President Donald Trump backed down on his threats against Iran Thursday, and the internet was ready to mock the move.
Trump could reportedly be having second thoughts on interfering in Iran in the wake of deadly protests against the Middle Eastern country's clerical regime. The move could drag the U.S. into a longterm conflict following strikes against the country last year and current military operations in Venezuela — something his MAGA base might not be keen to support — despite the president's statement that "help is on its way."
Online, plenty of talk was underway after Trump's reversal on action against the Iranian regime, including references to Trump as TACO — his internet nomenclature for Trump Always Chickens Out.
