Trump's nickname.

He is the worst in killing the most innocent people by sheer self absorption and negligence... for no logical reason.

I think a case could be made for several presidents along those lines. Bay of Pigs comes to mind, for example, but this isn't really the thread to hash it out.

This is more the thread for you to brainstorm what clever nickname most effectively sells the "Trump is the worst president" concept.

Bay of Pigs? Seriously? This is beneath you. Saying that mistake was the result of self absorption is a bit of a reach.

Hmm... Good point. Maybe it'll stick better with a good nickname. How about... BAY F K?

Get it? Bay of Pigs? JFK? I think I'm onto something, here.

Anyway, back to Trump. What about "Lump"? It's even got a theme song.

He's bad, but worst? Lincoln was more divisive and deadly. Harding was more corrupt.

Team Harding may hold the record right now, but the ball is still in play. POTUS’s bank records, business records, and tax returns may reveal critical information. That is, if Congress gets to see them.

Speaking of which, President Trump’s lawyers are arguing that sitting presidents may not be investigated by Congress, state’s attorneys, district attorneys, or anyone in the United States. That’s a bit of a strange argument for someone who has not engaged in corrupt or illegal practices. Obviously not proof of any wrongdoing. Still, it would be nice to serve some subpoenas.

But it's all about the principle. Nothing to do with hiding damaging info. Right?

Right?

Seems more applicable to Governor Cuomo, at the moment, but you've got until November to try to switch around to OMB.

Anyway, what about "Covidfefe"?

I think it's a hat trick: There's hints of "jefe" in there, a nod to his office. It connotes criticism of his pandemic management policies. And it calls back to his "covfefe" tweet.

I honestly think this one could have some legs.
 
“A terrific fool - a perfect fool.“

“An unpresidented idiot.“

Might wanna wait till he's actually un-presidented, for that one.

Can a person be un-presidented? After leaving office, they still retain the title. Does there exist any formal or informal process to strip them of the title? Wouldn't that be tantamount to erasing history?

Or is this more of a "Josiah Bartlett is my forever president" nickname, than a "ding dong the witch is dead" nickname?

Trump once used the word unpresidented when he meant unprecedented.

The Bay of Pigs was actually planned by the Eisenhower administration. That said, Kennedy gave it the go ahead. A perfect example of a politician getting caught up in his own rhetoric. Nixon and JFK competed throughout the 1960 campaign to see who could be more anti-communist.

The timing was perfect for that kind of stupidity. The one thing I do like about JFK is that he admitted his mistakes. But I do think he was a bit like Eisenhower on civil rights. They were both more talk than action. Well that's not true. Ike hardly said a word about it.

"Covidfefe" is starting to grow on me. If y'all don't pick it up, I may start using it myself.

ETA: What about "Ike's Tyke", for JFK? Since he took Ike's Bay of Pigs plan and ran with it (up to a point).
