    He negotiated with himself, and still got a bad deal.

      His biggest recent mistake is letting people know that he hates that. Because now I’m going to think of him as Taco Boy

        But he’s not a man,
        He’s a Chicken Boo

    Negotiation, like extra salsa for free?

    Now hear me out, just a daydream but it would be hilarious if taco trucks joined his birthday parade.

    I feel like saying they’re just bargaining positions makes them even weaker.

    All the rest of us (non us countries) have to do is keep saying no abd we will all get better “deals”.

    Right… I guess I just “negotiated” with that high dive when I was a little kid as I climbed back down crying like a little baby.

    I’m torn. I love tacos. They’re one of the best foods out there. Now they’re associated with Trump, albeit in a negative way, but I will still think of that cancerous shit stain every time I eat a taco, and that’s sad.
