I think the TACO meme is a political trojan horse

[Uncle Joe]

I don't suppose it makes any difference what chicken game a Wall Street analyst for a finance magazine wants to form except maybe as bait for minor investors or advice for major ones.

However If I was a political leader, I wouldn't be too quick to jump on that bandwagon and dare any unstable person; with the power to stay with dead end policies that would trash the economy.

I have no doubt that under current dynamics if the worst case scenario were to happen, that would be used by many in the corporate media to shift or spread the blame.

I would stay with the thoughtless tariffs are aggravating inflation meme period.

1. When the country laughs at the ridiculous despot

It's an emperor's new clothes moment. He's exposed and powerless.
You can see Trump squirm.

[Uncle Joe]

2. I understand that impulse.

I also believe Troy enjoyed their new wooden horse for a while.

3. Curious plotline

The last thing we want to do is goad Trump into doubling down. But the wheels may fall off his Trojan horse. See today's court ruling striking down his tariffs. He may just be his own demise.

[Uncle Joe]

5. I hope so

If it doesn't and he sticks with catastrophic economic policies, after he is "goaded" by opposing political leaders, that will be the frame by much of the corporate media in attempting to spread or diffuse the blame.

If *rump is a coward for not sticking with his thoughtless trade policies, what's the opposite of cowardice?

4. The Trojan Horse is a myth.

Just like the Bible.

[Uncle Joe]

6. You can still learn from myth, that's why the Republicans hate the humanities.

7. The best weapon against these clowns is ridicule

These clowns do not have a sense of humor. They cannot STAND being ridiculed. And since they have no sense of humor, they cannot retaliate.

8. Is the legacy media all over this?

if not it's as good as gone. They don't care what a Democrat says, and they'll bury anything Donald doesn't like.

[Uncle Joe]

9. I'm thinking

that if *rump is self-destructing with his erratic trade policies don't get in the middle and give him the option of looking like the opposite of a coward if he does so. The Art of War and all that stuff.

The corporate media and Tappers of their world might not care now what a potential Democratic candidate says but if *rump goes through with his asinine trade polices that trash the economy, they will most certainly play those statements non-stop during the midterms and 28. "Such and such candidate said *rump was a coward if he didn't go through with the destructive trade policies!" 24/7.
