I can see why you mock theprestige, but, you see Trump really is "a thin skinned narcissist" and genuinely does seem to be affected by being called names.

Far be it from me to try to normalize political behavior, but "actively harming the country" has been the out-faction's refrain since before presidenting was even a gleam in a political philosopher's eye. Hell, I'm pretty sure I've said as much about Obama and Bush both (for starters).
Let's just agree that ORANGE MAN BAD, and leave it at that. |

I'm participating in the thread. It's big enough for all of us.
But seriously. "Orange Man Bad." You've never thought about walking out into the woods, and just shouting it to the silent trees? You've never considered locking yourself in your room and screaming "orange man bad" into your pillow? You should. I think you'd find it very refreshing, to get that out there. |

For however long this thread has been going, I'm still partial to "Benedict Donald" and "Don the Con".

Also exists

Nothing remotely "harmless" about Trump. Giving this guy the keys to the world's first or second biggest economy and the world's most powerful military is like giving a toddler the keys to a Ferrari. It's not a question if he's going to wreck it, but how quickly and the amount of damage he causes.

Of course, the difference that cannot be ignored by objective observers is that during President Obama’s tenure, neither the sitting nor retiring Democratic Congressfolk ever publicly questioned the president's loyalties. DJT cannot make the same claim about himself and the Republican Party.
But, as you implied, it is difficult to get very many President Trump supporters to see how critical that is. |

I've settled on Doomsday Donald.
Because when the end comes, someone very much like Trump will be the cause of it. |

He's been fighting windmills for years:
Donald Trump Loses Fight against Windmills (Vanity Fair, Dec. 16, 2015) Donald Trump Tilting at Windmills: Long fight, explained (Newsweek, July 3, 2017) And now he's at it again so it seems appropriate when they call him Donald Quixote:
