Because he always acts this way when someone asks him a question he doesn't like. Refuses to answer, then gaslights and calls them "nasty". Typical narcissist shit.

The taco truck in this case is one of Elmo's ugly ass electric dumpsters.
Trump taco sounds lewd
Donald Trump has very thin skin.
Everyone around him knows it.
World leaders know it as well.
🎶🎵 O-o-o-orange! Ch-ch-ch-chicken!
Trump’s an orange chicken and he’s stupid as hell!
Ooh, mamacita, he sees the economy fell!
Stock prices falling, and others are giving us flack!
Ooh, orange chicken’s having a TACO attaaaaaaaaack! 🎵 🎶
When you surround yourself with yes-men and don't attend meetings, you're going to miss a lot.
Because he is a thin skinned pos.
The US President being able to be raged baited into destroying what is left of the economy is something else.
this always comes to mind when hearing/reading about the trump taco
As someone who was practically raised on tacos, the way he eats tacos is… Annoying. It’s basically the way northern Americans eat what they call Tex-mex, which typically results in a huge mess. Tipping the taco in one direction or the other results in it spilling, so you’re supposed to tip your head instead. It means your elbow is usually sticking out more, with your arm basically parallel to the floor. Whereas his is basically resting on the table.
At least he leaned over the plate. That’s the other big rookie move people make, and then they end up with food all over their lap.
TBF, that's not even a taco. He just put some of his food on a tortilla. It's a common thing to do in Mexican culture.
Are people misinterpreting your comment as a legit criticism of Obama? Or are they reading a tone where there isn't any? (Maybe the word "annoying" colored the rest of their perception? It's not how I read it, I'm trying to make sense of the downvotes.)
I thought you were providing your own regional informational tidbit (and a useful one for me, since I usually avoid hard-shelled tacos due to the mess I make.) This advice sounds helpful and I'll be trying it next time I order Tex-mex.
Those are also soft shells, allowing that grip to seal the back side of the taco, preventing food from falling out of the tortilla. You can then eat without holding your head completely sideways, as shown. You still lose juice, but that's a losing battle no matter what, hence eating over the plate. Idk man, I think that guy might just be a rookie at the soft taco game.
No clue. My guess is that since conservatives turned the smallest things into scandals, people are extra sensitive about any perceived criticism of him.
It’s annoying in the same way an Italian would get pissed if you broke your spaghetti in half before dropping it into the boiling water. Does it actually matter? No. It’s just something common that natives see and go “fucking really?”
I heard he once ate a taco while also wearing a tan suit. I gasped in horror.
Why the fuck did it take so long for people to start asking him actual questions?
He illegally kicked out unfriendly media
In the past 24 hours the Elon drug use has come from the NYT and this is coming from CNBC. I’m calling bullshit on that excuse.
The New York Times, NPR, NBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, and Politico have been removed or had their access to briefings limited. Replaced with friendly right wing news sources. The Elon Ketamine use news is from an NYT article, the TACO phrase was from a Financial Times article.
The timing says everything. Elon is ‘out’ and media is throwing shade to pull negative sentiment from trump. Otherwise would have done it earlier. Mainstream media that is
Musk was always meant as a lightning rod for Trump's tariffs and doge cuts, nothing more
And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.
Elon has been ousted by Trump insiders, perhaps that is why he is getting bad press.
He calls that negotiation. That's why China ignores him. He doesn't have the actual authority to play that game since tariffs are to be voted by the Congress to be effective. Sooner or later his house of cards will scramble. He is relying on this false pretense of emergency to bypass the Congress for now to play his stupid negotiation game.
I don't understand how this can be predicated on an "emergency" of fentanyl being transported over the border when he is actively pardoning domestically incarcerated cartel members and escorting their families over the border and handing them green cards (for a $$$$ price).
The whole fentanyl story is bullshit and serves one purpose: ruling by executive orders.
In fact, there is more fentanyl crossing the border from the USA to Canada than the reverse. This administration is lying all the time to avoid power balance mechanisms of the Constitution.
Because he's insecure.
Our fucking president throws a hissy every "though" question, wait "nasty" question. Starts to insult the reporter and dodges the question in the end. Or just giving a nonsensical answer.
Relies on catchphrases on his socials for support.
What a fucking joke.
Always has been
He's a baby man.
With tiny baby hands
When he puckers his lips it looks like an ahole
referring DJT to a "foreign" food is the greatest insult to trump.
Trevor Noah has a hilarious bit about tacos from years ago where he calls tacos "the most American food that there is."
Um... yeah. Most of us outside of the media's self-imposed truth filter already knew there's a reason for it - because he's a thin-skinned crybaby.
Chicken skin is quite fragile
It's because he's a narcissist and it goes against his self image of a strongman who is respected, worshipped, and feared.
He tends to get angry when he's called out.
Like narcissistic assholes do.
Snowflake
Guess what? Fucking with the entire national (and, to an extent, global) economy isn’t usually a good way to negotiate. That’s why other presidents didn’t do it frequently. He’s a bull in a china shop, and even some of his supporters are sick of it.
The real answer is "He's a narcissist". This is just parroting his handler's bullshit damage control.
In the White House every day is TACO Tuesday!
