look I don't really follow this stuff close enough to know if he's backing down or just negotiating, but the TACO thing is kind of a funny acronym I guess

The Independent is really reaching with that headline - since when is diplomacy "backing down"? We tried the tough guy routine and it didn't work, so maybe a different approach is worth trying.

Funny how he used to hammer Obama for this exact thing and now it's suddenly fine when he does it, but I'd need to hear what the actual deal is before I decide if this is weakness or just smart negotiating.

The headline is embarrassing clickbait and you know it, The Independent doesn't even try to hide the bias anymore.

If this is actually diplomacy rather than capitulation, they should be able to explain what we got out of it without resorting to acronyms and name-calling.
