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.
