I-I-I-I-I dunno. He _is_ a fool, of course, but I can’t imagine anybody wasting any pity on him…

You’re right about the fact that it would be more effective for the left to settle on one name and use it consistently.

But of course that would be very unlike the left. We tend to value individuality. Or maybe inefficacy (not the goal but too often the result).

Toxic Trump is a good one: three syllables and evokes a real phenomenon (toxic dump).

Similarly, Dolt45 (four syllables but visually short) and SCROTUS (two, and evokes a body part not known for its photogenic properties) are good contenders. I like one not mentioned yet (I think), Putin’s Poodle: four syllables, and kind-of rhymes.

But it’ll never happen. The left won’t act in concert.

Saw this one somewhere the other day:

Lord Feltersnatch

Not too crazy about the ‘Lord’ part, since that’s likely all he’d see, and be puffed up about it into the bargain.

No. He may be THE president, but he’s not MY president.

I’ve been seeing references to him with an asterisk next to “president.”  
It’s been growing on me.
