US President Barack Obama today said he does not pay attention to the tweets of Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, which of late has been creating a lot of controversies in the social media.

"I have no thoughts on Mr Trump's tweets," Obama said.

"As a general rule, I don't pay attention to Mr Trump's tweets. I think that will be true for, I think, for the next six months. So, if you could just file that one," Obama told reporters when asked about Trump's latest taco bowl tweet.

A day before, Trump tweeted picture of him showing eating taco bowl.
 

"I love Hispanics!" Trump said. "I had 59,000 retweets in a short period of what, that's like, almost got to be some kind of a record," Trump told Fox News.

"People loved it. And you know what? I'm going to do great with the Hispanics. I mean, I'm going to do fantastic, because I'm bringing jobs back to America," he said.

Trump has nearly eight million followers on Twitter.
