Although, that's largely or entirely due to my withdrawing my post in order to incorporate a reply to your 9:04 pm post. Let's call it a draw? Since I include different info I'll let the post stand.

I really like the TACO acronym - Trump Always Chickens Out We could almost use it for a new thread title.

TACO in Chief?

This is what I instantly thought of. Tina Smith is a U.S. Senator for Minnesota.


IIRC it was a Cinco de Mayo post with a taco bowl from one of the Trump Tower restaurants. More underneath this post:

Megan Casella of CNBC must be getting high fives at work and other places she goes. This is epic.

Trump - "This country was stone cold 6 months ago." With the announcement that Dementia Joe has "untreatable cancer" the country really was dead 6 months ago.

I've realized that Levity is just there for comic relief, not that she's very competent at it. Humming Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" when she's speaking helps set the mood.

GM to increase truck production in Indiana following Trump's tariffs

General Motors (GM) announced it is increasing production of its light-duty trucks following President Donald Trump’s announcement this week of wide-ranging tariffs. The plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, will see increases in production and employment.
Workers at the plant make the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
Earlier in April, GM announced that its U.S. sales increased by 17% in the first quarter, asserting that it continues to be the market leader in full-size pickups.

Isuzu Selects Greenville County to Establish Its New United States Production Base

A subsidiary of Isuzu Motors Limited, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of medium- and heavy-duty trucks, Isuzu supplies commercial vehicles for the United States and Canadian markets.

“Isuzu carefully considered numerous factors when deciding where to locate its new production base. We found everything that we wanted and more in the State of South Carolina and Greenville County: a supportive business environment, excellent access to transportation, proximity to the Port of Charleston, an excellent labor pool, a skilled workforce being produced by nearby colleges, and the benefits of joining a large and growing automotive production base. We look forward to starting up our operations and making a positive contribution to the state and the local community.”
Isuzu North America Corporation President Noboru Murakami

“Once again, South Carolina’s reputation as an automotive powerhouse is bringing increased opportunities to our borders. Isuzu’s new Greenville County operation will make an incredible impact in the Upstate region and throughout the state. We welcome Isuzu to our business community and look forward to the company launching its legacy here.” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III

I knew it.

Trump irritated that his team didn’t tell him about ‘TACO,’ sources say

There was a reason for President Donald Trump’s particularly scathing response when a reporter asked him Wednesday about a new term coined about the president’s tariffs: TACO, or Trump Always Chickens Out.

He had not yet heard the term, according to a senior White House official who acknowledged to CNN that the president was caught off guard. Trump had said as much at the time, saying “I’ve never heard that” before calling it the “nastiest question.”
