Trump always comes up with nicknames for people he despises. I have to admit that "Crooked Hillary" stuck with me to the point I heard it subconsciously every time I heard her name. I didn't want to, but there it was. It just seemed to flow. Lyin' Ted Cruz is another.
I know many use a moniker that describes Donald Trump, but too many are unacceptable on a campaign trail. "The Tangerine Disaster" may be apt, but it's just too awkward and "Don The Con" just doesn't ring any bells when oft repeated. Forget the more profane handles because the media would bleep it, rendering it useless.
I propose the Biden campaign adopt the name "Dishonest Don" any time they reference the president, and I mean every time. Pound that name home with infinite application. Over and over. Forget he even has a last name since that's his stock in trade anyway. He loves that people know him by Trump. To him it's money in the bank.
Everyone will know exactly who "Dishonest Don" is and it just flows from the tongue. Let's give "Pocahontas" a way to get even without blushing.

(901 posts)See a lot of names but you are right they don"t stick. I think dems just don't want to name call. The press and media always makes a big deal out of his nicknames and helps them stick. Maybe if Biden came up with something the press couldn't ignore it would get traction. I like deplorable don too.

The point was that so many nicknames are apt, but too crude for public consumption. "Lard Bottom" would just turn people off.

(3,505 posts)I predict that, in the very near future, the word 'Trump' will be used to describe any populist political leader who blatantly appeals to the racist elements of a society.

(2,025 posts)...ever since the 2016 campaign when Michelangelo Signorelli did an episode of his Sirius satellite radio show about his habit of not paying contractors and caterers and others who do work for him at his casinos and hotels. When the contractors and caterers and others complained, he just dared them to sue him. Who has the resources to get into a legal battle with a rich guy like him? So one of the ways Deadbeat Donald got rich was by stealing from people who did work for him and never got paid for it. Just one of the many ways he's a liar, a cheat, a con man, a grifter.

(14,565 posts)His sister handed it to us via the anecdote. It's got to be something that Trump associates with himself, and in humiliating fashion, and not merely something labeled from afar. He won't care about anything from afar.
Plus it's got a dual meaning because golf fans have been screaming "mashed potatoes" after PGA tee shots for more than a decade. Little did they know they were referring to Trump. There are clips of that on YouTube. If that nickname sticks then from November forth any Trump hater can scream mashed potatoes on the tee box, in absolute delight.
The last thing we want is alliteration. Notice that Trump's nicknames are not alliteration. I wish alliteration were banned from nickname thought process. Even Biden's "Build Back Better" is not nearly as effective as it should be, if we merely understood there are thousands of words that word splendidly in combination, regardless if they sound alike.
