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.

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.

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.
