You can see why the White House would want to TACO their metal tariffs. ".. aluminum in America has surged to a record high well above $5,000 per metric ton .. The impact would be soon felt on anything made with aluminum -- including beer cans." @bloomberg.com

The TACO thing was clever for half a second. It stopped being impressive a long time ago. But go on and keep regurgitating old things, like a bot.

@#2 ... It stopped being impressive a long time ago. ...

Why?

Because it may be an accurate appellation?

He blustered (a.k.a., spewed BS).

His blustering embarrassingly failed.

He retreated.

Not the first time we have seen that behavior from Pres Trump.
