Trump Always Chickens Out
It is a rage bait for him dropping the tarrifs he enacted.
Ah ok. Great. Although maybe this will backfire? Given Trump's notoriously fragile masculinity?
Fascists maintain power becomes their followers think they're strong.
Turning them into a joke erodes that myth, and their support.
Enough of that, and House Reps and Senators start re-evaluating their votes.
There's very slim majorities, so it's unlikely but it's possible to see some good before midterms.
Poking his fragile masculinity is the entire point.
Ah yes, some rando mentioning tacos in a post Trump never reads will certainly stop his gestapo from renditioning people.
No, it's a meme. Apparently it started with traders who were concerned about his tariffs affecting their trades. But then they just started ignoring what he says or claims as TACO.
Trump was aware of the meme when asked about it by a reporter.
Backfire?
I think the idea is, it gets under his skin as intended, but Trump's fragile ego means now he digs in even more when making terrible decision so he won't "chicken out."
Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. Trump has cost his billionaire friends more than any Democrat tax bracket ever could, to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
I mean, given the apparently obvious insider trading on those moves, a lot of billionaires will take the lesson that they should just cozy up to Trump even more and get in on the real profits rather than back off and not join the feast.
