CNN was brought to a halt for some urgent breaking news about US president Donald Trump – and it marked his “remarkable failure”. Data analyst Harry Enten was on hand to provide some bombshell statistics alongside anchor Kate Bolduan – admitting he “knows what losing feels like” in a huge blow to the world leader. Viewers on X branded the moment a "must watch", with one account tweeting: "BREAKING: CNN’s Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten just broke down why Donald Trump’s presidency has been a remarkable failure to this point. This is a must watch."

Harry kicked things off with an update on how Trump is doing in his attempt to push his agenda through the US courts system. With the “big beautiful bill” mentioned in his campaign promise, things aren’t going well for Trump as Enten explained: “You know, Kate, I’m a Buffalo Bill stan so I know what losing feels like, and I will tell you that the courts have halted Trump’s admin agenda a huge number of times.

“What are we talking about? We’re talking about at least 181 times that they have at least temporarily halted Trump’s agenda. That is a huge number! To give you that in percentage terms, in over 50% of the cases that are presented to courts, the Trump administration agenda has been halted at least temporarily.

“So Donald Trump tries to do these actions with the administration but the courts have been saying, ‘Hold on, wait a minute here’, and they have said that at least 181 times so far in just the first few months of this administration.”

Kate agreed: “Quite a number. On tariffs, some of the latest is this moniker that Wall Street has been throwing around, which is TACO – an acronym for Trump Always Chickens Out. You have numbers on that?”

Enten explained: “One of the things, you hear these things going on and say, ‘Is this actually entering the mainstream culture?’ We can see this right here in Google searches – the top term that was googled with Donald Trump on Thursday was ‘TACO’.

“The terms Trump and Taco googled together are up through the roof, 9,900% increase on Thursday versus Tuesday. So if you are wondering whether this Trump Always Chickens Out and the acronym TACO actually has entered the mainstream, well Google gives it away. It 100% has.

“This, to me, is quite troubling for Donald Trump because obviously he trades on his name and on the idea that he does what he says, and if all of a sudden you’re associating TACO with Donald Trump, well that is no bueno.”

Further statistics showed that 48% of people in April 2025 thought Trump was good at keeping his campaign promises, compared with a 59% score for Joe Biden at the same time in April 2021.
