In reply to the discussion: Is it appropriate or inappropriate to refer to Donald Trump as Donald Drumpf? [View all]califootman
(120 posts)43. Then call him a racist, misogynist, and xenophobe.
There are much better real words to use for him than having to revert to the schoolyard bully antics of name calling.
Again, it is freedom of speech, so people have a right to choose to call him names. But that is a choice they are making and the choices we make reflect on us.

It's irrelevant. I won't call him a thing - he is not and never will be my president

Yes, but it is an actual name and it is ancestral, so it's not really an insult.

How about something to do with his habit of being a polluter? That should be emphasized.
