Trump Responds to "TACO" Accusation: "Stone Cold Dead" vs. Economic Success

Washington D.C. - May 29, 2025 - A new Wall Street acronym, "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out), has sparked a reaction from President Donald Trump. A reporter's question regarding the term, suggesting Trump's trade policies lack decisiveness, prompted a strong denial from the President. "They're saying Trump Always Chickens Out on your tariff threats," the reporter stated. Trump responded, "You call that chickening out? Because we have $14 trillion now invested. Six months ago, this country was stone cold dead." Trump's response highlights the economic conditions as a counterpoint to the criticism. The video, uploaded by Reuters, shows Trump's reaction and provides a snapshot of his response to the perceived criticism of his trade policies. The incident underscores the ongoing debate surrounding Trump's trade strategies and their impact on the US economy. The use of the term "TACO" itself reflects a certain level of public perception and commentary on the President's actions. The incident will likely continue to fuel discussion on the efficacy and impact of Trump's policies.
