Is it possible that it's been nearly 10 years since Benedict Donald tweeted this disgusting message for Cinco De Mayo? Oh, for the good old days, when this terrible, awful, no-good person was absent from the national stage — and from our consciousness.
But there's a bright spot in the news today. Trump may be taking a sledgehammer to our democracy and the rule of law, but this afternoon his racism caught up with him. Let CBS News explain:
"A new acronym is popping up on Wall Street to explain investors' reaction to Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs: TACO.
"Coined by Financial Times journalist Robert Armstrong, the term stands for 'Trump Always Chickens Out.' That phrase is meant to describe a pattern of stocks plunging when the administration announces stiff new tariffs, then surging when Trump eases up on them days or weeks later."
TACO is so perfect and for so many reasons that we cats have to claim dibs on Armstrong's lap so we can jump up and make biscuits there. Trump's insults (and extralegal "deportations" — we call them kidnappings) have richly earned him this particular brand of ridicule. Now tacos are all over our social media feeds. Le sirve bien!
You can tell that TACO has hit a nerve because when a journalist asked him about it, Trump responded in his typically victimized fashion, calling it a "nasty question." Well, good for that reporter for asking. We just wish she had followed up with "Mr. President, if it's a nasty question, that means it needed to be asked." We cats PURR.
