(noun) acronym encapsulating notion that Donald Trump does not follow through on his policy threats
New words and slogans are invented all the time. Why does one catch on, and another not? Having thrown one at the wall and watched, astonished, as it stuck, I have a theory.
The winners are short and humorous, and label something everyone was already aware of. Taco — for Trump Always Chickens Out — is only four letters, is funny for having a hard “k” sound (an intrinsically comic noise, somehow) and refers to something Mexican, which is somewhat ironic given the US president’s obsession with the southern border. It also sounds like just the kind of mean joke he would enjoy, were it told about anyone else.
