Now I'm picturing a racist candidate from another part of the world trying to appeal to the white minority via Anglo Saxon language and imagery billboards 😄🤦

It’ll probably work. Most Hispanic people I’ve met that vote love Trump.

why? Is it the usual trumpist reasoning? Or something else.

I have no idea. Fear of “socialism”? Religion? The myth that republicans are good for small business owners?

the fear of socialism is the only good one i can think of, but often times these people are coming from authoritarian type countries or places, i've heard theories that they leave the persecution, only to desire it once more upon leaving, hence the voting for trump. We've seen similar things with east germany, after they reunited there was an interesting problem with "self determination" people are generally happier with less choices, weirdly enough.

i doubt religion is significant, but maybe they just don't understand the US government structure. That's my other theory, they just don't understand how the government works at all, and end up picking the bad candidate.

Maybe the small business owner thing, but are these people more likely to own small businesses? i'm not sure, i think most of them would be in the labor economy, education or something else. Rather than entrepreneurship.
