He gave respect grudgingly to those in the financial sector, so becoming the butt of their jokes must wound his ego horribly.

human talent there, just images generated mindlessly by AI, and they probably got the ones you see there only after dozen if not hundreds of other images - churned out mindlessly by software with zero awareness of who Trump is and what tacos and chickens are - had to be discarded because they were completely grotesque and showed that the AI tool had no awareness of what it was creating.

I'd much rather see something photoshopped, or even a basic sketch, than this AI slop generated by AI users with little control over what the AI will spit out.

I watched The Last Word last night and love when Lawerence set this up. I was so pleased when this reporter asked this question and I love trump's reaction to this question.

President Donald Trump unleashed on a reporter Wednesday who asked him about a recently popularized Wall Street term known as "TACO trade" and whether the president "chickens out" on his repeated tariff threats......

On Wednesday, CNBC's Megan Casella alluded to Trump's repeated tariff threats while asking him about the "TACO trade" theory, a term that has been circulating on Wall Street, which translates to "Trump Always Chickens Out."

It was first devised by the Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong earlier this month.

"Mr. President, Wall Street analysts have coined a new term called the TACO trade," Casella asked Trump on Wednesday, during the swearing-in ceremony for Fox News host Jeannine Pirro as the interim U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C.

"They're saying Trump always chickens out on your tariff threats and that's why markets are higher this week. What's your response to that?" Casella asked.

The president fired back at Casella, accusing her of asking a "nasty" question and demanding she never ask it again.....

"But don't ever say what you said," Trump told Casella. "That's a nasty question. To me, that's the nastiest question."
