Eric Trump no habla Español, poses with woman wearing "Latina contra Trump" shirt
If Eric Trump ever took a Spanish class in high school, it looks like he might have snoozed through the lesson on prepositions.
At a campaign event last week in Salisbury, North Carolina, Donald Trump’s son posed with an attendee rocking a “Latina contra Trump” t-shirt. The problem is, “contra” means against — not for.
Apparently no one else with the campaign had their flashcards handy either. According to the woman wearing the shirt, 23-year-old Annie Cardelle, three staffers looked her over before allowing her to take a photo with Trump and his wife Lara.
“I thought we were going to get some dirty looks, and I was just going to leave if that happened. I really didn’t want to make a scene,” Annie said. “But no one noticed.”
Annie and her sister Ceci, who are of Cuban descent, posted about their stunt on Twitter, and the story promptly went viral.

Thanks to sisters for this basic lesson in Spanish.
Annie, a Hillary Clinton supporter, said they haven’t heard anything from the Trump campaign since the story gained so much attention. But she did hear from the Clinton campaign -- they invited her and Ceci to a rally in North Carolina on Thursday.
