Louisiana Voice

There have been a number of clever names bestowed upon Donald Trump:

• Felon 47
• Cadet Bonespurs
• The Lyin’ King
• Grifter-in-Chief
• IMPOTUS
• Don the Con
• Tub-A-Lardo

But leave it to Wall Street to come up with the best yet.

In tribute (if that’s the correct word) to his vacillating on tariffs and his propensity to blink first in dealings with adversaries, they’ve dubbed him TACO, a simple acronym for “Trump Always Chickens Out,” a moniker that has Agent Orange (that’s another one) fuming.

(It’s really amazing how quickly the cartoonists seize upon an issue)

When a reporter asked him yesterday (Wednesday) about the reports that Wall Street traders are loading up and dumping stocks based on der Führer’s (still another) erratic back and forth on tariffs, he erupted in classic Trumpian style, first denying that he had done anything more than win a tough round of negotiations, and then chastising the reporter for asking what he described as “one of the nastiest questions imaginable.”

This guy calling anyone nasty is truly laughable. I mean lying down, rolling around on the floor, holding one’s sides until your entire body goes limp laughing.

This goes way beyond the pot calling the kettle anything. It surpasses the evil of Darth Vader, Anton Chiguth (No Country for Old Men), the Joker, Hannibal Lecter and Nurse Ratched combined (well, maybe not Nurse Ratched – she’s pretty bad).

As Exhibit A, I give you The Art of the Steal’s (yet another) latest screed on Truth Social:

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE,THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Just as a way of clarification, the all-caps format is not mine, but his. When he’s on a rant, that’s the way he likes to make a point – by the internet equivalent of shouting.

If that isn’t the typical schoolyard bully, I don’t know what is: deflect by blaming everyone else for being what you are in spades. All he needs to do now is roll around on the floor or hold his breath until he turns blue (but who would know, under all that orange pancake makeup?)

And by writing “21,000,000 million,” I assume he must mean that 21 trillion illegal immigrants have somehow flooded into this country. There have not been 21 trillion humans combined in all of earth’s history (the actual estimate if 108 billion), much less that many illegals in this country. (And, by the way, the total border crossing under the Biden administration is 6.7 million, not 21 million.)

Did they not teach math in the Wharton School of Business?

But TACO. That’s a new low, coming from the cats on Wall Street – and the most fitting label yet.
