Donald Trump seemingly had a meltdown during a press briefing at the White House on Wednesday after a “nasty” reporter asked whether he was familiar with Wall Street analysts’ new term, “TACO trade,” an acronym suggesting “Trump always chickens out” under tariff threats.
I mean, that really wasn’t a “meltdown” but sure.
The word does seem overused. Any time he raises his voice or writes in all caps it’s a “meltdown”
Lemmy poster VICIOUSLY ACCUSES poster of BLASTING THEIR VOICE in a SCORCHING comment!
mmmmmmm chicken taco meltdown
What meltdown are we on for the year? The toddler in chief seems to have one every couple of weeks.
They’re all selfish fucks. Don’t want to take responsibility for anything. Doesn’t matter if it’s the environment, masking to save lives, or the laws they break.
In town halls hosted by Republicans (the very few of them who is hosting or did since Trump has been inaugurated) when people ask about issues being caused by Trump they either say agree or try to grease their words around it to sound less important without denouncing it, its the party of gaslighting and manipulation because thats the thing they are most competent at

Looking at the video I wouldn’t call it a meltdown. He seemed upset, but also kind of out of it, like grandpa who doesn’t necessarily have dementia but you can tell that engine ain’t getting full RPM’s anymore.
ROFL I love it. It’s a technique that t uses to control people - to make them always be on edge. It creates survival mode. He’s not doing it intentionally, it is a narcissistic trait.
Taco will be the next word banned from federal information systems.
Tacos will be banned from all restaurants in America. Taco Bell is now a terrorist gang, and Del Taco is a fugitive on the FBI-s Most Wanted List.
That would be my red line. Don’t you fucking dare touch my tacos you motherfuckers… You can rip the tortillas from my cold, dead, hands.
We all know who ultimately wins the fast food wars, though.
Insulin manufacturers?
… Taco Bell.
Even if you haven’t seen Demolition Man, the context makes it pretty evident what I meant.
Reddit will permaban anyone who uses the word.
Let’s not encourage him to stop chickening out. Him not doing the things she says he’s going to do is a good thing.
Imo it’s just market manipulation.
Generative AI slop is bad, no matter what.
Sometimes I feel like the people who say ai is always bad for everything, no matter what, kinda remind me of horse buggy salesmen putting down automobiles at the turn of the century. There are many instances in which ai would actually be a benefit, and many jobs are pretty much obsolete and ai is gonna give them that last push to die. Those jobs were always gonna go. You can’t stop the future.
Artists and other jobs people worry ai will steal are safe, so long as you’re good enough to be better than shitty ai artists, you shouldn’t worry. If ai is funnier and better than you, that’s kinda on you.
Most companies are realizing ai can’t match a human employee for quality. If ai can obsolete you, you were likely on your way out
That said an artist was acccused of using AI but wasn’t https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/art-subreddit-illustrator-ai-art-controversy
and if AI was good enough to replace artists we’d have AI rotoscoping. Still hasn’t managed this one job that should be able to be done by AI and they’ve been trying to for decades.
no artist wants to rotoscope. Not even AI wants to.
Who the fuck wants this punishment
What poor artist should have to live through doing such a cruel job of drawing Donald’s face. Have some humanity.
I wouldn’t blame artists for wanting to avoid drawing Trump, he looks like he is mid way through melting Raiders of the Lost Ark style.
These stories exist to distract from the active degradation of our rights
These stories exist to distract the american people from organizing and mobbing him
Nah - stories like this serve to both destabilize him, and make resistance feel more achievable.
It’s intimidating to think about trying to oppose a government that can and will disappear people at will, and is stronger than any government in human history. But a chicken TACO? That you can resist.
Also, if he’s focused on people name-calling him, it gets a bit harder for his handlers to keep him focused on their goals.
I love that we found a nickname that gets under his skin, but I just hope he doesn’t retaliate by targeting Mexicans specifically. Because tacos are a Mexican food and that’s all the connection he needs
Because he’s not already targeting Mexicans??
Targeting them more
The beauty of a smooth brain
China: bears
USA: chickens
I haven’t listen to this baffoon for a long time, now I did and it’s mind blowing that anybody can take anything he says serious. You really get stupider listening to him.
They were ahead of the curve!
This float needs to be found.
