Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They can't call trump out specifically, but they can really imply it cleverly to give themselves plausible deniability:
Taco Bell presents the Taco47:

Cost is 75 cents each, which you'd expect to be a bargain, but we've decided you've been taking advantage of us for years so there is a 150% tariff we've placed on it resulting in a $1.87 price before other taxes.
This is the end of my joke, but I have to share this part. I went looking for a picture to include in this post and found one on NPRs website from 2012 when the Doritos Loco taco first came out (Wait Wait Don't Tell Me show). They were commenting on it and I'm laughing hard at some of these comments:

Doesn't work. Sorry.
Trump is team (diet) Coke, and Taco Bell is owned by Yum Brands, which is owned by Pepsi.
Now if it came with its "own" Diet Trump Cola, maybe. The cup could have a depiction of Don Taco thin/muscular, you know, how he sees himself in a mirror
I knew about the Pepsi relationship, but the forced Diet Coke just adds to the absurdity and just had to be included in the joke.
But a failed shitty product is right in line with Trump about as far back as it goes.
