DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT!”: Trump Explodes at Reporter Over Wall Street’s Brutal “TACO” Taunt

Elizabeth

The Oval Office turned into a warzone today as President Trump lashed out at a CNBC reporter who dared mention Wall Street’s new favorite insult: “TACO” – Trump Always Chickens Out.

🎙️ The Explosive Exchange

Reporter (Megan Casella, CNBC):

Mr. President, analysts say markets rallied this week because of the ‘TACO trade’ – the idea that you threaten tariffs but often back down. Your response?

Trump (immediately scowling):

I kick out?

Casella (calmly):

Chicken out.

Trump (visibly angry):

I’ve never heard that! That’s a NASTY question!

The President then launched into a rant about his “genius” negotiation tactics, defending his decision to slash China tariffs from 145% to 30% after talks stalled:
You set a crazy high number first! If I say 145%, then go to 30%, that’s not ‘chickening out’ – that’s BUSINESS!

Why Wall Street Loves the “TACO Trade

Traders are cashing in on Trump’s predictable pattern:

• Threatens nuclear-level tariffs → Markets panic
• Backs down later → Markets soar
• Repeat cycle → Profit!

It’s free money,” one hedge fund manager joked. “The TACO trade works because Trump always folds.
