I am all for nasty nicknames, the more the better. He is so thin skinned and unprepared for the office.

"shit stain" and do so when chatting with people I know who supported him. The other appellations are reserved for polite society.

I have read that he prefers to be called "Mr. Trump". That name, along with "President or Mr. President" will never be an option for me.

Small-p and quotes on the "president." Small-t trump.

Quotes around "election" as well, when referring to the clusterfuck we just went through.
