ActorĀ John LeguizamoĀ obliterated a small horse piƱata while reciting a thorough catalogue of Spanish-language profanities on āThe Daily Showā Tuesday in response to a New York Times/Siena poll that reported formerĀ President TrumpĀ leadsĀ President BidenĀ among Latino voters.
Of the pollās Hispanic respondents, 46 percent they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, and 40 percent said they would vote for Biden.
āYou may be thinking, how is this possible? āBuild the wallā Donald Trump? āMass deportationsā Donald Trump? āGuy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball playerā Donald Trump?ā asked Leguizamo, afterĀ pummeling the piƱata.
āBut the truth is, in 2024, Latino voters have something else on their minds,ā he added, cutting to a news report about Latino voters prioritizing inflation.
That priority was reflected in the Times/Siena poll: 93 percent of Hispanic respondents rated current food and consumer goods prices negatively.

For Leguizamo, any newfound Latino support for Trump is unacceptable, inflation or not.
āWell, hereās what you can count on, though. No matter what Trump says about inflation, he doesnāt like us and he doesnāt want us here,ā he said.
Firstly, if youāve not watched Latin History for Morons you should.
Second, this just proves that conservative Latino voters arenāt any more informed than non-Latino voters. Instead of blaming Trump for causing (or at least exacerbating) inflation during COVID, theyād rather blame Biden for not fixing it fast enough (irrespective of how much the president actually can affect the economy, and of how much better the US is doing compared to the rest of the world).
