TACO(Trump Always Chickens Out): Trump Is the New Kid That Sat at the Lunch Table and Farted
The U.S. is the kid who ‘farted at the lunch table’: How Trump’s tariffs are driving away allies
Jul 12, 2025 #WhiteHouse #Trump #tariffs
A few months ago, White House officials paused most of its country-specific tariffs in order to negotiate trade deals. “90 deals in 90 days,” they promised. The deadline has passed, but few deals have emerged. Now, Donald Trump is threatening to move forward with his tariffs. “The guy’s doubled down,” observes economist Justin Wolfers, who adds that he’s “terrified” that the tariffs will reignite chaos this summer. And as Trump continues to antagonize dozens of countries, global alliances are shifting and leaving America behind. “Everyone else is off making new friends and we’re the kid that just sat down and farted at the lunch table,” Wolfers says.
