TACO!

[IM2]

I'm not talking about food either. I'm talking about the new Wall Street phrase. TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out. Thisis what Wall Street now uses to define Trump's threats of tariffs because he always backs off, just like he did this week with the EU.

What is the ‘TACO trade’ on Wall Street?​

There’s a new trade on Wall Street: the TACO trade, standing for “Trump Always Chickens Out.”

The term was coined by Robert Armstrong, a writer for the Financial Times, and is intended to capture how markets have fallen on Trump’s vow to impose steep tariffs on imports to the United States and then jump back up when Trump announces pauses on those tariffs.

HMMM interesting. So the phrase was coined by a columnust! surprise surprise! well rejoice it is Taco Tuesday.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Did someone say Tacos?

Oh, it's just you.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Of course he chickens out. He's a coward.

Ah, you criticize him when he does it, then criticize him when he lets off the gas.

You either want the tariffs or you don't.

There's no need to be this scatterbrained and hypocritical.

The problem with what you're denying is that Trump has chickened out.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The problem with what you're denying is that Trump has chickened out.

Has he?

He easily has the leverage, since he can just as easily slap those tariffs right back on. And just the simple threat of a 50% tariff caused the EU to come begging for more time. It shows that if you're going to be obstinate, you will pay a price.

Actually the tariffs are stupid. But I'm pointing out what the people who deal with the markets say. Scatterrined are those who support Trump and excuse everything he does, even when they know it's unconstitutional.

I dont see it that way at all. I'm actually not very big on having 50% tarriffs are you? you dissapointed? But I am FOR Trump stirring up the pot where for many years U.S. politicians have remained silent and uncaring about trade imbalances.Tarriffs and the threat of Tarriffs can be used as a tool for other goals. Such as bringing industry back to the U.S.

He has and that's for the best. The EU is not begging for anything. The EU will hit us wth retaliatory tariffs or cut off trade with us. That would hurt us very bad.

Oh brother.

The first thing people learn in proper negotiating tactics is how NOT to be totally unreasonable. By granting more time, he's allowing countries to agree to his terms or offer a counterproposal.

Ah, I love when people make predictions on things they don't understand.

You silly little poot. Of course he is criticized when he dos stupid things, like all the goofy tariff crap. Pointing out his cowardice doesn't mean anyone wanted him to carry through with such stupid behavior.

Don't bother, you're not fooling anyone.

If you're gonna criticize him for the tariffs, you should praise him for backing off.

There's no pleasing you.

 

[Eman623]

Personally I prefer fajitas.

Fuckdems Are Just Insane, Trump Always Succeeds.

It's patently obvious to anyone with the mental capacity of a 3rd grader, which obviously excludes you and the OP, that his absurd tariff threats are the opening salvo in trade negotiations.

When he get their attention, he then temporarily relents as the negotiations commence.

It has only happened over a dozen times and dullards like you still don't catch on.

Explain then how Trump has better trade terms on every single one of these countries than the US had in January.

Leftwingers have never understood negotiating. Trump does understand it. He's the best in the world at it.

0bama gave a way the store and got rolled by dictator after dictator. Why? Because he had zero experience or expertise in anything valuable. All leftwing leaders are that way. Not one of them in an influential position has ever done anything in the private sector, has ever produced anything, has ever built anything. The have no skills whatsoever in terms of running an entity.

The little midget will cut off the giant. Right.

 

[Mashmont]

Of course he chickens out. He's a coward.

Trump has better trade terms on every single country he once declared tariffs on than before he delcared them. That really bothers you, doesn't it?

Like frogs in a slowly boiling pot of water they are perfectly happy with the way things were. China slowly taking over world commerce while U.S. manufacturing is being marginalized.
