‘Trump Always Chickens Out': TACO jibe draws US President's ire; ‘that's the nastiest question,' he retorts
US President Donald Trump isn't known for taking kindly to questions that challenge his authority or decision-making — a recent exchange over his tariffs game particularly drew his ire. On Wednesday, a reporter asked the US President whether the term 'TACO trade' might be a valid description of his approach to tariffs. The TACO in question is not a Mexican dish made with tortillas, but is used to describe how markets respond to his tariff policies. This is in reference to the markets generally selling off when he makes Trump tariff threats and then recover after he backs down. TACO trade, short for 'Trump Always Chickens Out' is a term coined by the Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong, as reported by the New York Times. It has been widely adopted by analysts and commentators to describe a recurring market pattern: Trump threatens sweeping tariffs, markets tumble, but then he pulls back or delays, giving countries more time to negotiate. The reporter asked the question while speaking to President Trump in the Oval Office of the White House. The reporter asked: 'Mr President, 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. What's your response to that?' Trump's response: 'This country was dying. Six months ago, this country was stone-cold dead. We had a country of people who didn't think it was going to survive. And you ask a 'nasty' question like that. It's called negotiation.' 'I chicken out? I've never heard that,' added Trump. 'Don't ever say what you said,' he told the reporter. 'That's a nasty question. To me, that's the nastiest question.' Trump also claimed he 'helped' China by easing the 'very high' tariffs he had initially imposed. 'We were very nice to China. I don't know if they're going to be nice to us. We helped them, they were having difficulty because we were basically going cold turkey with them.' However, Trump's recurrent retreats have become a key factor in how global markets react to US trade policy. A week after Trump announced his tariffs, global markets plunged in what many described as a stock market bloodbath. The Dow Jones and S&P futures dropped sharply, while Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index tumbled nearly 9 per cent shortly after opening. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was down 8 per cent in early trade. A US court earlier this week invalidated Trump's so-called 'Liberation Day' trade orders. The court ruled that the President had overstepped his authority by invoking the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify a broad set of tariffs announced last month. The ruling was met with relief in financial markets. Following the court's decision, domestic indices like the Sensex and Nifty, along with most major Asian markets, recorded gains. An appeals court later agreed to a temporary pause in the decision pending an appeal hearing. (With inputs from the New York Times)

Victoria's Secret Website Disrupted by Cybersecurity Incident, Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Victoria's Secret website continued to remain offline after a 'security incident.' As users worry about their customer data, here's what we know so far. One of the global leaders in lingerie retail, Victoria's Secret, suddenly closed its website on Wednesday after it was hit by a cyberattack. The website remained offline even on Thursday, and users took to the brand's social media platform to express their disappointment. Following the security breach, the company proactively disabled its website and some in-store services, stating that teams are working diligently to bring systems back online. Taking to their Instagram, Victoria's Secret shared a note for their customers yesterday. The note read, 'Valued customer, we identified and are taking steps to address a security incident. We have taken down our website and some in-store services as a precaution. Our team is working around the clock to fully restore operations. We appreciate your patience during this process. In the meantime, our Victoria's Secret and PINK stores remain open, and we look forward to serving you." Users visiting the site are also met with the same statement. As reported by the New York Times, Victoria's Secret's physical stores continue to serve customers without interruption as online operations remain affected. By Thursday morning, the retailer's shares had dropped by 8% since Tuesday, reflecting investor concerns. Although the company hasn't specified when the breach occurred, signs of the disruption began surfacing earlier in the week. The source of the cyberattack on the Ohio-headquartered brand has yet to be identified. Many users took to social media to tweet about the website being inactive for several days. victoria's secret it department rn — stella (@EMBRIOCHE) May 27, 2025 No one is talking about Pink and Victoria secret site being down, the cute panties are inaccessible, and I can't use my points!! — wanwan ???? Vtuber (@wanwanwoof) May 28, 2025 You're laughing? The Victoria's Secret website has been down for days due to a cyber attack and you're laughing?— ayesha (@beautiful_hag) May 29, 2025 Victoria's Secret's digital storefront has been notably absent for several days, raising speculation about a potential ransomware incident. While the company has not confirmed the nature of the disruption, such prolonged outages often point to cyberattacks, leaving millions of customers across the globe uncertain about their customer data on the brand's server. This development follows a string of similar attacks targeting major U.K. retailers, including Marks & Spencer, the Co-Op, and Harrods. Now, it appears the iconic lingerie brand may be facing a comparable cybersecurity challenge. Founded in 1977 by Roy Raymond in San Francisco, Victoria's Secret is one of the leading retailers of lingerie, clothing, and beauty products. From bras and underwear to fragrances and loungewear, the brand is best known for its glamorous image, iconic fashion shows, and wide range of products. The brand has become a cultural phenomenon through bold marketing and supermodel-led campaigns. While it has faced criticism and evolving market pressures in recent years, it continues to remain a prominent name in the global fashion and lingerie industry, now focusing more on inclusivity and modern branding.
