Trump Should Double Down on His Botched Jon Ossoff Nickname

Everyone knows that Donald Trump’s nickname game is total trash now. (See: Mitch “Broken Old Crow” McConnell and Letitia “Peekaboo” James.) Theoretically, this shouldn’t bother me, as I’m pretty sure I’m one of the people he’d dubbed “the enemy of the people.” And he never takes my advice when he’s workshopping insults, which is why he spent the 2024 GOP primary attacking “Ron DeSanctimonious” instead of “Meatball Ron.”

Nevertheless, as a connoisseur of idiotic Trumpian nicknames, I feel compelled to point out that he’s passing up a good opportunity to make his failed attempts to insult Senator Jon Ossoff slightly less embarrassing.
