Where did he chicken out on alienating our allies? Where did he chicken out on bombing Iran? Where did he chicken out on raising tariffs (aka yeah he scaled some back but they're still higher across the board)? He's doing the shit he said he'd do and people somehow have convinced themselves "nah he actually backs off."
He doesn't chicken out, he does what he said and is fucking things up. Going to crazy high tariffs then backing off a bit but still ending mucher higher than we were from the starting point isn't chickening out, it's still fucking up economies.
TACO has become a flippant hand waving of drive by comments across tons of Trump posts and I'm tired of it.
I mean, the examples you posted actually have a lot of TACO moments, specially Iran after the bombing.
From “THERE IS HOING TO BE A REGIMEN CHANGE!111”
To “Pls, peace. OR ELSE. But peace please.”
The danger with Trump is not that he doesn’t do the stuff he wants to do, but he does it bad and half assed. Tariff stuff is no different, as he is pussyfooting like always.
Stuff like political victories in Congress and the Senate are probably the only thing he genuinely have gotten better and bolder, but I blame your shitty politicians going full Banana republic.
