — this thing is virtually impenetrable. It's got coverage on all sides. We're not gonna build just one wall. We're gonna build a taco bowl around this great nation! A taco bowl of steel!"
The actual and possible future leader of America continues with his explanation as his passion builds.
"What's in a taco bowl?" he asks. "Everything you need! Protein. Vegetables. A bit of dairy. It's all the food groups. What's outside the bowl? Contaminants! Dust. Germs. Microbes! What's keeping them out of your perfectly balanced lunch? The bowl, America. The bowl! We're gonna seal ourselves off on all sides and be a better nation for it. Sorry, Canada. It's just something we have to do for us."
Americans can quietly breathe a sigh of relief that there was nothing on the Trump Tower menu called a "taco dome" because in that case it might be a long time before they see the sun again.
