Texas goes wild for Trump: The Donald says he’ll put ‘Make America Great Again’ on cowboy hats but confuses a mechanical bull with a horse as open-carry activists parade their rifles in front of protesters
Donald Trump hit a Dallas honky-town music hall Thursday and engaged in one Texas-kitsch moment after another
Entered the stage to lazy ‘Deep in the Heart of Texas’ tune instead of sternum-rattling ‘Jock Jams’ music
Asked if he could ride the mechanical bull at the famed Gilley’s bar, but called it a ‘horse’
Promised crowd he would make ‘Make America Great Again’ cowboy hats and credited protester for giving him the flash of insight
Insisted he would win the Hispanic vote – calling them ‘La-THEEEE-noss’
Protesters massed outside, but so did pro-Trump ‘open carry’ activists legally toting rifles as they watched

Donald Trump landed deep in the heart of Texas on Thursday and asked for a ride on a mechanical bull – or some other hooved animal – as he curried favor with Lone Star Republicans by pledging to embroider ‘Make America Great Again’ on cowboy hats.
Speaking to about 4,000 people inside Gilley’s, a honky-tonk music hall in Dallas, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee joked that he couldn’t see the joint’s signature prop – the mechanical bull made famous by the 1980 John Travolta-Debra Winger movie ‘Urban Cowboy.’
Only in Trump’s world, the test of drunken manhood that tosses bar patrons in the air was a horse, not a bull.
‘I’ve read about this place for a long time! Where’s that horse? I want to go on the horse!’ he boomed. ‘Hey, you wanna hit the papers tomorrow? Let’s get that horse. I’ll ride that horse.’
