Actor John Leguizamo obliterated a small horse piñata while reciting a thorough catalogue of Spanish-language profanities on “The Daily Show” Tuesday in response to a New York Times/Siena poll that reported former President Trump leads President Biden among Latino voters.

Of the poll’s Hispanic respondents, 46 percent they would vote for Trump if the election were held today, and 40 percent said they would vote for Biden.

“You may be thinking, how is this possible? ‘Build the wall’ Donald Trump? ‘Mass deportations’ Donald Trump? ‘Guy who thinks Daddy Yankee is a baseball player’ Donald Trump?” asked Leguizamo, after pummeling the piñata.

“But the truth is, in 2024, Latino voters have something else on their minds,” 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.

“Well, here’s what you can count on, though. No matter what Trump says about inflation, he doesn’t like us and he doesn’t want us here,” he said.

      Well, everyone cannot have it. Just like we all can’t make a living wage, be rich, or pull the shiny Charizard from a pack. It’s not fair. But life’s not fair. We need to start following the laws. Neither biden or Trump is doing it right IMO

        We could all have a living wage and a shiny Charizard, there isn’t an intrinsic reason for that. The supply is intentionally limited.
