Trump Clashes with Reporter Over \u201cT.A.C.O.\u201d Nickname<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a May 28 press conference, President Donald Trump grew visibly irritated when CNBC reporter Megan Casella asked about a new Wall Street nickname mocking his trade tactics: \u201cT.A.C.O.\u201d \u2014 \u201cTrump Always Chickens Out.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The term, coined by a Financial Times columnist, refers to Trump\u2019s pattern of making harsh tariff threats only to later delay or soften them. Examples include his decision to postpone a 50% tariff on EU goods and freeze a 145% tariff on Chinese imports.<\/p>\n

Trump, initially confused, called the question \u201cnasty\u201d and defended his moves as part of negotiation strategy. \u201cDon\u2019t ever say what you said,\u201d he warned the reporter.<\/p>\n

Just days earlier, Trump had another tense moment with a reporter, telling one journalist: \u201cGet yourself a real job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now in his second term, Trump\u2019s press interactions remain as combative as ever, especially when challenged on his policies.<\/p>\n
