As we all watch the fiasco of what happens when Fake President meets Real Crisis, a lot of us are running out of things to call the Twitter Twit. Sure, a lot of newer words like 'fucktard' might be more worthy than he is, but those really belong to the kids, don't they? What about us oldsters trapped in his clown horror show?
After all, you may have noticed that pretty much the only time i use his name is when referring to the Trump Flu. This isn't a "he who must not be named" kind of situation. It's most definitely a "it isn't worthy of a name" and is way too in love with it. Trump Flu is the one place he's earned his name, so i say let's let him have that one.
That leaves us wondering how to refer to the critter*?
Might i offer a few classic suggestions?
FLIBBERTIGIBBET
A person who is regarded as silly, flighty, irresponsible. Especially one prone to excessive talking.
BRUMMAGEM
Something cheap and showy; especially used referring to cheap, gaudy jewelry.
SNOLLYGOSTER
Someone self-serving, especially a politician, whose actions are motivated by self-interest rather than higher principles.
Well, i suppose we should have some imagery in here, should we not?
Let's see...
How about a little tale i'd call "Mistakes Were Made" -
Apologies to Rowley, Prodes, and Quatermouse.
Now, if you'll pardon me, i'm off to indulge in a bit of my usual gadzookery* in other arenas...
