The Real Reason Trump Got Pissed at a Reporter on the "Taco Question."

It's not the "Trump Always Chickens Out" thing at all. Trump is thinking about the "nasty" alternate use of the word "taco" as a euphemism for the female genitalia.

He doesn't like being called a "TACO." Not one bit. Think about it.

but I’m more inclined to believe it’s getting dissed by Wall Street traders, for whom he has a modicum of respect - to the extent that he can respect any working person.

abuse, punish, control, deride, and forcibly REMOVE from this country and the "white" culture he thinks is the end-all, be-all. For him, to be called a "Mexican" (or other Latino) is to be called a "DOG" and we all know how he feels about the latter.

Just a creep, through and through.

Imagine if any of his worker bee's around him had the courage to warn him ahead of time. He or someone around him could have come up with a good or funny response. But no, just get mad and look like an idiot.

That’s the nickname I’ve been searching for. Having it given by Wall Street, whose respect he will NEVER get, must gall him to the bone. He’s the grotesquerie that the real moneyed call “nouveau riche” and mean “lowlife poseurs.”
