He had not yet heard the term, according to a senior White House official who acknowledged to CNN that the president was caught off guard. Trump had said as much at the time, saying “I’ve never heard that” before calling it the “nastiest question.”
“He thought the reporter was calling him a chicken,” the official said, adding that Trump was “reasonably” frustrated with the phrase.
The acronym was coined in early May by a Financial Times columnist and is now used as shorthand by some on Wall Street to indicate that traders shouldn’t fret too much about Trump’s tariff threats, since he usually backs down.
Why’s he so sensitive about being called a chicken? He clearly paints his skin and styles his hair to look like one.
If trump always chickens out, might it also be appropriate to call him Orange Chicken? 🤭
Edit: someone already mentioned orange chicken
Please stop making fun of trump, he gonna ban tacos!!!
Because he always acts this way when someone asks him a question he doesn’t like. Refuses to answer, then gaslights and calls them “nasty”. Typical narcissist shit.
Trump taco sounds lewd
Donald Trump has very thin skin.
Everyone around him knows it.
World leaders know it as well.
Imagine voting for this sad bastard. Your self-respect would have to be in the basement.
The taco truck in this case is one of Elmo’s ugly ass electric dumpsters.
🎶🎵 O-o-o-orange! Ch-ch-ch-chicken!
Trump’s an orange chicken and he’s stupid as hell!
Ooh, mamacita, he sees the economy fell!
Stock prices falling, and others are giving us flack!
Ooh, orange chicken’s having a TACO attaaaaaaaaack! 🎵 🎶
When you surround yourself with yes-men and don’t attend meetings, you’re going to miss a lot.
Because he is a thin skinned pos.
The US President being able to be raged baited into destroying what is left of the economy is something else.
this always comes to mind when hearing/reading about the trump taco
As someone who was practically raised on tacos, the way he eats tacos is… Annoying. It’s basically the way northern Americans eat what they call Tex-mex, which typically results in a huge mess. Tipping the taco in one direction or the other results in it spilling, so you’re supposed to tip your head instead. It means your elbow is usually sticking out more, with your arm basically parallel to the floor. Whereas his is basically resting on the table.
At least he leaned over the plate. That’s the other big rookie move people make, and then they end up with food all over their lap.
TBF, that’s not even a taco. He just put some of his food on a tortilla. It’s a common thing to do in Mexican culture.
Are people misinterpreting your comment as a legit criticism of Obama? Or are they reading a tone where there isn’t any? (Maybe the word “annoying” colored the rest of their perception? It’s not how I read it, I’m trying to make sense of the downvotes.)
I thought you were providing your own regional informational tidbit (and a useful one for me, since I usually avoid hard-shelled tacos due to the mess I make.) This advice sounds helpful and I’ll be trying it next time I order Tex-mex.
No clue. My guess is that since conservatives turned the smallest things into scandals, people are extra sensitive about any perceived criticism of him.
It’s annoying in the same way an Italian would get pissed if you broke your spaghetti in half before dropping it into the boiling water. Does it actually matter? No. It’s just something common that natives see and go “fucking really?”
Those are also soft shells, allowing that grip to seal the back side of the taco, preventing food from falling out of the tortilla. You can then eat without holding your head completely sideways, as shown. You still lose juice, but that’s a losing battle no matter what, hence eating over the plate. Idk man, I think that guy might just be a rookie at the soft taco game.
I heard he once ate a taco while also wearing a tan suit. I gasped in horror.
Why the fuck did it take so long for people to start asking him actual questions?
He illegally kicked out unfriendly media
In the past 24 hours the Elon drug use has come from the NYT and this is coming from CNBC. I’m calling bullshit on that excuse.
The New York Times, NPR, NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and Politico have been removed or had their access to briefings limited. Replaced with friendly right wing news sources. The Elon Ketamine use news is from an NYT article, the TACO phrase was from a Financial Times article.
The timing says everything. Elon is ‘out’ and media is throwing shade to pull negative sentiment from trump. Otherwise would have done it earlier. Mainstream media that is
Musk was always meant as a lightning rod for Trump’s tariffs and doge cuts, nothing more
And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.
Elon has been ousted by Trump insiders, perhaps that is why he is getting bad press.
