Trump, who's always loved dishing out nicknames, now has one of his own.

"They're calling him TACO, which is an acronym for 'Trump Always Chickens Out'," explains Jimmy Kimmel in the clip above from his Thursday monologue. "And you're not going to believe this, but he doesn't like the nickname at all."

Unsurprisingly, Kimmel has little sympathy for the president.

"How does it feel to be on the other end of the nickname game? Not great, does it? The only thing that would make it worse is if somebody changed the lyrics to a song by his beloved Village People to drive it home."

Cue a version of the band's hit "Macho Man" with the lyrics changed to – you guessed it – "TACO Man".
