DNC trolls Trump on tariffs with free 'TACO' truck parked outside RNC headquarters
Fox News
The DNC parked a taco truck outside the RNC headquarters to criticize President Donald Trump's tariff policies, highlighting the TACO acronym to accuse the president of "chickening out."
Breanne Deppisch is a national politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the Trump administration, with a focus on the Justice Department, FBI, and other national news.
However, in Washington, there is no such thing as a free lunch – and this stunt was no exception. The food truck was a taco truck, and the tacos came with a side of trolling: a policy-themed jab at Trump's tariff record, one the DNC sees as a major vulnerability heading into 2026.
The DNC's renting and customization of the taco truck, as well as its plans to hand out free Trump-branded tacos to passers-by, was previewed exclusively to Fox News Digital. It looks to seize on the acronym TACO, or "Trump Always Chickens Out," to provoke Trump's ire. The phrase was coined by Wall Street analysts when referring to Trump's tariff policies – and more specifically, espousing the view among some that Trump will walk back the steep reciprocal tariffs he announced in April, which are currently playing out in federal courts.
