What was supposed to be a spicy political jab at President Trump turned into a cold, soggy mess for the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday, after their taco truck troll attempt outside the RNC headquarters completely backfired—on Taco Tuesday, no less.
The Stunt: Trump in a Chicken Suit?
In a move that seemed ripped from a college prank war, the DNC deployed a taco truck with a giant image of Trump dressed as a chicken plastered on the side. The slogan? “Trump Always Chickens Out”—a not-so-subtle jab at his bold yet unpredictable tariff negotiation strategy.
The truck was parked outside Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., during lunch hours, intending to serve free tacos while mocking Trump’s trade policies.
The insult reportedly originated from leftist stockbrokers who coined the acronym “TACO” to mock Trump’s tariff decisions: Trump Always Chickens Out. The idea was to land a viral hit.
Instead, they got fried.
The Reality: No One’s Laughing—Except Trump Supporters
Conservative reporters on the ground documented the embarrassing outcome. The taco truck, intended to stay open from noon to 2 p.m., packed up and left early—due to lack of engagement, enthusiasm, or both. One journalist remarked, “Not even free tacos could save this disaster.”
Vice President JD Vance chimed in bluntly:
“The lamest opposition in American history.”
Meanwhile, Trump didn’t need to say much. When previously confronted with the accusation that he “chickens out” on tariffs, he dropped a cold, fact-laden rebuke that not only silenced the reporter but reminded America of the surging trade deals and manufacturing jobs under his leadership.
The Irony: Democrats Just Boosted Trump
In trying to mock Trump’s strength on trade, Democrats inadvertently reminded the public who redefined American tariff strategy. Under Trump, tariffs became a tool for economic leverage—not just political symbolism. Manufacturing grew. China blinked. Jobs returned.
Now, a clumsy chicken-costume stunt has become a meme—just not the one the DNC wanted.
