Tacos, Tariffs, and Treasury: Understanding Trump's Economic Strategy

Update: 2025-06-04

Description

In this episode of The Difference, hosts Dan O'Donnell and Dave Spano, CEO of Annex Wealth Management discuss the "TACOS" acronym (Trump Always Chickens Out), coined by critics like the Financial Times. They analyze Trump's tariff strategies, particularly the delayed TikTok ban and trade negotiations with countries like China, the UK, and Switzerland, framing these as leverage for freer trade rather than economic punishment. Dan and Dave discuss what Trump's policies may mean for the economy.
