The Name Game: Scum and Dumber

 


So now Mr. Trump has delighted in his new name for Governor Gavin Newsome, as Governor Newscum. Get it? New--Scum. As in "scum of the earth"?

Oh, the playground outside the grade school classroom must be just in stiches!



It may not be quite "Little Marco," or "Crooked Hillary" or "Pocahontas" Warren, but it's pretty good, right?



So, thinking about it, Mad Dog thought we need to collect a quiver of arrows to sling back: 

Donald Dump

The Dumpling

President Gump

President Donald Lump

Donald Rump

The President Sump Pump Trump

Which is just a quick run through the alphabet.



The trouble is, nobody can work up quite the delight the Trumpling can when it comes to using scurrilous nicknames because, you know, it's so puerile and inane. But for Mr. Trump, it's just so much fun and he uses one of  these epithets and sits up grinning as if he's just demolished Winston ("Winnie the Pooh") Churchill in a debate about democracy.



Because he is incapable of understanding when he's lost an argument based on logic, evidence and presentation, he thinks he's won when he burps up a hopefully demeaning ad hominem. 

But his fan base agrees with him and they're having fun, so what could possibly go wrong?
