I'm not sure what he was like as the president of Mexico, but he certainly has a lot of sage advice to offer our fake president.

I also like "the bees in your head" (aka crazy) phrase.. I wouldn't invite him just to dinner but I bet he'd be a great addition to a party too.

I think "tomato" in Spanish is "jitomate" (singular) or "tomate" (plural)
Estos tomates se ven deliciosos = Those tomatoes look delicious
Le pondre jitonate a la ensalada = I'll put some tomato in the salad

(Wouldn't it be great if a courageous Trump-protester would throw a tomato at him?)

Means either an athlete that has been hit too many times in the head, or a goal that should not have happened.
A show my husband used to watch had a "Tomalo of the week" spot; typically a soccer highlight reel of weird or funny plays.
