You probably know the photo: Donald Trump leans over the desk of his Manhattan office, forking a 'taco bowl', which sits on a pile of unread newspapers and a magazine, open on a page displaying his bikini-clad former wife, Marla Maples; he is modelling a red-and-white striped tie from his Donald Trump Signature Collection, the filaments of his peerless quiff sweep across his forehead, and his face is frozen between grin and grimace; a hefty golf trophy glistens on the window sill behind him.
Nothing about the scene authentically communicates an affinity for Latinos. But it is this photo that he tweeted, shortly after becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, to reach out to a constituency of voters that he had worked pretty hard to demonise during the primaries. 'I love Hispanics', he wrote in accompaniment.
