Trump warned a reporter not to ‘ever say what’ she ‘said’ again after being asked a question about the impact of his ‘tariff threats’ on the stock market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since being sworn in for his second term,\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0certainly hasn’t faffed about, signing off on multiple executive orders alongside unveiling a slew of tariffs against countries across the\u00a0globe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tariffs aren’t only set to impact other countries either, but businesses\u00a0such as Walmart<\/a>\u00a0and Apple.<\/p>\n

While initially sending the market plummeting, this week reportedly marked a boost – those on Wall Street reportedly coming up with a nickname for the repercussions of Trump’s so-called ‘Liberation Day<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

And, well, the\u00a0president<\/a>\u00a0wasn’t exactly best pleased when the nickname was aired by a reporter who asked Trump a dicey question during a live press conference at the\u00a0White House<\/a>\u00a0on May 28.<\/p>\n

Trump’s ‘TACO trade’<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A reporter posed the question to the POTUS: “They’re saying ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ on the tariff threats and that’s why markets are higher this week. What’s your response to that?”<\/p>\n

The full nickname mocking Trump’s tariffs – or in more polite terms, inspired by the president ? ‘TACO trade’.<\/p>\n

And unsurprisingly, this didn’t go down too well with Trump.<\/p>\n

Initially, PEOPLE\u00a0reports<\/a>\u00a0the president was a bit confused. For context, the nickname mocks Trump’s extension of various tariffs – for example, pushing back the deadline for negotiations on the 50 percent tariff on EU goods\u00a0from June 1 to July 9<\/a>\u00a0which, in turn, helped the stock market rise again.<\/p>\n

Once the penny had dropped, Trump responded: “Six months ago, this country was stone-cold dead. We had a country, people didn’t think it was gonna survive. And you ask a nasty question like that?”<\/p>\n

He warned: “Don’t ever say what you said. That’s a nasty question.”<\/p>\n

And it’s not the only time Trump hasn’t been able to hack a reporter’s probing.<\/p>\n

It follows Trump having a similarly frosty run-in with a journalist on May 20 while speaking to media on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

A journalist from NOTUS asked: “Andy Harris said that you didn\u2019t adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill?”<\/p>\n

Trump replied asking the reporter what publication he worked for, to which he replied NOTUS.<\/p>\n

Really getting his claws out, the president responded: “Who? I don’t even know what the hell that is. Get yourself a real job.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
