Demagogue and con man Donald "Not Exonerated" Trump is infamous for his childish nicknames of others, which are too many to list. Former Nixon official John Dean has had enough of the one-way street and suggests it's time to try out a few nicknames on Trump:
Haven’t we been too long in not giving Trump a meaningful moniker? Should it be: George’s “Deranged Don”? “Demeaning Don”? “Deadbeat Don”? “Demagogue Don”? Thoughts please? Comments? We’ve got to give this jerk some of his own treatment. And soon!— John Dean (@JohnWDean) May 11, 2019
OK, that's a start, and readers of this blog know we're not above applying nicknames to hacks and the despicable among us. Some obvious ones, in addition to the ones we've used before, are the alliterative Dirty Don, Diaper Don and Debtor Don. Don The Con and Spanky are good, too. One nickname that's trending is Brokeahontas, which is our current favorite.
Dem Presidential candidates may want to hold off on nicknames for him, lest they be accused of stooping to his level. But for the rest of us, stoop on!

I've been calling him "Hair Furor Agolf Twitler" when I have space. It's something of a collaborative work. "Twitler" is from Nonnie9999 at Hysterical Raisins, and I've seen variants on "Hair Furor" in several places, notably Mock Paper Scissors. "Agolf" is original with me, as far as I know.
Shower Cap has come up with some good ones, like "the Marmalade Shartcannon".
Infidel -- Well done. "Agolf" is new to us, and in combination with the rest, is perfect. There's so much to mock and despise in him.
I've been using tRumpsky for quite some time. Perhaps not all that original, but it tells the tale, would you not agree?
Of course with a bit of time and imagination, I'm sure many of us could come up with some dandies!
I've been calling him "The Trumpster" in my blog for a while. I like it because:
a) It's short and easy to pick up
b) Not easy to accidentally misspell, although autocorrect does its best. (Try it and see.)
c) Sounds like a comic book supervillianvillain out of Batman, which helps to emasculate Mr. Big Little Hands
c) Leaves overtones of "fraudster" and the French word "trompeur," both of which pretty much mean the same thing
d) Could not be mistaken for any other supervillian
Yours crankily,
The New York Crank
Nan -- nice combination of the emphasized "rump" and the Russian surname!
Crank -- also has overtones of "dumpster", to which his regime has often been compared, especially one on fire!
While I love "brokeahontas", I also kind of like brokeahoncho and brokeaholic. Mob nicknames seem fitting too, like Donny "two scoops" or Donnie "double dip". Dirty Don might be similar to what he did to HRC. In honor of his personal Viet Nam one might call him "di di mau" Don (I'm sure the ladies of his life have all wished he'd just hurry up and get lost)
Constance -- actually, brokeahoncho or brokeaholic work well,and avoid any connotation of racial insensitivity with brokeahontas. Thanks!
This is not alliterative, but I often refer to him on my blog, to the ire of the rabid rightie trolls, as President Porn Star Shagger.
I have been using either "demented donnie"
or when it involves anything physical, like wlking, "doddering don"
Shaw -- truth in labeling!
Anon -- extra points for accuracy and alliteration!
Kara Swisher coined Trumplethinskin a while back. Always liked it.
Anon - we've seen that too! It's a good one!
Cadet Bone Spurs. El Caudillo de Mar-a-Lago. Incestuous Don (for wanting to bang his daughter).
Con All Trump
Comrade and Anon -- all hit the mark!
Whoever came up with "Benedict Donald" is a hero.
My contribution: Metamucilini.
Buttermilk -- oh, yes, those are good!
