Trump Fumes At Reporter For Asking About Wall Street's Notion That He Always "Chickens Out" On Tariffs" [View all]
Donald Trump once again got testy with a reporter over a question, this time over a phrase being used on Wall Street over the president’s tendency to not follow through on tariff threats: the TACO trade, as in “Trump Always Chickens Out.”
The reporter, Megan Casella of CNBC, noted that analysts have used the term, and it explains why markets have been higher this week. “What’s your response to that?” she asked Trump

“I’ve never heard that,” Trump said, before arguing that his tariff policy has brought China and the European Union to the negotiating table.
He then told Casella, “You ask a nasty question like that. It’s called negotiation. You set a number… if I set a number at a ridiculous high, I go down a little bit, they want me to hold that number. 145% tariff.” Trump said that “we were doing no business because of the tariff, because it was so high. I knew that. But don’t ever say what you said. That’s a nasty question.”
