The #TACO monument for vile and evil stupidity?

Need to pinch myself to wake up from this Batman B-movie remake…

" It would be fantastically irresponsible to retreat to comfortable rationalizations about 'TACO' or how Trump should be taken 'seriously' instead of 'literally.' We can’t be expected to know the inner workings of Trump’s mind, but even if he was faking it, the terror for Iranians of the mere hint of nuclear annihilation was all too real. That matters."

"This is how the ratchet of normalization works—Trump makes the unthinkable thinkable, and when the worst-case scenario doesn’t come to pass, we all breathe a collective sigh of relief. But it’s time to stop seeking refuge in the familiarity of this pattern. Trump threatened to commit genocide in the context of an illegal war."

"We bear the cost of Trump's belligerence and suffer psychically as he swings from one unimaginable threat to the next. Meanwhile, insiders get to manipulate the mass media and the markets to further their authoritarian political goals and self-enrichment. This TACO party is proving to be extremely profitable for an elite few, but I'd bet you won't be invited to it anytime soon."

"This refers to the persistent belief that Trump is perpetually climbing down from his most dire threats—a paper tiger forever on the verge of folding. ...

It's fitting that the TACO meme was largely birthed by Wall Streeters, operating under the shield of plutocratic wealth and chronic naïveté that is intrinsic to the financial services sector. ...

Trump's TACO cycle continues to be fodder for insider trading and market manipulation."
