When Donald J. Trump was elected to the office of…jeez, I still have a hard time typing it – president, I vowed to never use his name publicly so as to not help raise his name identity on social media or to acknowledge that he was legitimately elected to the office.  I have maintained that stance until today.

But facts and media have changed. Since January 20, social, mainstream, and cable media have made a marked shift in the way they report on Trump.  Before the inauguration, the media glibly repeated virtually every claim made by him, cowed by his vicious twitter attacks and afraid of WH recriminations.  They gave him billions of dollars of free media coverage that helped elect him.  That has now changed.  The Washington Post is now tracking his lies on a daily basis.  Scott Pelley of CBS is becoming well known for his steadfast truth telling and calling false false.  Last night, 60 Minutes did a cover story on fake news and the damage it does.  Time Magazine’s cover story this week asks if truth is dead. Numerous fact checkers are piling up mountains of corrections to Trump’s continuous stream of lies.  NPR has stopped using the name Mara Lago, wanting to avoid inadvertent advertising for his highest profile property.  Hell, even Fox Noise has moderated some  of its lies because he simply repeats them on twitter.

Trump’s name is now more associated with negative than positive, so I’ve decided to use it – a lot.  So, for those of you who have openly and privately complained to me about using the monikers SCROTUS, Cheeto Jesus, The Orange One, and His Orangeness, you can now stop complaining.  But just know that I’m not switching due to your complaints; I’m switching because using his name is more effective to connect it to the damage he’s doing to our society.  From now on, it will be TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP.

So there.
