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.

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.
Always has been
He tends to get angry when he’s called out.
Like narcissistic assholes do.
Why the fuck did it take so long for people to start asking him actual questions?
He illegally kicked out unfriendly media
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.
The timing says everything. Elon is ‘out’ and media is throwing shade to pull negative sentiment from trump. Otherwise would have done it earlier. Mainstream media that is
Musk was always meant as a lightning rod for Trump’s tariffs and doge cuts, nothing more
The New York Times, NPR, NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and Politico have been removed or had their access to briefings limited. Replaced with friendly right wing news sources. The Elon Ketamine use news is from an NYT article, the TACO phrase was from a Financial Times article.
And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.
Elon has been ousted by Trump insiders, perhaps that is why he is getting bad press.
He’s a baby man.
With tiny baby hands
When he puckers his lips it looks like an ahole
Shitting the diaper in his pants
Small cock, too
Um… yeah. Most of us outside of the media’s self-imposed truth filter already knew there’s a reason for it - because he’s a thin-skinned crybaby.
Chicken skin is quite fragile
In the White House every day is TACO Tuesday!

The real answer is “He’s a narcissist”. This is just parroting his handler’s bullshit damage control.
Oh… I know EXACTLY why he got angry. The truth hurts, don’t it, Donny?
Guess what? Fucking with the entire national (and, to an extent, global) economy isn’t usually a good way to negotiate. That’s why other presidents didn’t do it frequently. He’s a bull in a china shop, and even some of his supporters are sick of it.
It’s because he’s a narcissist and it goes against his self image of a strongman who is respected, worshipped, and feared.

AI?
I prefer calling him Trump the Chump
Because he’s insecure.
