Seems, our KFC-loving president does have a meals following. As an ode to his flip-flop tariff commerce tendencies generally known as TACO (“Trump All the time Chickens Out”) — an acronym coined by Monetary Occasions in Might — a meals truck celebrating Taco Tuesday was an obvious lunchtime hit on Capitol Hill yesterday.

The Democratic Nationwide Committee (DNC) booked the truck from Pittsburgh-based Vagabond Taco, which drove right down to sling — What else? — grilled rooster on delicate corn tortillas.

Vagabond ready 200 tacos (restricted to at least one per individual), and the noon-to-2 p.m. freebie ran out one hour in, a DNC spokesperson tells Eater. Count on “extra activations for certain,” he provides, declining to say whether or not which means extra “TACO” Tuesdays.

“It’s previous time Trump realizes the financial system is severe enterprise — not a sport of rooster,” per an announcement on Monday from DNC chair Ken Martin.

Tuesday’s edible political assertion arrange store a block from the Republican Nationwide Committee’s Southeast headquarters. Vagabond Taco is a part of the Western Pennsylvania Meals Truck Alliance, in outspoken Democratic U.S. Sen. John Fetterman’s dwelling state. With a Breaking Unhealthy-branded menu, Vagabond’s truck is roofed in decals, a Heisenberg brand, and on Tuesday, a short lived banner of Trump wearing a rooster swimsuit.

The extensively publicized poultry poke at Trump, first reported by Axios, naturally drew backlash from Republicans.

“LMFAO. A taco truck? Are they going to be giving out free vasectomies once more too?” added RNC spokesperson Zach Parkinson, pointing to the DNC’s previous pro-abortion advertising marketing campaign.

On Monday, the DNC teased out the lunch with a taco emoji-led press launch mocking the newest TACO subject: “Trump as soon as once more flip-flopped on his personal unaffordable nationwide tax — lower than a day after Trump’s Commerce Secretary swore no adjustments had been coming — throwing small companies and the American financial system into chaos.”
