New Term: A Trump 'TACO' Tariff. I Heard A Financial Analyst Use The Term 'Trump TACO Tariff' On TV a Few Days Ago.

The host was asking the analyst about Trump's proposed EURO tariff of 50%.

The analyst literally said: "Don't worry about it. It'll just be another Trump TACO Tariff."

The host looked puzzled, and the analyst elaborated "TACO. Trump Always Chickens Out."

HAH!
Three days ago, Orange Caligula announces an inflexible 50% Tariff on the EU, because "the EU was literally created to screw the United States!"

Three days later, he postpones the tariff for two months.

Like the man said. TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT.

The world is learning, rapidly, that NOTHING Trump says matters. So, we may as well just ignore what he says. Better to just watch what he does. Forget what he threatens to do.

I'm sure the other countries already CENSOR what they show to the U.S. , and I'm pretty sure the U.S. intelligence agencies already censor what they show to Tulsi. They haven't officially dissolved the five eyes arrangement yet, because they don't want Trump to throw a hissy fit.

Because everything he touches, he's more likely to tank. Lots of wreckage of all kinds that this SOB leaves in his wake.
