The Trump White House rarely admits defeat. It prefers the posture of inevitability: broad shoulders, big hands, and economic proclamations delivered with the rhythmic confidence of a real estate listing. Thursday morning, that posture cracked.
Buried in a late Friday news dump, Donald Trump issued a sweeping executive order exempting more than 100 food items from the reciprocal tariffs he once insisted were essential to safeguarding America’s economic security.
The order itself makes clear why: domestic demand, production capacity, and trade negotiations all made these exemptions “necessary and appropriate.” In other words, the policy had become politically and economically untenable.
There was a reason to raise food prices and it will stay up because these companies are greedy and won’t lower the prices back.
This will threaten all those new banana factories in Michigan. Takin away our banana jerbs.

Did he admit it? Did he say that? Cuz your readers will think so, but MAGA won’t.
T A C O. Invest with that in mind, it’s like gambling with a 100% chance.
So it’s executive orders on top of executive orders now? Truly democratic.
He doesn’t know how to govern and get approval so executive order is all he has.
Yeah. Prices ain’t going down. Profits are just going to go up.
We know what went down and it wasn’t prices.
This was the reason for the tariffs. An excuse to raise prices and keep them high.
America is so screwed.
Don’t worry it won’t stay bad for long … it’s going to get worse.
It really makes you think: which rich assholes recently bought stock in grocery store corporations?
Taco will always Taco
Prices never go back down… so we got price increases for no real reason… thanks Mr trump glad your policies are so great… sure makes the whole country great…
Tired of winning yet?
I’m actually surprised he even gives a shit. I assumed he would just go on forever, ignoring facts and proclaiming everyone who contradicts him to be a radical left antifa terrorist.
That won’t change.
If Trump not admitting defeat were true they wouldn’t be calling him TACO.
He doesn’t admit defeat, he claims some kind of win or deal and then backs down.
This is a perfect title.
I want some journalists to ask him why reversing his
taxes, oops, I mean, “tariffs” is a good thing, iftaxestariffs are so great?big hands?
you might remember him as a man with small hands
Jesus fucking Christ, I just realized that we elected uncle jack to the office of president. Both are incompetent child molesters with severe body image issues. Ugh
Tiny hands, the tiniest, everyone says so!
And his base will claim he’s doing them a favor. “Look, he’s lowering prices by removing tariffs (that totally already existed before him!)”
