"Trump always chickens out." It is based on his levying tariffs and them almost immediately back tracking and giving the other country an extension. The acronym fits so it makes him mad.

its a buzz word that the Dem party has focused grouped on and now are broadcasting it as if its a popular position or phrase. spoiler, its not. No one is saying it. Just another weak and feeble attempt by the communist party

It only fits for people who don't know the inside details of the negotiations and who are too stupid to realize they don't.

I can get his irritation at having to hear ignorant people all the time.

i guess that news today that he cut the trade deficit in half in 30 days is going to dampen this term.


life comes at you fast

It’s just like the mug shot and the garbage truck. The right is going to end up beating the left at its own meme.

Looks like a Financial times commentator started it:
quote:

Wall Street investors have cooked up a new term for betting against President Donald Trump - and some have used it to score big gains at a time when the markets are behaving erratically due to the president’s on-again, off-again tariffs.

It’s called “TACO,” which is code for “Trump Always Chickens Out,” and it refers to the president’s tendency to announce massive tariffs, causing the markets to plunge, only to back off days later, causing them to rise again.

Most credit Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong for coining the term.

Obviously people who say this have never negotiated a good price on a car. I've always had to get up to walk out several times. A couple times I completely left the dealership, only to have them call me later and be willing to get closer to meeting me in the middle. Did I get it for the price I demanded? No. But I did get it for a price below their initial demands.

Irony is lost on liberals who slur Hispanics just to try to make Trump look bad. They Always Crap Out.

I thought it had something to do with the Cinco de Mayo pic where Trump was eating a Taco Bowl. Oh well.

Yep. These people probably list their houses at the price they hope to sell it for.

I sake my head in amazement that in this country which has all the resources in the world and unlimited opportunities to benefit from them that someone so stupid and unaware could even exist, let alone be out front seeking attention.

You would fit into a 1940's freak show quite well however as an example of a retarded ape.
