#Trump, it would seem, is not one for a “#TACO.” The taco in question is not a dish made with tortillas, but rather a reference to how markets are responding to his #tariffs.TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out, is a tongue-in-cheek term coined by the FT columnist Robert Armstrong. It has been adopted to describe the lucrative pattern in which #markets tumble after Trump makes tariff threats, only to rebound sharply when he relents & allows countries more time…https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/politics/trump-taco-trade-question.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=p&pvid=68D8BF0F-CF0C-458F-892A-8F2BCA5225CE

#Trump has spent years…[wanting to be seen as a a tough guy]. So when he was asked by a reporter in the Oval Office on Wednesday whether the term might be a valid description of his approach to #tariffs, Trump, [of course, attached the reporter] reacted with ire.“I chicken out? I’ve never heard that,” he said. “Don’t ever say what you said,” he told the reporter. “That’s a nasty question. To me, that’s the nastiest question.”#economy #law #fraud #MarketManipulation #TACO #FreePress

@Nonilex how are his brains not leaking out his ears at this stage? Pure mush.

@Nonilex You've probably seen it already but some wag has come up with a name for Ms Leavitt: TACO Belle.

@Nonilex I'm glad at least a few people with the platform are standing up to him and DOING THEIR JOBS, which is entirely too much to ask of just about anyone in congress. Lowercase intentional, they'll get it back if or when they're worth a damn.I just finished sending a couple more letters of dissatisfaction with my representative. Keep hammering them, folks! And encourage the two (?) reps/senators who might be doing something at any given time!

@Nonilex I'm in two minds about TACOOn one hand it's funny & humiliated him & he hates itOn the other it could goad him into doing something even more stupid like launching a nuke just so he can say he didn't chicken out

I’d like a margarita with this #TACO.#Trump says he’s going to double the #tariff rate on #steel from 25% to 50%, a dramatic increase that could further increase #prices for the metal used to make #housing, #autos & other goods.Trump was speaking at US Steel’s Mon Valley Works–Irvin Plant in West Mifflin, PA, to announce investments by Japan’s Nippon Steel.The price of steel products has increased roughly 16% in Trump’s 2nd term, acc/to the govt’s price index.https://apnews.com/live/donald-trump-news-updates-5-30-2025
