TACO Trump (Trump Always Chickens Out).
Trump backtracks on European 50% tariffs increase. He moved the deadline from June 1 to July 9. He has lost all credibility.
Fucking Blowhard.

(2,642 posts)my earlier post on this subject. It seems I was a few days ahead of the MSM. I heard it first from a wall street commentator on CNBC and posted it here right away. I knew this was a nickname that would piss Trump off.
