As a big Project, our Teacher Mrs. Martin told us to write about anything we wanted and she said write a good paper. So, I wrote how adults act like us Kids. We kids change the names of other kids because I guess we want someone to like us more or we’re scared of them. But I’ve been seeing TV and our President does this silly child act of naming people by other names. I guess that makes him feel Proud or is he scared of them?
Donald Trump is known for his use of nicknames and insults, particularly during his campaigns and presidency. Here’s a list of some notable examples where he coined nicknames or used unflattering terms for various individuals:
- Crooked Hillary – Referring to Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign.
- Sleepy Joe – A nickname for Joe Biden, often used in his speeches and tweets.
- Little Marco – Directed at Marco Rubio during the 2016 primaries.
- Lyin’ Ted – A nickname for Ted Cruz, also from the 2016 campaign.
- Pocahontas – Used to refer to Elizabeth Warren, in relation to her claims of Native American ancestry.
- Rocket Man – A nickname for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
- These guys – Referring to members of the media or opponents in a general sense, often with a dismissive tone.
- Crazy Bernie – Referring to Bernie Sanders during the 2020 presidential campaign.
- The Squad – Referring to a group of progressive Democratic congresswomen, often used in a derogatory context.
- Nancy Antoinette – A nickname for Nancy Pelosi, implying that she is out of touch with everyday Americans.
Trump’s use of such names has often been criticized as un-presidential or disrespectful, but it’s wholly kid like, he has maintained that they are an effective way to connect with his base and convey his message. Is he saying his Base are Kids like me? Maybe my next paper will be about how un-presidential President Trump is…below is 78 times he used his nicknaming skills on 78 different folks for his Base.
