Trump was just asked about ‘TACO, short for 'Trump Always Chickens Out.' He called it the ‘nastiest question’

That’s because there’s a new type of trade taking hold: TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out. In other words, don’t fret too much about Trump’s latest tariff threat and go on a selling spree, because eventually he’ll back down and a relief rally will ensue.

Trump said he first learned of the term, coined by Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong, on Wednesday when a reporter sought his reaction to it.

“I chicken out? Oh, I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from 145% that I set down to 100 and then to another number?” Trump said Wednesday, referring to tariff rates he imposed on imported Chinese goods.

“You call that chickening out?” Trump responded to a reporter at an Oval Office event Wednesday, referring to his recent announcements on EU and Chinese tariff rates.

“It’s called negotiation,” Trump added, saying that part of his tactic can include setting “a ridiculous high number” for tariff rates and going down if he gets other nations to give in to his demands.

“Don’t ever say what you said,” Trump told the reporter, calling it “the nastiest question.”

Lawrence O'Donnell's lead Tuesday evening. It might be counterproductive to mock Trump this way. . .

To defy the ridicule, he may not relent no matter what. He would drive this economy over a cliff if he felt his manhood was under attack.

Hmmm... I am by no means a master negotiator, but it seems like if you tell your opponent your tactic beforehand, it will disable your entire plan.

But I'm not a stable genus, so I will defer to his excellency.

TACO: "Chickening out" is one of the most humiliating ways to insult Trump. He gets all sulky and defiant with hurt feelings.

I'm just wondering that Trump may try and defy the "chicken" label and do something so rash such as going forward with irrational tariffs that the stock market craters or not helping Ukraine to the point of nihilation.

What a fucking asshole criminal who belongs in prison.

It's so predictable (to the point of being comical) that whenever a female reporter asks a question Trump doesn't like, he calls her and/or the question nasty.

His explanation to the reporter (about how he sets and then lowers tariffs) was funny because it confirmed exactly what TACO meant.

Over the years, have we not come to understand and translate Trump-speak?

When he was a child he must have been punched in the face and taught that you never use the epithet CUNT.

When Trump uses the word NASTY, what he really means is CUNT.

Usually it is NASTY women. It all boils down to Trump calling someone a CUNT without him using the word.

We knew this when he introduced himself to us and used the word PUSSY.

Waiting for Trump to call Lawrence a very nasty person.

This was his Cinco de Mayo greeting one year. It's come back to bite him today and haunt him for some time to come.

Can you imagine the alternating exlosive anger and whiney neediness the staffers had to deal with after the presser? Oh, man, I'd hate to be Peter Navarro right about now.

R34. I agree, but at the same time, I hope Trump gets humiliated mercilessly. Regarding tariffs--and despite the ridicule--Trump will still chicken out. He will drive us off the cliff or out of our minds in other ways, but he won't completely cause economic ruin because that will affect him deeply now and throughout history.
