TACO (“Trump Always Chickens Out) has arrived in Iran.
✅ Caving in again, Trump on April 25 called off the travel of envoy Steve Witkoff and nepo baby Jared Kushner to Pakistan for peace talks just before they were set to leave. Iran’s president said Tehran would not re-enter peace negotiations so long as the US maintains its naval blockade of ships traveling to and from Iranian ports.
✅ Trump sent JD Vance to negotiate an end to the war against Iran on April 11, 2026. Nothing was accomplished.
✅ Trump declared a ceasefire with Iran on April 16. It expired on April 23, with the Iranians refusing to surrender. Nothing was accomplished.
✅ Trump extended the ceasefire on April 22 with no deadline. A second round of peace talks never happened. Iran had closed the Strait of Hormuz on March 2, and it has stayed closed.
✅ The U.S. military on April 19 and 23 seized two tankers smuggling Iranian oil. The day before, Iran attacked three cargo ships in the strait, capturing two of them. “An eye for an eye, a tanker for a tanker,” said Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi.
✅ The US has flushed $35 billion down the drain in the Iran war (at a cost of $1 billion per day) with no results. “Iran knows how to neutralize restrictions, how to defend its interests and how to resist bullying,” Araghchi said.
Iranians laugh at TACO
The Iran War is a military adventure with no point, and no end in sight, except for repeated US concessions.
Trump threatened on April 7 that “a whole civilization will die” in Iran before he backed off. His latest empty threat is to ‘shoot and kill’ Iranian boats laying mines. Like that’s going to work.
The Iranians are spreading memes and videos in which Iranian negotiators deliver a piece of paper that reads, “Trump, shut up.”
Over the past few weeks, Trump has been more erratic than ever, making bizarre claims and accusations about the Iran war on social media and ratcheting up his already inflammatory rhetoric.
Americans are noticing. Fifty-eight percent said the words “mentally sharp” did not describe the president very well or at all, while roughly half said his mental sharpness has gotten worse over the past year.

This is exactly how PedoPOTUS bankrupted all his businesses.
He has impulse control issues and if it wasn’t for tax accountants and lawyers he’d be homeless. Prior to his reality TV game show he was most famous for being very, very bad at business.
He was last in his class at Wharton, and he only got into a fancy business school because of his rich daddy, not his big brain.
As much as I hate the child rapist’s attacks on the free press, the free press screwed us all by going along with the made up “The Apprentice” story that the guy was a successful businessman.
Trump had decades of bad business decisions and they ignored it because ratings = money.
Corporate media and a corrupt and inept DNC are why we’re here, not Reagan or Falwell or Trump or Fox News, those are symptoms, not root cause.
The only problem I’ve had with the TACO idea is that chickening out doesn’t convey the sense of enormous harm that Trump’s narcissistic blundering does. The man shouldn’t be allowed near any situation where he has power to affect others.
Agreed. He should be impeached, convicted, removed from the WH, and given a job hunting pythons in South Florida.
But seriously, where is the outrage? Looks like he’s going to get away with all of it, no matter what he does. And his family of grifters will be billions richer.
