When publicly called out, an enraged Trump completely lost his temper.
Recently, a new term has been coined abroad - "Chicken Trade". The original text is, "Taco trade". The word "Taco" comes from the acronym of "Trump always chickens out", meaning "Trump is always cowardly".
Not long ago, this term was heard by Trump for the first time in a public setting at the White House.
The U.S. president subsequently became furious and accused the journalist who mentioned this term of being "disgusting", demanding that he not say such things. Trump reiterated that this was an extremely "disgusting" issue, which made people feel extremely repulsed.
After that, Trump mentioned the United States' practice of imposing tariffs on many countries, hoping to prove that he was not a "coward", but a "tough guy".
Objectively speaking, the person who invented this term indeed had some intention of deliberately annoying Trump. However, the key reason why this angered Trump so much was that these words did indeed have factual basis.
His inevitable concessions to China have already revealed his true capabilities. Hearing these words, Trump inevitably felt as if his spine had been pointed out. For someone with such strong self-esteem, this was clearly unacceptable.
