His approval rating amongst Hispanics has not been higher during his term than now  and were not talking about 0 to 1 or anything like that.  Anyways, carry on.
We're staying a block from Trump tower here. Yesterday was Mexican Independence Day. As we were walking back from dinner (right past the tower), there were cars flying the Mexican flag back and forth in front of Trump tower blowing their horns. One car even saw us walking and yelled "F@&k Trump". Not sure it was directed at us. Not sure it wasn't.

We made haste to the hotel... Because even though we're not Trump supporters, we look the part!

@847badgerfan BTW we highly enjoyed the Weber Grill restaurant. I know you're a fan, right?

Yup.  I was in France for the 4th of July one year, got together with a bunch of Americans and celebrated it.  Of course ten days later was Bastille Day, definitely a much bigger party.

Down here in Texico, El Diez y Seis is widely celebrated. Moreso than El Cinco de Mayo which is actually nothing more than a celebration of a battle victory over the French, of all people.  Not sure why elsewhere, Cinco de Mayo became such a big deal.  I call it Mexican St. Patrick's Day.
They're both excuses to get drunk, er, party.

It is celebrated by Americans abroad.
I'm sure it is. I'm sure they all get in their cars and hoot and holler and yell "F ________ (insert country leader)" and protest too.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

When I was in France over that 4th of July, Jaques Chirac was the president.  There was no need for me to yell "F Chirac" because most of the French folks I knew were already doing it. :)

I have been to Hawaii 7-8 times, the wife loves it there.  ND is my last state.

I had not been to Canada before.

The celebration continued last night as well. We were walking from north Michigan Avenue back to the hotel, and again didn't see any cars honking and flying the flag except within a block of Trump tower.

Typically, when #7 plays at #3, what would you guess the spread would be?
