  1. I tend to agree because of his narcissism!

    Snippet:

    >The [TACO codename used by Wall Street traders](https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-tariffs-taco-trade-investors-b2761364.html) to describe President [Donald Trump](https://www.the-independent.com/topic/donald-trump) is more likely to make him stick with his international [tariffs](https://www.the-independent.com/topic/tariffs) “just to prove a point.”

    >The nickname— short for “Trump Always Chickens OUT” — came about because of the [president’s habit of making tariff threats](https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-tariffs-tech-net-worth-b2730378.html), resulting in a drop in the markets, only for him to walk the threat back and see the markets rebound.

    >“We think that, unfortunately, as the so-called TACO trade becomes more viral, it becomes more likely that [Trump will stick to higher tariffs](https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/politics/trump-tariffs-court-ruling-uk-us-trade-deal-b2760194.html) just to prove a point,” Joachim Klement of investment bank Panmure Liberum told [*Reuters*](https://www.reuters.com/video/watch/idRW863402062025RP1/).

  3. He already is. TACO was actually a bad idea for this vain president, as funny as it has been.

  6. He’ll enforce a new tariff and then he’ll chicken out..

  7. Trump is perpetually upset about something, so no difference.

  8. No one can think this breathing bag of shit is fit to lead anything

  9. I think that’s the point. These Wallstreet people that came up with it have been cashing in on tRump being a chicken shit. Now that the public is becoming more aware of it and betting on it happening, those same people will make money on him doing the opposite.

  10. Uh, no. Trump is going to be the maximum possible pile of shit no matter what. Being nicer to him in hopes he might be slightly less shitty is not the play.

  11. Proving yet again, that he’s unfit to lead. He fundamentally lacks emotional and intellectual maturity. It should not be that easy to get under his skin and manipulate his decision making process, with name calling.

  12. He’s got the attention span of a gnat, he’ll suspend tariff implementation as soon as someone comes up with a meme about how tough he is with implementing tariffs.

  13. Do we actually have any evidence he’s raging hard about this Taco thing? Outside of that one outburst at the reporter, I didn’t note anything else. I don’t think he brought it up again.

  14. This is a North Korea level pettiness without the military. I’m willing to bet our dearly beloved freedom of speech will be legally affected.

  16. The more it pisses him off the more I like it. Bring on the bumper stickers. He is going to do what he is going to do and none of it will make sense. So why not have label that gets under his skin.

  18. No he won’t. He’s a whiny piss baby. Whiny piss babies always chicken out.

  19. No, he’ll just sit there, pout, and write some unhinged Truth Social post about immigrants or LGBT or some shit. TACO.

  20. He literally already TACOed on more tariffs on China until August 31st today. So no, I don’t think he will.

  21. In a weird way, I think it’s better for America if Trump does push forward because that’s probably the only thing that’s going to wake the Republican party up to finally take power out of his hands.

  22. I hope that’s his secret service code name. Or at least something off the Taco Bell menu.

    “Chalupa” is on the move to the rose garden…

  23. So they’re saying trump is overly emotional and easily manipulated?

  24. But will it make him “so mad” that he gives himself a heart attack?

    No?

    (That would be *tragic*). 😉

  25. Anyone with a taco food truck.. I’m begging you, in front of Trump tower.

    Maybe a little fusion? Orange chicken tacos?

    …begging!

  27. Hold on, time for another pump and dump. Hold on to your 401(k).

  29. No he won’t.

    TACO happens because Trumps financial backers are the same ones running the companies hit by the tariffs and they’ve told him hes not actually allowed to fuck with their money money, likely on threat of telling the other politicians they own that Trump is no longer needed in his current position.

  30. Unless you start a rumor that the TACO thing was planned to manipulate him to do just that because of his low intelligence.

  32. So manipulatable and weak. He will probably threaten to but then chicken out.
