You may know former GOP consultant Rick Wilson form his appearances on MSNBC, and from this incident: Morning Joe forced to bleep out Rick Wilson when he calls GOP ‘chickensh*ts’ who secretly hate ‘assh*le’ Trump.
To put it mildly Wilson has an unfiltered way with words when it comes to describing Trump and Republicans.
He’s come up with an excellent name worth promoting: Kim Jung Don.
It is in the heading for his article in Daily Beast where you have to pay if you want to read beyond the two paragraph tease. Thankfully Tom Bognioni summaried the rest of the article in RawStory here: Trump’s collapsing presidency has plunged him into his ‘eccentric dictator’ phase: GOP consultant. It is worth reading.
This is what you can read if you don’t subscribe to The Daily Beast:
As we enter Day Six of Sharpiegate, it’s tempting to dismiss it as just another week of our shitty, Trumpian New Normal. “Alabama would have been washed into the sea without my psychic intervention! CNN is evil! Fox is full of apostates! Debra Messing bad! Wall good!”
Sure, that bellowing you hear from the Oval Office may sound like the rantings of a kooky slowcoach accidental president of limited cognitive abilities. You could ascribe it to his obsessions and twitching, reflexive rages over even the slightest correction or disagreement as an act. We could blame it all on whatever slurry of toupee worms, mental illness, creeping dementia, tertiary syphilis, scurvy, and windmill cancer occupies his wee noggin, but it’s so much more, and it’s so much worse.
Trump who has nasty nicknames for everyone on his enemies list (here’s the 2018 top-10) doesn’t have any that really stuck to him, at least not the way Moscow Mitch has with McConnell.
The best nicknames have a ring to them because they are euphonious or are alterations or both.
The Action Network has a contest (right). This is the result so far:
Cadet Bone Spurs is in the lead. Don the Con is in second. Mrs. Putin is third. And Traitor Trump is fourth.
I think Kim Jung Don is good and worth using because Trump admires Kim and has gushed over their relationship. In addition Trump’s comments about him make the news when they are crazy lies like recently when he lied about how Melania met him. Of course he fancies himself a dictator and wishes he had the power Kim does.
Not only this, everything Kim does something like launching a few rockets, we can use the term to mock the eminently mockable president.
For example Kim Jung Un and his doppelgänger Kim Jung Don were in the news several times over the past week:
Now I am going to make a tweet about this…
The poll (copy below — offline now) made no sense since instead of putting Kim Jung Don or it, I put Kim Jung Un. Still I doubt anyone would have picked that as their first choice. I wouldn’t. I’d say Don the Con is the best so far, though in any context having to do with the military Cadet Bone Spurs is better.
