Democrats are mocking President Donald Trump for his repeated habit of walking back from his tariff threats, and Fox News is very upset about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent weeks, Wall Street traders<\/span> <\/span>have adopted<\/span><\/a> the acronym \u201cTACO,\u201d which stands for Trump Always Chickens Out, as a shorthand for the pattern of Trump pulling back on destructive tariffs after making tough-sounding announcements. Trump has done this with heightened tariffs he threatened or briefly put in place against the European Union, Canada, and China.<\/span><\/p>\n

When he was asked about this past Wednesday,<\/span> <\/span>Trump yelled at<\/span><\/a> a reporter for bringing it up, exposing his sensitivity to the insult.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensing a weakness, Democrats have begun mocking Trump, bringing up the TACO meme.<\/span><\/p>\n

In<\/span> <\/span>a video<\/span><\/a> posted to social media on Friday, California Rep. Eric Swalwell ate a taco while an aide asked him about Trump\u2019s cowardly actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mother Jones<\/span> <\/span>reported on Tuesday<\/span><\/a> that the Democratic National Committee plans to hire a taco truck and distribute free tacos outside of the Republican National Committee\u2019s headquarters in Washington, D.C., to further mock the president.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fox News isn\u2019t having it.<\/span><\/p>\n

At<\/span> <\/span>the opening<\/span><\/a> of his show on Monday night, longtime pro-Trump propagandist Sean Hannity expressed his outrage and accused Democrats of using \u201chateful, divisive rhetoric\u201d while consuming tacos.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning\u2019s edition of \u201cFox & Friends,\u201d which is suspected to be Trump\u2019s favorite show on the network, Swalwell\u2019s video was labeled as \u201ccringe-y\u201d and evidence that the party\u2019s agenda is failing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy\u2014the wife of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy<\/span> <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>a fellow veteran<\/span><\/a> of MTV\u2019s \u201cRoad Rules\u201d\u2014complained that having to explain what \u201cTACO\u201d means is \u201cprobably a sign it\u2019s not the best campaign for [Democrats].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Co-host Lawrence Jones said the mockery is inaccurate because \u201cthe president is getting the best deal for the American people\u201d when he retreats, echoing the administration\u2019s clumsy justifications for Trump\u2019s actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier in the morning on \u201cFox & Friends,\u201d<\/span> <\/span>disgraced<\/span><\/a> former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said it was \u201cnuts\u201d for Democrats to bring up Trump\u2019s weakness on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Fox\u2019s talk show \u201cThe Five\u201d on Monday, panelist Emily Compagno referenced the mockery, saying, \u201cDemocrats just can\u2019t quit the cringe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Daytime Fox host Harris Faulkner said Swalwell\u2019s video was a \u201cbizarre taco TikTok\u201d on Monday, while host Stuart Varney took up the issue on Fox Business and fumed about a \u201cstrange taco video.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, during the 2024 presidential election when conservatives<\/span> <\/span>took up<\/span><\/a> the strange habit of wearing garbage bags in a reference to a comment by then-President Joe Biden, Fox didn\u2019t have this much of a problem with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The multishow, on-air complaint session about the Democratic insult comes just a few weeks after Fox had to<\/span> <\/span>cobble together<\/span><\/a> a laughable list of \u201caccomplishments\u201d for Trump on his 100th day in office, lacking concrete victories to point to. Among the network\u2019s Trump wins? Ending federal support for paper straws and halting production of the penny.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fox News\u2014home of racist<\/span> <\/span>birther<\/span><\/a> conspiracies,<\/span> <\/span>election falsehoods<\/span><\/a> that cost the network millions, an endless stream<\/span> <\/span>of lies<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> <\/span>misogyny<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> <\/span>bigotry<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span> <\/span>misinformation<\/span><\/a>\u2014complaining about \u201chateful\u201d rhetoric is quite a spectacle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to enjoy their tacos.<\/span><\/p>\n
