Clips of the week: Trump chokes on TACO and other Republican fails

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are fighting—and their wretched personalities have led to a very ugly breakup

However, that’s just the icing on top of the GOP’s terrible week! Between right-wing media having conniptions over Wall Street’s delicious new name for Trump’s terrible trade policies, Education Secretary Linda McMahon babbling before Congress, and Sen. Joni Ernst’s morbid declaration during a rare town hall, Republicans are going through a well-earned rough patch.

And it’s all on video! 


Trump’s favorite network melts down over ‘TACO’ insult

Democrats have found a tasty new way to mock President Donald Trump for his repeated habit of walking back from his tariff threats, and Fox News was very upset about it. 

Sean Hannity could barely keep it together after reports that Wall Street traders had adopted the acronym “TACO” (Trump Always Chickens Out) as a shorthand for the pattern of Trump pulling back on destructive tariffs after making tough-sounding announcements.


Joni Ernst’s ‘we all are going to die’ disaster earns her a challenger

Watch Education Secretary Linda McMahon get schooled on diversity

Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes of Connecticut leveled Education Secretary Linda McMahon during a tense exchange at a hearing on Wednesday.

“You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth,” Hayes told McMahon, who was attempting to separate Holocaust education from African American studies within what she considers to be diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.  


Shameless liar Marjorie Taylor Greene gets caught in yet another lie

Things got lively during a DOGE subcommittee hearing on Wednesday when Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia of California called out GOP Chair Marjorie Taylor Greene for trying to run away from President Donald Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act”—which she voted for

“Chairwoman Greene, I understand, now regrets voting for this bill, as she mentioned yesterday. Is that correct, Chairwoman Greene?” Garcia asked, leading to a must-watch heated exchange.


What a wonderful week of wild Republican disarray!
