During a fund-raiser in Baltimore on Tuesday night, Mr. Biden fired back with a moniker of his own:
"He loves nicknames. I'd like to give him a new nickname - former President Trump."


https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/25/u...n-ukraine.html

This makes a great comparison with Trump. Trump's "nicknames" are all childish insults, like "little" or "crooked" or "lying." And cruder when he can get away with it. Biden, by contrast, comes up with a quip that is not only more adult, but also rather clever and wry.

It's absolutely childish and asinine, but the truth is that Trump knows exactly what he's doing. Attaching silly little nicknames to opponents is a lot more effective that you'd believe. It puts an idea into people's heads and then keeps repeating it. Sadly, Biden's response just comes off as weak and pathetic. It's responding to a rap artist who just burned you repeatedly with, "You sir are not a nice person." Kinda falls flat. Personally, I prefer the reaction of not going there. It's one of the aspects of Donald Trump that I dislike the most. That's not how most voters' minds work though. Most will psychologically respond to Trump's childish little nicknames without even realizing it.

I still think that he's completely missed some of the best ideas. Sleepy Joe should be Creepy Uncle Joe, with his unsolicited shoulder rubs and hair sniffing. The squad is a group of four, so Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse kinda perfect. These ladies are Communist-lite, they absolutely want to destroy capitalism and don't mind the idea of just tearing down our entire system, burning it down and building their Neo-Marxist utopia on the smoking ruins. That makes the nickname even that much better. But that's just what my inner troll is telling me.

Which horseman does each squad member represent?

Traitor Trump is currently the more accurate nickname.

Well let's look at this one.

Make stuff up, yes that applies to both Trump and Mr Sniff.
Impeached? Not yet at least and not likely.
Adulterer? Between Trump and his wife. The left certainly had no issues with the Kennedys and the Bill Clinton doing it. It's a bit hypocritical to care now. So on and so forth.
