He had not yet heard the term, according to a senior White House official who acknowledged to CNN that the president was caught off guard. Trump had said as much at the time, saying “I’ve never heard that” before calling it the “nastiest question.”
“He thought the reporter was calling him a chicken,” the official said, adding that Trump was “reasonably” frustrated with the phrase.
The acronym was coined in early May by a Financial Times columnist and is now used as shorthand by some on Wall Street to indicate that traders shouldn’t fret too much about Trump’s tariff threats, since he usually backs down.

If trump always chickens out, might it also be appropriate to call him Orange Chicken? 🤭
Edit: someone already mentioned orange chicken
Please stop making fun of trump, he gonna ban tacos!!!
Imagine voting for this sad bastard. Your self-respect would have to be in the basement.
The taco truck in this case is one of Elmo’s ugly ass electric dumpsters.
Because he always acts this way when someone asks him a question he doesn’t like. Refuses to answer, then gaslights and calls them “nasty”. Typical narcissist shit.
I wish they’d keep pressing him on it until he completely loses his rag. Let’s see the Real Donald Trump.
Trump taco sounds lewd
Donald Trump has very thin skin.
Everyone around him knows it.
World leaders know it as well.
🎶🎵 O-o-o-orange! Ch-ch-ch-chicken!
Trump’s an orange chicken and he’s stupid as hell!
Ooh, mamacita, now he sees the economy fell!
Stock prices falling, and others are giving us flack!
Ooh, orange chicken’s having a TACO attaaaaaaaaack! 🎵 🎶
When you surround yourself with yes-men and don’t attend meetings, you’re going to miss a lot.
Because he is a thin skinned pos.
No.
The US President being able to be raged baited into destroying what is left of the economy is something else.
this always comes to mind when hearing/reading about the trump taco
As someone who was practically raised on tacos, the way he eats tacos is… Annoying. It’s basically the way northern Americans eat what they call Tex-mex, which typically results in a huge mess. Tipping the taco in one direction or the other results in it spilling, so you’re supposed to tip your head instead. It means your elbow is usually sticking out more, with your arm basically parallel to the floor. Whereas his is basically resting on the table.
At least he leaned over the plate. That’s the other big rookie move people make, and then they end up with food all over their lap.
TBF, that’s not even a taco. He just put some of his food on a tortilla. It’s a common thing to do in Mexican culture.
Are people misinterpreting your comment as a legit criticism of Obama? Or are they reading a tone where there isn’t any? (Maybe the word “annoying” colored the rest of their perception? It’s not how I read it, I’m trying to make sense of the downvotes.)
I thought you were providing your own regional informational tidbit (and a useful one for me, since I usually avoid hard-shelled tacos due to the mess I make.) This advice sounds helpful and I’ll be trying it next time I order Tex-mex.
Those are also soft shells, allowing that grip to seal the back side of the taco, preventing food from falling out of the tortilla. You can then eat without holding your head completely sideways, as shown. You still lose juice, but that’s a losing battle no matter what, hence eating over the plate. Idk man, I think that guy might just be a rookie at the soft taco game.
No clue. My guess is that since conservatives turned the smallest things into scandals, people are extra sensitive about any perceived criticism of him.
It’s annoying in the same way an Italian would get pissed if you broke your spaghetti in half before dropping it into the boiling water. Does it actually matter? No. It’s just something common that natives see and go “fucking really?”
I heard he once ate a taco while also wearing a tan suit. I gasped in horror.
He calls that negotiation. That’s why China ignores him. He doesn’t have the actual authority to play that game since tariffs are to be voted by the Congress to be effective. Sooner or later his house of cards will scramble. He is relying on this false pretense of emergency to bypass the Congress for now to play his stupid negotiation game.
I don’t understand how this can be predicated on an “emergency” of fentanyl being transported over the border when he is actively pardoning domestically incarcerated cartel members and escorting their families over the border and handing them green cards (for a $$$$ price).
The whole fentanyl story is bullshit and serves one purpose: ruling by executive orders.
In fact, there is more fentanyl crossing the border from the USA to Canada than the reverse. This administration is lying all the time to avoid power balance mechanisms of the Constitution.
