The internet is using TACO memes to call Trump a chicken and the results are hilarious
Taco Tuesday is the best day of the week, but Wednesday may usurp it as the day President Donald Trump threw a fit after learning what TACO stands for.
Amid the stock market's dramatic ups and downs as Trump institutes tariffs and then calls them off, CNBC's Megan Casella asked the president about Wall Street's new nickname for him during the May 28 event to swear in former Fox News host Jeannine Pirro as the new interim U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C.
'Wall Street analysts have coined a new term called the 'TACO Trade.' They're saying Trump always chickens out on your tariff threats, and that's why markets are higher this week,' she said.

Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong coined the term 'TACO Trade' earlier this month, and Trump predictably got angry when he head that it stand for 'Trump Always Chickens Out.'
"I've never heard that,' Trump said. 'You mean because I reduced China from 145 percent that I set down to 100, and then down to another number, and I said you have to open up your whole country?" Trump said. "And because I gave the European Union a 50 percent tax—tariff—and they called up and said, 'Please let's meet right now.'"
Trump has done about faces on the tariffs he's imposed on both China and the EU, and also put announced 'recirpocal' tariffs on dozens of countries in April before announcing a '90 day pause' on tariffs for all of the countries except for China, CNN reports.
The president went on to brag about the U.S. being the 'hottest country anywhere in the world' under his administration before firing back at Casella by falling back on his tried and true misogynistic insult for women. "That's a nasty question. To me, that's the nastiest question,' he said.
Somebody should really tell Trump about the Streisand Effect, the phenomenon where an attempt to censor information makes it go viral, because the internet immediately latched on to this new insult and within hours #TACO had gone viral and people started pumping out hilarious and insulting TACO Trump memes.

Tesla Sales Plunge 67% to an Almost Three-Year Low in France
(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc.'s new-vehicle registrations fell further in France, undercutting Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's assertion last month that the carmaker has recovered from its early-year sales slump. Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months The automaker sold only 721 cars in May, down 67% from a year earlier, according to French industry association Plateforme Automobile. Tesla's registrations were the lowest since July 2022, despite the company rolling out a redesigned version of its most popular vehicle, the Model Y. Tesla shares dropped as much as 2.3% before the start of regular trading Monday. The stock has declined 14% this year. Musk recently denied the need for a plan to improve Tesla's fortunes, telling Bloomberg News in a May 20 interview that the company had 'already turned around.' While the CEO claimed Tesla was seeing sales decline along with every other carmaker in Europe, manufacturers including Volkswagen AG, Renault SA and BMW AG increased deliveries in the first four months of the year. Tesla's sales have fallen 47% through May in the second-biggest market for electric vehicles in the European Union. The Federal Motor Transport Authority in Germany, the EU's largest EV market, is scheduled to release May figures on June 6.

What's Ahead For The President's Reconciliation Bill
The House of Representatives' budget reconciliation plan, backed by President Trump, is headed to the Senate. The bill touched on nearly every aspect of President Trump's agenda, which Senate Leader John Thune hopes to have passed by July 4, 2025. The budget bill passed through the House with a slim majority, which concerns some Americans that it may face restraint in the Senate. U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) joins the Rundown to discuss the Senate's work on President Trump's reconciliation bill and Republicans' efforts to cut taxes, reduce spending, and create more U.S. jobs. She also describes her own bipartisan bill, which aims to improve childcare affordability and help parents re-enter the workforce. Not many people can say they've climbed to the top of Mount Everest, but FOX News Correspondent Mike Tobin can. Making it to the top is extremely dangerous and requires peak physical abilities. Mike joins the podcast to discuss the accomplishment, why he decided to climb Mount Everest, and what it was like to reach the top.

1 Russell 2000 Stock with Impressive Fundamentals and 2 to Approach with Caution
Small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 (^RUT) can be a goldmine for investors looking beyond the usual large-cap names. But with less stability and fewer resources than their bigger counterparts, these companies face steeper challenges in scaling their businesses. The high-risk, high-reward nature of the Russell 2000 makes stock selection critical, and we're here to guide you toward the right ones. Keeping that in mind, here is one Russell 2000 stock that could be a breakout winner and two best left off your watchlist. Market Cap: $977.3 million Originally a division of American Airlines, Sabre (NASDAQ:SABR) is a technology provider for the global travel and tourism industry. Why Do We Pass on SABR? Number of central reservation system transactions has disappointed over the past two years, indicating weak demand for its offerings Lacking free cash flow generation means it has few chances to reinvest for growth, repurchase shares, or distribute capital Limited cash reserves may force the company to seek unfavorable financing terms that could dilute shareholders At $2.52 per share, Sabre trades at 13.6x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SABR in your portfolio, it's free. Market Cap: $1.94 billion Known for constructing the Philadelphia Eagles' Stadium, Tutor Perini (NYSE:TPC) is a civil and building construction company offering diversified general contracting and design-build services. Why Are We Wary of TPC? Flat sales over the last five years suggest it must find different ways to grow during this cycle Gross margin of 6.1% is below its competitors, leaving less money to invest in areas like marketing and R&D Diminishing returns on capital from an already low starting point show that neither management's prior nor current bets are going as planned Tutor Perini is trading at $38.40 per share, or 17.7x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TPC doesn't pass our bar. Market Cap: $4.35 billion With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as an early investor, Remitly (NASDAQ:RELY) is an online platform that enables consumers to safely and quickly send money globally. Why Is RELY a Good Business? Active Customers have increased by an average of 37.3% annually, giving it the potential for margin-accretive growth if it can develop valuable complementary products and features Additional sales over the last three years increased its profitability as the 74% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue Free cash flow margin increased by 35.6 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more capital to invest or return to shareholders Remitly's stock price of $21.36 implies a valuation ratio of 21.5x forward EV/EBITDA.
