Wall Street's new term- TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) is pissing off trump

I loved Lawrence last night

This meme also made me smile

trump was asked about this term and was pissed

Reporter: Wall Street analysts have a new term called the TACO trade.. Saying Trump always chickens out on tariffs…  

Trump: I kick out?

Reporter: Chicken out.

Trump only knows hyperbole and exaggeration and overselling even when he has never had any real product for sale! His grandiosity has him always two feet beyond the end of the diving board.

The "bullshit" isn't even evil enough. Somewhere beyond my pay grade- the criminal insanity and intentional pain imposed on those unable to fight back deserves a moniker that fits on a bumper sticker. America's reputation will never recover from this.

Every time a counterparty gives a little, Trump gets reinforcement he is a master negotiator.
