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."

4. He frequently has never heard of what the reporters are talking about.

Don't his aides brief him at all?

5. That's a nasty question and you're a nasty woman, now for my answer...

WHAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm going to cry like a baby if you don't quit!

6. Yep. I can't recall any time when he has used the word nasty as his insult of choice for a man.

There must be some twisted anecdote out of young Donny's twisted childhood which would explain that.

*smh*

7. That reporter has cojones!!

And that it was a female reporter makes it all the more beautiful. Trump can’t handle a woman questioning him like that.
