President Donald Trump doesn't like his new nickname 'TACO'. Here's why people are calling Trump TACO and the meaning behind the TACO trade acronym

The European Union is pushing to secure a trade deal with the U.S. ahead of President Donald Trump's Aug. 1 deadline.

US President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff campaign has, so far, yielded significant financial gains for the US government.TL;DRTrump’s tariffs have brought the US a record surge in customs revenue-$64 billion in Q2 2025.

President Donald Trump has again delayed a tariff deadline. His back and forth on the policy spurred TACO accusations. What does it mean?

Trump has repeatedly shifted his stance on tariffs since his “Liberation Day” announcement—earning him the nickname “TACO Trump.”

The FT also added a key piece of information that may surprise many Trump critics, noting that American consumers are not shouldering the tariff burden alone The post Who’s the ‘TACO’ Now? Trump Reaping Billions In Tariff Revenue While Other Countries Back Down first appeared on Mediaite.

Tariff Man is back again — and so is Wall Street’s TACO trade. President Donald Trump is once more threatening to lob massive duties on a wide swath of US imports, everything from copper and pharmaceuticals to goods from Japan and Russia.

Markets had dismissed tariff risks under the assumption that Trump would follow an earlier pattern and back off, in what became known as the so-called TACO trade. That allowed stocks to reach new record-high territory recently, marking a stunning rebound from the collapse triggered by his “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs in April.

Trump’s latest threats, which he posted to his social media platform Truth Social, are replete with strange capitalization choices and purport that a 30 percent tariff is a small price to pay—though it’s the American importers, and ultimately US customers, who pay it—for the great privilege of trading with the United States.

President Donald Trump seems willing to spend “financial markets capital” whenever stocks are up, say strategists at GlobalData, TS Lombard.

Trump insiders maintain that it would make little sense — politically or from a policy standpoint — for the president to offer any further extensions on trade.
