Colonel William A. Phillips

Donald Trump became widely known during his 2016 presidential campaign, his subsequent presidency from 2017 to 2021, and his post-presidency for using nicknames to criticize, insult, or otherwise express commentary about media figures, politicians, and foreign leaders.[1][2][3][4][5]

The list excludes commonly-used hypocorisms such as "Mike" for "Michael" or "Steve" for "Steven", unless they are original to Trump. Nicknames that Trump did not originate are annotated with footnotes.

Notes

  1. ^ Brown has had the nickname "Moonbeam", coined by Mike Royko, since the 1970s, predating Trump's use of the nickname.[20]
  2. ^ The name was in reference to the fact that George P. Bush was the only member of the Bush family to support Trump publicly. Most of the Bush family, including George's father Jeb Bush and former presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, denounced Trump.[23][24]
  3. ^ Boot-Edge-Edge is a mnemonic aid that Pete Buttigieg used to help with the pronunciation of his last name.[27]
  4. ^ Also used by Ron DeSantis[59]
  5. ^ a b The name was about Kasich winning only one state during the Republican primaries.
  6. ^ "Mad Dog" is not original to Trump; Mattis acquired the nickname during his service in the Marines.[65]
  7. ^ The nickname has been in use since at least 2010. During Strange's U.S. Senate campaign in 2017, Trump incorrectly implied that he was the first to use it.[93]
  8. ^ The nickname "AOC Plus 3" was originally coined by Laura Ingraham before Trump first used it days later.[113]
  9. ^ The nickname has been in use since at least 2007.[123]
  10. ^ Hillary Clinton has been credited with using the term "Fake News" prior to Trump. She was documented to have used the term on December 8, 2016, in what was believed to have been a reference to the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Trump was documented to have first used the term on January 11, 2017.[125]
  11. ^ Not original to Trump. See the article Democrat Party (epithet) for more details about the use of the term as an epithet.
