President Donald Trump speaks to the press following a House Republican meeting at the U.S. Capitol on May 20, 2025 in Washington, DC.

President Donald Trump threw a fit on Wednesday after a reporter asked him about an insulting acronym being bandied about on Wall Street.

It’s called TACO, or “Trump Always Chickens Out,” and refers to how Trump likes to announce massive tariffs, which cause stocks to sink, then backs off, causing them to rise again.

Savvy investors say they’ve figured out how to make a bundle via “TACO” trades.

A reporter asked Trump about it on Wednesday, and the president did not like the question at all.

“I chicken out? I’ve never heard that,” Trump fired back, then defended his tariff strategy, which was rejected by a federal trade court later in the day.

Trump ultimately attacked the reporter for even asking the question.

“But don’t ever say what you said,” Trump said. “That’s a nasty question. To me, that’s the nastiest question.”

That got Trump’s critics talking about TACO:
