A Fox News host attempted to defend Donald Trump on Wednesday against claims that his agreement to a ceasefire with Iran represents the latest example of the TACO rule.
But to do so, Griff Jenkins made up another acronym also inspired by Mexican food.
The term “TACO,” short for “Trump Always Chickens Out,” was coined by Wall Street analysts last May who associated it with Trump’s habit of announcing huge tariffs that cause the markets to plummet only for the markets to rise again after Trump reverses course days later.
The spicy and insulting acronym has also been used recently to describe Trump’s mercurial nature in regards to Iran.
For instance, Tuesday’s threat that “a whole civilization will die tonight” unless Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz followed by the ceasefire agreement could be TACO to a tee.
