Trump's Flip-Flopping Tariffs Spark Viral "TACO" Meme

Trump's Shifting Tariffs Fuel Viral Meme: "TACO" Takes Over Social Media The White House has become the unlikely center of a viral meme, with the acronym TACO ("Trump Always Chickens Out") trending across social media. The term, coined by Trump's political opponents, highlights his tendency to announce harsh trade tariffs only to later soften or retract them. This pattern has been observed in his dealings with the European Union and China. "It's a catchy way to summarize what many see as Trump's inconsistent approach to trade," says political analyst Maria Santos. The video shows numerous examples of memes featuring the acronym, including images of Trump wearing a taco-themed crown. Trump himself has reacted angrily to the meme, denying the accusations of inconsistency. However, the meme's persistent popularity reflects a growing perception of his trade policies as unpredictable and unreliable. The widespread use of the TACO meme demonstrates the power of social media to shape public discourse and even influence political narratives.
