The White House's promised Spanish website? Nada de nada (AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nada de nada — nothing at all.

A year into the Trump administration, the White House website still has no Spanish-language content, unlike during the two previous administrations and even though nearly 1 in 5 people in the United States speaks Spanish.

Even Iran and reclusive North Korea have made efforts to reach out to the Spanish-speaking world. In the U.S., meanwhile, President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and his plan to build a wall on the border with Mexico are alienating some Hispanics.

A year ago, then-presidential press secretary Sean Spicer said the new administration had deleted Spanish content on the White House webpage but its information technology folks were "working overtime" to develop a new site. In July, the White House director of media affairs, Helen Aguirre Ferre, said she expected a Spanish website to launch at the end of 2017.

Now, Aguirre Ferre declines to say whether there are still plans to have a Spanish-language website.

You don't count, you don't matter.

How extravagant Republicans are, throwing votes away like that. Someday they may be scarce.

And he is just reciprocating all the love he's had from them. I guess the link to the Spanish portion of the site can lead to the pic of him eating his taco bowl.
