From Fox News: The Democratic National Committee (DNC) parked a custom-wrapped food truck in front of the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., in an effort to troll President Trump over his tariff policies.
The stunt received widespread mockery from conservatives.
The DNC used the acronym TACO for “Trump Always Chickens Out” to provoke Trump’s ire. The phrase was coined by Wall Street analysts when referring to Trump’s tariff policies, suggesting Trump will walk back the steep reciprocal tariffs he announced in April.
“Trump always chickens out. We’re just bringing the tacos to match,” DNC Chair Ken Martin told Fox News Digital of the effort.
Axios reporter Andrew Solender announced, “The DNC is serving free tacos outside the RNC building on Capitol Hill from 12-2pm today as a play on the “Trump Always Chickens Out” slogan.”

Tacos were actually being sold out of the truck:

The @DNC trolls Trump & Republicans with a chicken taco truck outside GOP headquarters in DC.
A reference to the phrase…

But if the stunt was supposed to hurt President Trump, it appears to be backfiring, bigly.
Vice President JD Vance mocked, “We have the lamest opposition in American history.”

Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross mocked, “The party that brought you the hugely successful “Dark Brandon” and “Republicans are Weird” campaigns are now going all in on “TACO”.”

MAGA supporter Lorrie Ann wrote, “Continue to double down on that rhetoric that lost the last election. Can’t wait to see how that works out for you!”

“Yup, this will definitely make Dems win again,” mocked Jonathan Toronto.

The mockery continues, as the ‘TACO’ truck has become a laughingstock among conservatives.
Out of all the tactics that don’t work against Trump, trying to out-Trump him is the least effective. You guys have had 10 years to figure this out. https://t.co/19wGdGzwnX

From Hitler to TACO…I don’t know whether that’s an upgrade or a downgrade. 🤔

“Trump is a ruthless fascist dictator who has no balls!” is not a coherent narrative and you cannot expect anyone but the most rabid libtards to believe this nonsense. https://t.co/urVq98Kkrs

This is going to backfire on the DNC. You know why? Because everyone loves tacos & now, they’ll associate tacos with Trump. https://t.co/C1BPXxlBJ2

The @DNC is going to continue to fail. This is pathetic. But keep it up, this is great for a Trump and the @GOP! https://t.co/0pVvreQPBZ

Hey @realDonaldTrump can you come to Texas on some random Tuesday and set up a taco truck and sell free tacos to your loyal supporters to get back at the radical Democrats for calling you a taco? Would be the greatest thing ever. pic.twitter.com/ggbeK8duPW
