Trump responded angrily toward a reporter in the White House after she told him that Wall Street investors are using a new acronym, TACO, to describe the ongoing tariff turmoil caused by Trump. The acronym stands for “Trump Always Chickens Out” and was reportedly coined by a Financial Times columnist.

    Congratulations Donald, you just 'Streisand Effect’ed yourself.

    If you’d have just rolled your eyes and said something like “yeah, they’re a bunch of jokers, eh?” everyone would have forgotten about that term within a few days.

    But now the world knows that nickname gets deep under your skin. It’s going to haunt you like bad gas after a large McDonald’s meal.

        Everything he does has always been claimed to be a distraction. The people that hate him know full well he’s destroying the country, and the people that love him don’t care.

        No it isn’t. This ‘distraction’ shit gives him too much credit, like he’s thinking a step ahead or strategising somehow.

        He’s not. He’s just an idiot who can’t keep his mouth shut even when it hurts him.

    Tacos will be banned from all restaurants in America. Taco Bell is now a terrorist gang, and Del Taco is a fugitive on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.

      Crazy how Lèse-majesté works. You’re telling me the king can point at me and laugh and fling rotten fruit, but if I do it to him then his guards cut my head off?

      I guess this proves the king has the full power of the armed forces at his command and uses it to inspire terror and reflexive compliance in his subjects is just thin-skinned.

    He’s such a sensitive little bitch. Imagine how cool he’d look if had just laughed out off.

    “Yeah, they got me there. But you’ll see!”

    That’s literally all he has to say and the right would think he’s cool, and the left would be worried what he might do next. What a moron.

      Trump can’t do this. He is an idiotic manchild with no sense of humor whatsoever.

      I honestly do not believe he mentally registers as human.

      I remember Inauguration Day 2016. People were commneting that his crowd was smaller than Obama’s.

      Instead of joking about how his voters were too busy working to come, he accused the Parks Service of trying to sabotage him.

      Except his brain literally can’t stand negative feedback. The Orange Jackass is going to end up filling a whole textbook in psychology classes after he dies. Assuming the Republican ghouls haven’t banned books yet.

      Tbf that sounds like how Bush Jr. would respond to something like that. I hate Bush - like I think he gets off too easy because we only talk about foreign policy of post-911 and forget about what a total shitshow every other policy that administration introduced. But I’d take that jackass over the wholly incoherent conspiracy laden troglodytic ramblings of Taco Don and his pathetic followers.

    A food truck has a golden opportunity to rebrand as Tariff Tacos. The Donald could be an overdone empty shell served with an orange drink.

      That would make him so mad.

      Honestly even just one person wearing one would annoy him more than all the baby genocide in the world

      Ok I don’t like doing this (using ai fakery) but

        Frankly, I’d go the other way and eschew the shite design of the MAGAt redcap and add an ironic icon, like: a cartoony booger king crown behind it, all “urban” & “street” for plausible deniability; or a chain taqueria-style font saying “Do’h Hermanos” arched over TACO w/ a duo of mascot chicken heads stretched mid-gorble (ie “choking”) across each other. I dunno. Something. 🤘🏼
