Jimmy Kimmel said President Donald Trump has changed his tariff policy so often that the process has been given a mocking new nickname: TACO.

That’s short for “Trump Always Chickens Out.”

“You’re not gonna believe this,” Kimmel said. “He doesn’t like the nickname at all.”

TACO refers to how Trump frequently announces a new tariff, causing markets to crash, then backs off, causing them to rise again. Some investors have used it to make cash in a time of economic uncertainty.

Kimmel said Trump flipped out at a reporter who asked him about the name, calling it “a nasty question.”

“But it seems to be catching on,” Kimmel said, then showed off some of his favorite TACO Trump chicken memes.

“How does it feel to be on the other end of the nickname game?” Kimmel asked. “Not great, does it?”

Kimmel said there’s only one way to make this even worse for Trump: “If somebody changed the lyrics to a song by his beloved Village People to drive it home.”

Kimmel played a parody of “Macho Man” ― a song Trump has frequently used at his rallies ― called “Taco Man,” complete with a video to match.
