trump chickened out

Wall Street's market sentiment has shifted from 'TACO' (Trump Always Chickens Out) to 'NACHO' (Not A Chance Hormuz Opens), reflecting growing pessimism about the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Investors now anticipate a prolonged period of elevated oil prices and shipping risks, moving away from assumptions of a quick resolution.

Market analysts have shifted from the 'TACO' nickname for President Trump to 'NACHO' amid escalating tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. This new label reflects growing skepticism that the crucial global energy route will reopen soon, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts and trade disputes.

This victory gives BJP more than a new state. It gives Modi an eastern anchor to complement his dominance across the Hindi heartland and the West.

Even with the ceasefire in West Asia, it may take time for oil prices to come down. This will deal a heavy blow to Trump

If anything, this moment feels like a rare theological pullback, a reminder that the Church, for all its history of intrigue and compromise, still retains its oldest function: to define the boundaries of right and wrong when politics refuses to.

Donald Trump's shifting deadlines and threats towards Iran, including expletive-laden social media posts, led to global "TACO" memes. Despite escalating rhetoric and a threatened military response, Trump ultimately announced a ceasefire, citing met military objectives and progress on a peace agreement.

PM Sharif and Army chief Munir reportedly engaged US Vice-President JD Vance and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to hammer out the tentative truce, although President Trump stepped up to take credit

The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire. This pause follows days of escalating strikes and threats. Pakistan played a key role in brokering the truce. Talks are scheduled for Friday in Islamabad. The agreement aims to de-escalate tensions and open a path for diplomacy. Global oil prices had surged significantly during the conflict.

French president Macron criticized Donald Trump's inconsistent Iran policy, deeming military action to reopen the Strait of Hormuz unrealistic. Macron emphasized the need for de-escalation and renewed negotiations. Trump's shifting stances on allies, escalation, and war objectives have drawn international and domestic criticism, with many nations hesitant to join US efforts.

So, he’s not pulling out, for now. But, his military goals on Iran remain vague, and he appears to be washing his hands of Hormuz. That makes him even more unpredictable for the world

On Day 11 of the US-Iran war, President Trump claims devastating military losses and a swift end, while Iran signals prolonged resistance. This conflict is evolving into a test of endurance, with Iran aiming to outlast Washington and Israel through attrition and disruption, while Trump faces domestic pressure from rising oil prices and potential midterm backlash.

Following US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and ongoing tensions, global markets are reassessing Donald Trump's willingness to act decisively. The previous assumption that Trump would back down from threats, particularly regarding tariffs, is now in question. The economic impact hinges on Iran's response, with potential scenarios ranging from global cooperation to a full-blown trade war and recession.

Taran Singh Brar, a documentary filmmaker, placed the "Chicken Don" in the lawn, near the Washington Monument. Early this year, Brar had started an online fund raising campaign for this unique protest. "Trump is too chicken to release his tax returns, to stand up to Putin," he told the local media.

“China’s position is consistent and we are open to consultations and dialogues, but any form of consultations and negotiations must be conducted on the basis of mutual respect and in an equal manner,” said China's ministry of commerce spokesman He Yadong. “Any claims about the progress of China-US trade negotiations are groundless as trying to catch the wind and have no factual basis.”

President Trump defended his tariff negotiation tactics, dismissing claims he backs down from threats. He argued that announcing high tariffs and then reducing them is a strategic approach, not weakness. Trump believes his methods have driven investment and brought the EU to the negotiating table, despite market fluctuations and skepticism.
