Always Cucks Out

Here's the origin video. On May 28, a White House reporter asked Trump about Wall Street traders using the term TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) to describe his tariff policy. The acronym is meant to mean that Stock Traders shouldn't fear Trump's tariff threats because he always cancels the tariffs out of fear. Trump gave an unusually long 2 minute answer to the reporter. Chuck Schumer is now using the term to try to taunt Trump into war with Iran.

They can't even use it correctly. It's the "TACO principle", not a nickname.
