Wall Street Traders Have A New Nickname For Trump, And It's Hilarious

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."

1. TACO

2. He ALWAYS backs up. The classic one for me was when he was invited to speak at a black congregation ...

... in Charleston a year after the Nazi march and the murder of a counter protester. When he got the the very first word off the agreed topic, the woman minister who had 10 years on him while he had over a hundred pounds, almost two feet of height on her - let alone the Pres, backed him up. Shut him up. Got him back on his three minutes of written talk and was back in his limo tout sweet. I knew then: he's a freaking coward and a big bluffer.

He'd get his ass kicked in a poker game. Ask Vlad Putin.
