Trump, 79, Has Baffling Plan to Rename the Republican Party After Himself

https://www.thedailybeast.com/tepublican-or-tpublican-trump-79-has-baffling-plan-to-rename-the-republican-party-after-himself/

Donald Trump has come up with a new nickname for the Republican Party.

He wants to name it after himself.

“There is a new word for a TRUMP REPUBLICAN,” the 79-year-old boldly declared on Truth Social media Wednesday, before asking his followers what exactly the word ought to be.

Scorning the low-hanging fruit of ‘Trumpublican,’ a suggestion so obvious even his son Don Jr. thought of it, the president mused: “It is, TEPUBLICAN??? Or, TPUBLICAN???”.....

Trump’s further assertion that “almost everyone” is a “TRUMP REPUBLICAN” comes as his nationwide approval rating hovers at about 38 percent, and as the embattled president struggles to retain full control of his party amid a confluence of simultaneous scandals and crises.

Concern has also continued to mount over the state of Trump’s cognitive health amid frequent memory lapses, difficulty articulating his thoughts and sudden bursts of aggression some experts say could represent the early stages of dementia.

for somebody else. Sorta like what happened when Florida had a butterfly ballot in 2000 -- and people got confused.

Go for it, Dozy Don! (With thanks to Gov. Newsome.)

And are much more intimate with it.

The posterior bronzer reduces the contrast between his pasty white skin and the shitstains.

So no one ever forgets what a fuckup this clown is
and what cowards republicans are for propping him up.

And if they are seeking an appropriate name,
may I suggest ‘Treasonian’.

In his latest attempt to make up words he tried to find a new word to describe a word for Republicans who are loyal to him and him alone.

He asked this question on his Lying Social page, “It is, TEPUBLICAN??? Or, TPUBLICAN???”

His supporters rushed to answer, "Trumplicans."

So that is what it shall be.

Hoping he and his Trumplicans enjoy their new name.

When the midterm arrives, the Trumplicans will be gone and his days as a King will be over.

Forcing a whole new chapter in the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.”

So severe a diagnosis that IT SHOULD be named after him.

The Trump House (formerly the White House)
Trump National Airport (formerly Washington National Airport, with Reagan’s name stuck in there for a few years in between).

The Trump Department (formerly The Treasury Department).

21 Trump Street—a series about an exclusive assisted living facility for twenty-one well-off seniors in various stages of dementia, all of whom are convinced they are the only one there.

The Trump Seasons: Sprump, Strumper, Strumptumn and Wintrump.

The 14th Trump Bridge (fastest land escape route from DC)—the location of the thirteen others are over rivers in Nambia.

The Trumpmobile (so heavily armored that no ideas can penetrate it), only three wheels of which have tires, so it makes a lot of noise, and wrecks streets wherever it goes.

The Library of Trump, which has no books, but all different paper wrappings of McDonald’s burgers since the beginning of the franchise.

Chain Bridge, which connects DC to McLean, in northern Virginia, which will be renamed the One No Trump Bridge, as Trump has never crossed it.

Trump—an oldies rock song by the former group “Man Failin’.”

This is the kind of thing you get when you mix malignant narcissism with late stage dementia. I am not sure why they're so confused, although I give them credit for recognizing his rampant cognitive decline. Glad they're finally noticing.
