Trump says 'bad hombre' during the debate, and memes are born

CLOSE Trump's Spanish left much to be desired. USA TODAY

The third and final presidential debate featured an early discussion on immigration. Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has favored deporting those who have arrived in the U.S. illegally, said, "We have some bad hombres here, and we're going to get them out."

Twitter users quickly responded to Trump's dip into bilingualism (hombre is Spanish for man).

Well, now we know Trump's Spanish vocabulary is all of 2 words: "hombre" and "taco". I'd gladly teach him a few more choice words... https://t.co/rgBq0Yyi3J — Ana Navarro (@ananavarro) October 20, 2016

We're seeing a spike for both 'ombre' and 'hombre'. Not the same thing. https://t.co/O2o9C3gTja#debatenight — Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) October 20, 2016
