Donald Trump seemingly had a meltdown during a press briefing at the White House on Wednesday after a “nasty” reporter asked whether he was familiar with Wall Street analysts’ new term, “TACO trade,” an acronym suggesting “Trump always chickens out” under tariff threats.

Generative AI slop is bad, no matter what.
Who the fuck wants this punishment
Sometimes I feel like the people who say ai is always bad for everything, no matter what, kinda remind me of horse buggy salesmen putting down automobiles at the turn of the century. There are many instances in which ai would actually be a benefit, and many jobs are pretty much obsolete and ai is gonna give them that last push to die. Those jobs were always gonna go. You can’t stop the future.
Artists and other jobs people worry ai will steal are safe, so long as you’re good enough to be better than shitty ai artists, you shouldn’t worry. If ai is funnier and better than you, that’s kinda on you.
Most companies are realizing ai can’t match a human employee for quality. If ai can obsolete you, you were likely on your way out
That said an artist was acccused of using AI but wasn’t https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/art-subreddit-illustrator-ai-art-controversy
and if AI was good enough to replace artists we’d have AI rotoscoping. Still hasn’t managed this one job that should be able to be done by AI and they’ve been trying to for decades.
no artist wants to rotoscope. Not even AI wants to.
What poor artist should have to live through doing such a cruel job of drawing Donald’s face. Have some humanity.
I wouldn’t blame artists for wanting to avoid drawing Trump, he looks like he is mid way through melting Raiders of the Lost Ark style.
How, and why, are people takin this dumb twat seriously?
Because he’s the president of the United States. And he is hurting slot of people and can hurt s lot more.
Because the smart people with prospects didn’t need to leave Europe.
I don’t understand what you’re saying.
Are you suggesting that some Americans take Donald Trump seriously because their ancestors who came from Europe (big assumption there already) were the ones who didn’t have job prospects there?
Just want to make sure I understood your point correctly…
I’m suggesting we didn’t send our best.
Years of lead paint exposure.
Because apparently 77million other dumb twats give or take, plus a few million other dumb twat sitouts seated him in the most powerful office in the world. Like it or not, he’s affecting your life.
And the total lack of critical thought on the part of those that voted for him, I suppose.
I’ve never wanted street tacos less. They’re so good. I don’t think I want that cheap of meat in my taco, though.

This I what AI should be used for and nothing else, and making Vance memes, and musk memes, and Putin memes, and…
Narcissists cannot stand being made a mockery of. This is the way to get under his skin. He will rage and rage over this, tweeting at 4 in the morning for as long as we keep this up lol
Call him a pedo, a rapist, a felon, and you get nothing.
Call him a chicken and he loses his one braincell.
Great job everyone. We sure showed trump. /$

Why is the word “trade” in the headline?
new term, “TACO trade,” an acronym
And what is it doing here?
If I’m not mistaken, the origin of the phrase was wallstreet traders who used it to refer to the trades that happened when trump rolled back tariffs (or paused them, again).
Thus, TACO trade.
Let’s make America TACO again !
I mean, that really wasn’t a “meltdown” but sure.
The word does seem overused. Any time he raises his voice or writes in all caps it’s a “meltdown”
Lemmy poster VICIOUSLY ACCUSES poster of BLASTING THEIR VOICE in a SCORCHING comment!
I love that we found a nickname that gets under his skin, but I just hope he doesn’t retaliate by targeting Mexicans specifically. Because tacos are a Mexican food and that’s all the connection he needs
The beauty of a smooth brain
Because he’s not already targeting Mexicans??
Targeting them more
My favorite part:
“[China was] doing no business whatsoever, and they were having a lot of problems,” Trump declared.
How daft can one be?
Millions of Americans bought it.
Think of how absolutely stupid the average person is, with average intelligence. Likely, they can barely read at a high school level in most cases and can barely make good decisions about, well, anything, especially things outside their limited area of expertise/influence.
Now, we need to realize that half the people in the US are dumber than that.
More than half of Americans read at a middle school grade level or lower. Around a half of those are at a elementary school level.
Just over 10% read at a level 11th grade or higher level. Which is shocking given that over half of Americans have some level of college education. Americans are educated but not well educate.
It’s common to blame the education system but given how wide spread the problem it is far more likely it is a cultural failure and most Americans lack the qualifications to evaluate this issue (or any issue) but flap their jaws about it anyway.
I don’t think it’s cultural. I think it’s republicans repeatedly targeting education for decades. I mean have you ever been in a teachers’ subreddit or community? Modern American education is a fucking dumpster fire.
Remember Trump’s “I love the uneducated”? It’s not because he’s friendly, it’s because they’re more manipulable.
Americans are educated but not well educate.
I see your point.
I have a job working with the public and I know I’m thick as shit but some people I serve I truly do wonder how some of them even tie their shoes in the morning.
Same same. They walk out the door and I honestly wonder if they will make it home.
Yup, it’s truly horrifying some days.
That’s “Ghina.”
