The article discusses a new acronym, TACO, coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong, referring to President Trump's tendency to make bold policy decisions but later retreat from them, causing market instability. Trump reacted defensively to the acronym, asserting that his actions were strategic negotiations rather than cowardice. The piece also touches upon changes in Trump's focus from Critical Race Theory to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, highlighting themes of political backlash in his second term while showcasing the emergence of new terminology within political discourse.
Trump's pushback on TACO reflects his sensitivity towards criticisms regarding his negotiation tactics, which often lead to policy reversals after causing economic disruption.
Armstrong’s creation of TACO highlights a pattern where Trump initiates aggressive policies but often retracts them under pressure, creating confusion in economic forecasts.
