Trump Gets Trolled Again

Media Mockery or Market Manipulation?

Matt Drudge, once a go-to source for conservative headlines, raised eyebrows Thursday after launching a bizarre attack on President Donald Trump. His homepage featured a giant headline reading “TACO” — a reference to a Wall Street acronym used by some traders: “Trump Always Chickens Out.”

The term has gained attention among market insiders trying to ride the ups and downs of Trump’s strong stance on tariffs and trade reform. But rather than focus on the policy wins, Drudge chose to mock the President with a photoshopped image of Trump wearing a taco suit and crown — an image many supporters called childish and disrespectful.

President Trump Fires Back: ‘That’s Called Strength, Not Retreat’

When asked about the so-called “TACO” trade during a press conference, President Trump didn’t hold back.

“I’ve never heard of that,” he said. “You mean because I cut China’s tariffs from 145% to 100% and kept pushing lower? Or because I put a 50% tariff on the EU, and they called me asking to talk immediately? That’s what tough negotiation looks like.”

Drudge Turns on Trump — Conservatives Take Notice

Once known as a conservative powerhouse, the Drudge Report has alienated much of its core audience in recent years by attacking President Trump and amplifying mainstream media narratives.

Disillusioned by the shift, many longtime readers have turned to new pro-America news platforms that highlight President Trump’s leadership on the economy, border security, and foreign policy.

To meet that demand, a new Drudge-style site has quietly emerged—featuring top stories, headlines, and commentary that align with America First values and real economic success stories.

The Bottom Line: Voters Still Trust Trump’s Results Over Media Theater

Wall Street traders might play games with acronyms, and legacy media outlets may chase clicks with taco jokes—but millions of Americans still remember the record-low unemployment, rising wages, and tough trade deals of the Trump years.

While elites mock, real Americans are watching—and they know strong leadership when they see it.
