TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out

<p>This week, Rick's <em>Elephant in the Room </em>unpacks TACO Trump. (And, kudos to the Wall Street Bros who coined the "perfect" term -- "Trump Always Chickens Out.") As the anthropologist on Donald Trump, Rick (who has studied this man for over ten years -- thank you for your service!) sheds light on how TACO applies to all aspects of Trump. This flacid, feeble, fatuous fool is not the strong man he *thinks* he portrays. Completely inept, played by dictators, confused by intelligent people, and obsessively corrupt, Trump has always been a weak, small, stupid man in politics, in business, and in his personal life. Regardless of the news cycle, there's one thing we can always count on -- Trump Always Chickens Out, no matter the stakes. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can check out Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X and @therickwilson.bsky.social on Bluesky, and subscribe to his Substack at <a href="http://therickwilson.substack.com/">therickwilson.substack.com</a>. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Join the fight with the Lincoln Project at <a href="http://www.lincolnproject.us/">www.lincolnproject.us</a> and follow LP on X at @ProjectLincoln.
