President Donald Trump doesn't like his new nickname 'TACO'. Here's why people are calling Trump TACO and the meaning behind the TACO trade acronym

Markets had dismissed tariff risks under the assumption that Trump would follow an earlier pattern and back off, in what became known as the so-called TACO trade. That allowed stocks to reach new record-high territory recently, marking a stunning rebound from the collapse triggered by his “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs in April.

“TARIFFS WILL START BEING PAID ON AUGUST 1, 2025.,” Trump posted Tuesday morning to Truth Social, the social media website he owns. “There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change. In other words, all money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 - No extensions will be granted.”
