TACO Tuesday: Trump Could Be Setting Up The Ultimate Taco On Iran

Trump is threatening to destroy Iran's civilization, but he also told his golfing buddy, Fox News's Bret Baier, that the strikes might be called off if progress is made.

It took the nation a long time to realize it, but Donald Trump talks constantly, but is often nothing more than a contradictory circle.

Iran has looked Trump in the eye and walked away from negotiations, even as he is threatening to destroy their civilization by tonight at 8 PM ET.

Why is Iran not trembling with fear at Trump’s threats?

The Trump Doctrine has shown itself to be the TACO Doctrine.

For those who are unaware, TACO stands for Trump Always Chickens Out. The phrase was coined by investors who realized that Trump would make big threats on tariffs, but always back down at the last minute.

The Iranians are apparently familiar with the TACO Doctrine as well, since they aren’t blinking.

Trump is showing signs that he is ready to go full TACO.

The president’s latest gimmick to manipulate the media and get coverage is to give short phone interviews that might last as long as a minute or two to DC journalists and friendlies.

There are bigger friendlies to Trump on television than his golfing buddy, Fox News’s Bret Baier.

Trump gave Baier an exclusive on Tuesday that was a classic showcase of Trumpian melted-brain double-talk that suggested that the TACO stand is open for business.
