Trump's nickname.

Agent Orange works for me on many levels: his collusion, his vanity, and the devastating effect he is having on the political culture.
 
My 2c is that I'm a big old killjoy and assigning a nickname is childish and is sinking to the level of others who do likewise for people and politicians that I respect. I always try to refer to the current US President as President Trump or Donald Trump in an attempt to avoid having his supporters bleating about how I'm not being sufficiently respectful - instead of addressing the points I'm trying to make.

I guess some indication will become apparent with the next round of polling. After the most recent debacle some evidence of a drop in Trumps support may become apparent.

For the Trumpsters, the headlines screaming "traitor" will have less impact than the ones featuring "embarrassment" in weakening that support.

The headlines screaming "traitor", for trumptards, is a thing of beauty. They're all in on hating America.
 
Another vote for Trump.

The word Trump will become a noun, describing a person arriving at a position of power by a lucky set of coincidences, totally inept at the job, totally unaware that he is inept at the job, and utterly dishonest.

I'll be respectful of Trump when he shows respect for anyone other than dictators. So far, I'm not having to bother with this respect thing much.

For me, this thread is just entertainment and blowing off steam. I would not advocate that anyone use "Trumpski" (or "Il Douche" or . . . ) in a serious discussion, whether it be some Democratic leader at a press conference or any of us in one of the other political threads, for the reasons you mention.
 
President Trump, the Slayer of the Clinton Crime Combine, the leader of the Intolerables, Maker of America Great Again, and Triggerman of the Leftists.

Fantastic thread.
