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.
I always liked those names, expecially Cheeto Jesus and SCROTUS.
1Got this one from a friend in New Zealand who says she and her friends agree that they won’t be visiting the United States…”throttlebottom”: noun – an inept and futile person in public office.
I rather liked it for President Throttlebottom. However, I agree with you fully. He needs to own everything he does.
2A fb friend suggested that he always be referred to as Republican president Trump so he is always identified with the Rs.
3Regarding the media coverage (finally!) of Trump in a negative light–it’s all too little, too late, considering that they knew before the election what they know now–that Trump lies with at least every other breath he takes–but saw it as a joke, since Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in. The media, collectively, has about as much credibility as Trump does, since they ignored the obvious for so long, while breathlessly reporting on every imagined fault, mis-step, and factual error committed by Clinton. They have a lot of catching up to do.
4Have to watch my blood pressure. Notice how i have been using CJ pretty all along? Well, I have another one: POTUS 45. T
5That Other Jean, precisely. The sudden ‘awakening’ of the media is startlingly unimpressive. Somewhat along the lines of a fire department showing up months after the house burned to the ground.
El Jefe, call the dumpster fire and their brand what you will. I’m not ready to say the “P” word yet. Pee maybe. But I have moved Donnie up the kingly trail to the sobriquet of Monarch to the Morons.
6That Other Jean, I agree. Much too little attention was paid to his lies before the election. Every nightly news broadcast and newspaper should have featured a version of Al Franken’s earlier book title– “Today’s Lies and the Lying Liar Who Told Them.”
But no. It was all just like the SNL debate skit about Trump kissing Putin and the KKK guy while the moderator kept insisting they discuss Clinton’s damn emails.
7How long will I have to hold my breath before the main stream media screams that Trump is a genuine sociopath?
8For Lent, I’ve given up “being rude about Trump”. And that pretty much confines me to “Trump” minus any colorful descriptors. Never used “President” even before Lent because . . . Well to say why would be rude, albeit accurate.
9I have slipped a few times. Sigh! This has been harder than the year I gave up chocolate!
Traitor Trump has a nice true ring to it’
10austinhatlady, you can still tell the truth about Trump. It’s just going to sound rude.
If I tried to give up “being rude about Trump,” I think I’d swell up nearly to bursting point before dashing out to scream into the compost heap. Possibly on an hourly basis.
11Bud Malone, the MSM is probably bewildered by the DSM-5 as to which diagnosis doesn’t apply to Donnie.
Rhea, please back away from the manure pile. It’s no place to be when in the mood for a primal scream. Perhaps a moonlight stroll?
12Nope, just cannot use his name. For me he’s gonna remain 45.
13Since the tax-cut/no-care law failed so miserably, I had thought about doing the same. But I’m loath to do so — because I had just finally, FINALLY hit upon a name that is, imo, fitting: Tweety.
So, still debating over here as to what I’m agonna call him. Still waiting to see what happens next.
14I think Crone’s suggestion is brilliant, and I plan to adapt it to others: Republican governor Abbott, the Republican Texas legislature, the Republican House of Representatives (except, of course, when they do the *right* thing, like reject a terrible health care plan), etc. I don’t think the press’s tradition of sticking “R-wherever” after their names is getting the point across.
15And don’t forget RepubliCare for stealing health care from 24 million people.
16Rasty, I’ve been calling it traitor trump since Nov. so glad you agree. However for variance, I still like the Scotts’ versions: cockwomble. There are a couple of others but Momma would not approve. I use them on other comments Momma isn’t likely to read. Just keep pounding in the truth. Cockwomble will always try to divert attention to someone else for his lies. A device used quite effectively by Putin and his KGB.
