President Donald Trump He is said to be furious with his staff not to inform him of the so-called “Taco” nickname granted to He regarding his fare policy.
The nickname is a Acronym for “Trump Always Chicken Out”, In reference to him supporting the massive rates placed in all Chinese imports and the so -called “Liberation Day” Rates he placed in dozens of countries In April.
Trump’s nickname was out of guard, with a high official at the White House, who told CNN that Trump had not heard the moniker. Trump went out to a journalist on Wednesday who asked him about the nickname, saying: “I have never heard that” before saying -the “most unpleasant question”.

“He thought the journalist called him chicken,” the official said to CNN, adding that Trump was “reasonably” frustrated with the sentence.
The acronym was first created in May by a Financial Times columnist and was used in Wall Street when he spoke of Trump’s rates to indicate that they should not be too worried about delights, as he is almost always receded when facing the realities of the abrupt import tax market.
CNN reported, quoting a person who knew this, Trump also aroused his frustrations to his staff. It was frustrated not only by the acronym itself, but also because his staff did not make him aware.
Trump clearly offended the idea that many of the financial circles consider their fare policy as weak. His response on Wednesday stated that the acronym weakened what he sees as a key tactic for renegotiating many international commercial offers.
On Wednesday, he explained that he had launched ridiculous numbers for his fare threats to pressure countries to meet their demands.
“He clearly upset, mainly because he showed the lack of understanding on how he really uses these threats for leverage,” said a person who knew the subject on CNN. “But obviously, it is not a kind that has a goodness of weakness, so the idea of someone would think that in terms of their actions it is not well received.”
In just last week, Trump threatened to impose 50% of rates on the European Union before extending the deadline to allow more specific negotiations. He has also threatened to re -establish the trade war with China despite the United States Court for the International Commercial Judgment Wednesday, which does not have the authority to unilaterally impose rates without Congress. However, an appeal court allowed the rates to remain at the moment as long as the case is considered.
