Trump's favorite network melts down over 'TACO' insult

Democrats are mocking President Donald Trump for his repeated habit of walking back from his tariff threats, and Fox News is very upset about it.

In recent weeks, Wall Street traders have adopted the acronym “TACO,” which stands for Trump Always Chickens Out, as a shorthand for the pattern of Trump pulling back on destructive tariffs after making tough-sounding announcements. Trump has done this with heightened tariffs he threatened or briefly put in place against the European Union, Canada, and China.

When he was asked about this past Wednesday, Trump yelled at a reporter for bringing it up, exposing his sensitivity to the insult.

In a video posted to social media on Friday, California Rep. Eric Swalwell ate a taco while an aide asked him about Trump’s cowardly actions.

Nuff said 🌮

You take bullies down by mocking and laughing at them.

Let's keep it up.
