President Trump wasn’t happy when a reporter asked him about the “TACO trade” on Wall Street, which stands for Trump Always Chickens Out, Politico reports.
Said Trump: “Don’t ever say what you say, that’s a nasty question. To me that’s the nastiest question.”
He rejected the idea that his reversals on tariffs amounted to him backing down: “They will say oh he was chicken, he was chicken, that’s so unbelievable. I usually have the opposite problem — they say you’re too tough!”
