He had not yet heard the term, according to a senior White House official who acknowledged to CNN that the president was caught off guard. Trump had said as much at the time, saying “I’ve never heard that” before calling it the “nastiest question.”
“He thought the reporter was calling him a chicken,” the official said, adding that Trump was “reasonably” frustrated with the phrase.
The acronym was coined in early May by a Financial Times columnist and is now used as shorthand by some on Wall Street to indicate that traders shouldn’t fret too much about Trump’s tariff threats, since he usually backs down.
When you surround yourself with yes-men and don’t attend meetings, you’re going to miss a lot.

I approve as a card-carrying gay. That’s the funniest shit lol
The original comment was pulled. Was he slamming chatgpt or only UK cigarettes?
Guess what? Fucking with the entire national (and, to an extent, global) economy isn’t usually a good way to negotiate. That’s why other presidents didn’t do it frequently. He’s a bull in a china shop, and even some of his supporters are sick of it.

Why the fuck did it take so long for people to start asking him actual questions?
He illegally kicked out unfriendly media
In the past 24 hours the Elon drug use has come from the NYT and this is coming from CNBC. I’m calling bullshit on that excuse.
Elon has been ousted by Trump insiders, perhaps that is why he is getting bad press.
The New York Times, NPR, NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and Politico have been removed or had their access to briefings limited. Replaced with friendly right wing news sources. The Elon Ketamine use news is from an NYT article, the TACO phrase was from a Financial Times article.
And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.
The timing says everything. Elon is ‘out’ and media is throwing shade to pull negative sentiment from trump. Otherwise would have done it earlier. Mainstream media that is
Musk was always meant as a lightning rod for Trump’s tariffs and doge cuts, nothing more
Our fucking president throws a hissy every “though” question, wait “nasty” question. Starts to insult the reporter and dodges the question in the end. Or just giving a nonsensical answer.
Relies on catchphrases on his socials for support.
What a fucking joke.
Always has been
Oh… I know EXACTLY why he got angry. The truth hurts, don’t it, Donny?
The US President being able to be raged baited into destroying what is left of the economy is something else.
referring DJT to a “foreign” food is the greatest insult to trump.
Trevor Noah has a hilarious bit about tacos from years ago where he calls tacos “the most American food that there is.”
Because he’s insecure.
Because he is a thin skinned pos.
The taco truck in this case is one of Elmo’s ugly ass electric dumpsters.
