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.

It was such a childish and false acronym, and now it has been proven so. Russia and China had four years of American weakness which they capitalized on, but they can clearly see that America is back, stronger than ever.

One of our greatest allies needed our help, and Trump eliminated the threat of the most dangerous weapon from the world's most dangerous regime. Let's hope it opens the door to peace in the Middle East and civilization.

What about the ones who are perfectly qualified, but are being kicked off anyway?

Provide a list.

 

[Nostra]

The bill hasn't gone into effect yet dumb ass.

So the millions who will die because of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse is a myth.

 

[Nostra]

I have the CBO report that says what will happen.

Link us up to the last CBO report that got a prediction right.

We’ll wait………….

 

[Nostra]

no it's not

Then provide an exact number who will get kicked off.

Trump trade deadlines in July ‘not critical’: White House

President Donald Trump could extend looming deadlines for reimposing steep tariffs on imports from most of the world’s countries, the White House said Thursday.

Trump’s July 8 and 9 deadlines for restarting tariffs on those nations are “not critical,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.

“Perhaps it could be extended, but that’s a decision for the president to make,” Leavitt said.

Leavitt also said Thursday that if any of those countries refuse to make a trade deal with the United States by the deadlines, “The president can simply provide these countries with a deal.”

“And that means the president can pick a reciprocal tariff rate that he believes is advantageous for the United States, and for the American worker,” she said.

Syrup with that waffle? The buffoonery is as palpable as the deadlines on the #1 economic strategy for the country are fluid. How can this clown can be taken seriously is a mystery.

10% on most imports, and 30% on China is nothing to sneeze at while final deals are negotiated to benefit Americans...

Trump has 'outsmarted all of us' admits backpedaling economist

An economist reversed course after calling Trump's initial tariff policies 'painful.' Other experts aren't sold.

Where's all this tariff caused inflation you were screaming about previously?

 

[Gary Seven]

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

LMAO!
While I'm not sure how much I actually agree with what was done, Trump laid himself on the line by doing what he did in Iran. He risked his reputation big time and I'm sure he knows it. And it's not the first time he was not afraid to act on his beliefs.

His reputation is already in the hopper. At least among folks grounded in reality. Convicted criminal, serial sexual predator, guilty of tax fraud, stole from a charity, tried to steal an election, stole classified docs, encourages violence against opponents, corrupted the DoJ, named incompetent people to cabinet, vulgar, ignorant, does not read, inveterate liar, ...................................

You were foolish to think that slogan would catch on.

Please. Back when inflation was 9%, you were saying it was a good thing because it was helping to prevent Climate Change!

It’s not bad enough that Biden and the Dems are intentionally increasing inflation by pumping more money into the economy via this last spending bill

Two things. 1. It hasn't passed yet. 2. What is a bigger long term priority, a temporary bout with inflation or doing something about the existential threat of climate change?

Back when inflation was high all over the world due to the global, post COVID recovery you ignorantly said the Biden admin was causing it intentionally. As you know, that's horseshit.

The spending targeting climate change thru the IRA was money well spent. As the years go by and the affects of climate change accelerate you'll wish more had been spent.
