Donald J. Trump always assigns nicknames to his perceived adversaries. Still, Wall Street traders have one for the co-president over his repeated tariff spasms, which make the market dive, then come back after he inevitably caves. Trump's nickname is TACO, an acronym for “Trump Always Chickens Out.”
Australian economist Justin Wolfers appeared on MSNBC, telling Nicole Wallace that Trump's tariff policy “nearly lasted one entire long weekend.
“He was a little unlucky," he said. "There was Memorial Day, which extended the weekend to three days, and you couldn’t have a tariff policy last a full weekend. So, Friday’s policy was reversed by Monday. And so, we get to analyze it today on Tuesday. And I think that’s really symptomatic."
