'TACO Trump' taunted as tariff deadline looms and '200 deals' falls flat

On Sunday's edition of MSNBC's "The Weekend," co-hosts Eugene Daniels and Jonathan Capehart laughed at the predicament Donald Trump has put himself in as his tariff deadline looms on Tuesday and the 200 deals he claimed he had in the bag are nowhere to be found.

Host Capehart began, "Some in the administration claimed they would make 90 deals in 90 days. Now, with only three days before the pause is set to expire, not only has the administration not come close to reaching its 90 deal target, not a single trade agreement has been finalized."

"Trump said that he would not extend the pause, and instead said tomorrow his administration would start sending out letters informing countries that their tariff rates will be what? Raised?" he added.

After sharing a clip of the president now saying he will be sending out letters to trading partners, host Capehart continued, "Trump's springtime,so-called Liberation Day announcement of these tariffs sent the world economy into a nosedive, causing stocks to tumble into erasing as much as $5 trillion in value from the S&P 500. The markets have since rebounded, but that whiplash was when the term 'TACO' was born, standing for 'Trump always chickens out,' and we'll see what happens when the tariff pause expires at midnight on what could be Taco Tuesday."
