This is such a perfect line of attack that Congressional Democrats should seize the opportunity: Make every Tuesday a TACO Tuesday! Hold a weekly press conference detailing how Trump and his lackeys have “chickened out”!
Here is the Political Wire’s summary of Jonathan Last’s thoughts on Donald “President TACO” Trump.
Jonathan Last believes “TACO” has the potential to hurt Donald Trump:
– It’s simple. Trump Always Chickens Out. You can put that phrase anywhere, apply it to anything, and everyone knows what it means.
– It’s meme-able. You have the slogan. You have the word mark. And you have an universally recognizable image. Hell, there’s even a pre-built emoji for it. 🌮
– It’s universal. You can apply it to any situation. Trump pulls back on tariffs? TACO. Trump gives in to Putin? TACO. Trump increases the national debt? TACO.
– It’s organic. No Democratic strategist came up with TACO. It’s an observation that emerged from the finance world—from the very same bros who voted for Trump in the first place. You can feel the disdain of his own supporters dripping off of it.
– It hits at something deep inside Trump. It’s about his soul. It’s about his weakness.
“By hitting him with TACO over and over, you (a) reveal his pull-backs as weakness and (b) dare him to go through with the stuff that will screw up the real world—and, in theory, (c) create pain for his movement.”
The latest TACO news: In December, 2023, Trump opposed the $15 billion sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel and pledged "to block it instantaneously." Today, he flies to Pittsburgh to give his blessing to the deal.
Eh . . I don't always have the pulse of the electorate in tow but I don't see this as a sound strategy. Most voters will hear "taco" and think it signifies some support of illegal immigrants. I also don't think trying to goad him into doing even more terrible things is smart either.
I hate to quote Russia Today (but Dana Milbank quoted this first), but this week they put it succinctly, in response to an online Trump rant that Putin was "playing with fire" by not obeying his demands to stop bombing Kiev:
"The Russian state-owned propaganda outlet RT immediately responded to Trump’s “playing with fire” threat. “Trump’s message leaves little room for misinterpretation,” it wrote. “Until he posts the opposite tomorrow morning.”"
Meanwhile, the British are saying that the markets are imposing a "moron premium" on Trump's policies, after having done the same for Liz Truss'.
Democrats: Make every Tuesday a TACO Tuesday!

Trump: “It’s a good deal.”
MAGA: “Made in America?”
Trump: “It’s a good deal!”
Sky-high trolling at Mar-a-Lago! Enjoy the video.

How about this one: https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2025/04/art-of-the-deal-1024x1024.jpg
I agree, TACO is too vague. Maybe as a one-off thing but just dovetail it into people not taking his ravings seriously or literally.
So true. For Conservative leaners,
Taco = Mexican = drugs and crime.
