A lot of people like to water skiing and snow skiing. Some like neither. I like both. Which do you enjoy best? I like water skiing a bit more.

Trump was just asked about the ‘TACO trade’ for the first time. He called it the ‘nastiest question’

By Elisabeth Buchwald, CNN

Wall Street has been riding a historic roller coaster the past few months due to President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff threats. Now, investors are learning to take his words with a grain of salt — and a bit of salsa, too.

That’s because there’s a new type of trade taking hold: TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out. In other words, don’t fret too much about Trump’s latest tariff threat and go on a selling spree, because eventually he’ll back down and a relief rally will ensue.

Trump said he first learned of the term, coined by Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong, on Wednesday when a reporter sought his reaction to it.

“I chicken out? Oh, I’ve never heard that. You mean because I reduced China from 145% that I set down to 100 and then to another number?” Trump said Wednesday, referring to tariff rates he imposed on imported Chinese goods. (The rate is now 30%, after Trump raised it as high as 145% last month, much to investors’ dismay, only to reduce it a few weeks later.)

Last week, Trump threatened to impose 50% tariffs on goods from the European Union come June 1. Stocks turned lower after his threat, which he doubled down on later in the day, claiming there was no room to negotiate. Two days later, he said he’d wait until July 9 to levy a 50% tariff on EU goods following promising talks.

“You call that chickening out?” Trump responded to a reporter at an Oval Office event Wednesday, referring to his recent announcements on EU and Chinese tariff rates.

“It’s called negotiation,” Trump added, saying that part of his tactic can include setting “a ridiculous high number” for tariff rates and going down if he gets other nations to give in to his demands.

“Don’t ever say what you said,” Trump told the reporter, calling it “the nastiest question.”

I'm not. I hate people. They're needy, fake, attention seeking, insecure, co dependent and believe their problems are your problems.

If you had to choose just one to be which would you choose?

I think I would choose being street smart. I am book smart but I hate it because it doesn't allow me to be as successful as I could be with being street smart. I've only been able to get so far with an education but if I tapped more into my street smarts at a young age, I would probably be more further in life.

One thing I can say is that I've learned a lot more in these past 11 years after college than I did the 4 years I was in college. Being in the real world has taught me that being street smart is far more important in the long run than an educational background. The only thing education gets you is maybe your foot in the door with certain jobs but with most you still have to ace the interview and a lot of times know the right people to get in all the way.

Being well-read, well cultured and well-educated or being well experienced in life or a combination of these things.

So basically asking does intelligence come more from education or being street smart or both.

I think it’s so healthy and filling. It doesn’t hurt that it’s so versatile and delicious.

Cod is a cold salt water fish common in North Atlantic and Pacific. Weight of Atlantic cod goes up to 100kg. This fish has white soft meat without smallest amount of fish taste when it's fresh. It's in Europe very popular fish in national cuisines.

Which cod dish would you choose?

Next week I saw in the news that it may be going up to 30 degrees…. I addressed it to my mom and all she kept saying was “ok”.
She knows the heat makes me sick and that I work early mornings as well. She was getting mad when I was asking her about the air and she said that I “interrogate” her anytime I come home- which isn’t true. I’m allowed to speak up if it’s something health related and I only asked her once about it. She’s the one that only says “ok”. she also doesn’t pay attention when groceries are needed at home and she’s always on her phone.
She always makes a big deal when the window is open as well and claims she’s cold but the house is never cold. It’s always “warm” or room temperature.
She then proceeded to say that I should go stay with my boyfriend until she puts it on if I don’t like it.

what should I do about Thai situation? Isn’t she being unreasonable?

Or are you going to only survive on fruits now?

I love to cut my fruits to make a salad before I eat.
