The New Trump Nickname Emerges

During a recent episode of ABC’s daytime talk show “The View,” co-host Ana Navarro enthusiastically introduced viewers to what financial analysts have apparently dubbed “TACO trade” – an acronym for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” The nickname refers to former President Trump’s approach to trade policies, particularly suggesting that he fails to follow through on his strong initial positions. Navarro, a frequent Trump critic, appeared delighted with the moniker, repeatedly shouting “taco” throughout the segment to the amusement of her co-hosts and studio audience.

Navarro’s exuberance for the nickname was matched by moderator Whoopi Goldberg, who typically avoids saying Trump’s name on air, instead referring to him as “you-know-who.” Upon hearing the new acronym, Goldberg commented approvingly, suggesting she might adopt it in place of her usual reference. The studio audience responded with laughter and applause, seemingly endorsing the hosts’ enthusiasm for the new terminology.

Connecting Food to Politics

Navarro took the joke further by suggesting there might be unintended consequences of the nickname gaining popularity. “I’m waiting for them to ban Taco Tuesday any moment now,” Navarro quipped during the broadcast, implying that Trump supporters might retaliate against the Mexican food reference. This comment further amused the audience while extending the food-based political metaphor that has now entered the political discourse around the former president’s policies.

The co-host specifically referenced what she characterized as Trump’s “endless attacks on Mexico” when discussing why she found the nickname particularly fitting. Navarro, who was born in Nicaragua, has frequently positioned herself as a defender of Latino interests and a critic of Trump’s immigration and border policies. Her repeated attempts to start a “TACO! TACO! TACO!” chant during the show underscored her enthusiasm for the new moniker.

Trump’s Response

The former president has reportedly been asked about the new nickname, with some outlets describing him as rejecting the “TACO” label and pushing back against the suggestion that he “chickens out” on policy positions. Trump’s response indicates the nickname may have achieved at least one of the qualities Navarro suggested makes for an effective political nickname – the ability to irritate its target. Trump’s reaction has only given the term more attention in political circles.

While “The View” hosts seemed to enjoy their discussion of the acronym, the segment represents yet another example of the program’s often critical coverage of the former president. The daytime talk show, which airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC, frequently features political discussions that align with progressive viewpoints, with Navarro among the most outspoken critics of conservative policies and politicians, particularly those associated with Trump.
