Trump schmilzt bei der Frage „Warum hüsten Sie immer aus“. Der Präsident schlug auch den Reporter ein, der nach dem neuen Spitznamen der Wall Street für seinen Handelskrieg fragte.

Isn’t he seeming more and more pathetic as the day goes on?
Sorry but all I’m seeing is Fred Trump’s failson reviving a dead system.
The Trumps, the Redstones, the Murdochs… sorry are we still calling it a democracy?
Maybe it just isn’t and that’s why Democrats are being so fucking pathetic.
If he’s going to get upset about being asked why he chickened out, maybe he should stop chickening out? That or just shut his fat fucking mouth for a change and try doing his job without being an idiot.
Hilarious. Trump might be able to shut up that one reporter but that’s not going to stop people from using the phrase.
He’s mad about a new nickname? I mean, he gives everyone else one, guess he can’t take what he dished out.
He’s so sensitive he’s gonna try to tariff Taco Bell. They aren’t they making American food. Until the do tariff. Make tacos great again. So kinda lunacy like that
Trump gives TACO flavored kisses.
*This* is how you make Trump melt down. Show him no respect at all.
>However, he insists the rollercoaster negotiations are all part of the plan. As for the question about being a chicken?
>“Don’t ever say what you said,” he told the reporter. “That’s a nasty question.”
I view this as an invitation to reporters to continue this line of questions
And as usual, Fox will play the clip of him saying big numbers, claiming that under Biden no one was investing in the US, and that he’s „forcing“ countries to negotiate. And people will believe it.
Critical thinking skills are shot and it’s harmful. Trade deficits aren’t inherently bad (reducing China’s). You really thinking the country was „dying“ under Biden because there were no investments? And he could negotiate with countries without tariffs; He’s President of the US, getting countries to the table isn’t difficult. Other Presidents have done it for over 100 years without having to pretend to look tough by using tariffs.
Time to make some red hats with white TACO lettering
Trump Melts Down at ‘Why Do You Always Chicken Out’ Question
Donald Trump had an Oval Office meltdown over Wall Street’s new acronym for his tariffs: TACO Trade, which stands for Trump Always Chickens Out.
As Trump took questions during a swearing-in ceremony for Washington D.C.’s new acting attorney general, Jeanine Pirro, a reporter asked the president what he thought of the new phrase.

He was clearly unimpressed.
“I chicken out?” he asked.
“I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from the 145 percent that I said, down to 100, and then down to another number, and I said: ‘You have to open up your whole country?
“And because I gave the European Union a 50 percent tax tariff, and they called up and they said, ‘Please let’s meet right now?
“It’s called negotiation!” he added.
The term TACO trade was coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong earlier this month as the world struggled to make sense of Trump’s on-again-off-again trade wars.
But the chicken moniker has since taken off among the investors on Wall Street, given the president’s tendency to walk back many of his threats.
For instance, Trump postponed so-called reciprocal tariffs against trading partners a week after his Liberation Day announcement on April 2.
He had threatened to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, including steel and aluminum, but later announced a one-month pause.
And for all the tough talk on China, he slashed tariffs against the country not long after they were announced.

Over the weekend, Trump also delayed a 50 percent tariff on imports from the European Union until July 9.
However, he insists the rollercoaster negotiations are all part of the plan. As for the question about being a chicken?
“Don’t ever say what you said,” he told the reporter. “That’s a nasty question.”
Later, he added: “I usually have the opposite problem. They say I am too tough.”
TACO Tuesday will now have a new meaning
Trump is afraid to admit he’s terrified of his daddy Putin.
Can we send the person who called him out to his face some flowers? He deserves some praise.
You’re saying journalists are finally starting to grow a spine???
Fucking finally.
Good. The chicken out question gets ourselves closer to the reporter that just flips shits and tells him to shut his fat fucking trap on live TV.
Who asked this question? American hero.
I’ve noted before, articles like this stress me out because it may be important to let Trump fool himself about how people see him when he faces reality for a second and backs down like this. I feel like a battered spouse or something, in that I’m worried about what he’ll do if he can’t convince himself that folks are buying whatever fig-leaf excuse he’s using to save face when walking back something incredibly harmful and boneheaded. I worry about what might happen sometimes if this shithead is denied any ability to protect his own self image, for all of our sakes. I hate feeling this way, and having to think this way.
>“6 months ago this country was stone cold dead“
Said Trump. The President of the USA.
What an embarrassment.
Marty McFly vibes
Looks like President TACO is annoyed at being called President TACO.

Can we designate a National Day of Clucking?
I do find it hilarious that it’s the goddam Wall Street Journal that seems to really get under his skin. Not only that they bug him so much, but also that they are pretty eager to take shots at him to his face.
