Trump's 'Sleepy Joe' nickname for Biden isn't working. Even Trump knows it

[TexasTowelie]

Among the things President Trump seems to pride himself on is branding his opponents with some devastating nicknames.

This should not be news to anyone even casually paying attention. From “low-energy Jeb” Bush to “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz in the 2016 Republican primary to “Crooked Hillary” Clinton in the general election, Trump has continued the mocking nicknames through his presidency. There is even a long Wikipedia page devoted to tracking all of the monikers.

But his nickname for Joe Biden, “Sleepy Joe”, just doesn’t seem to be effective in bringing him down. Biden is up double digits in national polling and leading in six important swing states, which would easily make Biden the next president. Of course, there’s a lot more behind those polls than an ineffective nickname.

That said, the polls have caused Trump apparently to rethink the Biden nickname, at least according to the Washington Post, which reported he is considering changing Biden’s nickname. The options? “Swampy Joe,” “Creepy Joe,” and “Corrupt Joe.”

2. Derogatory nicknames...

Derogatory nicknames are as juvenile as it gets, but then arrested development is another one of Trump's flaws.

Mamby-pamby pants! Nyah!!!!

3. They appeal to his base. But don't forget DU has a set of them for him

However, a proper, true, real president would be too dignified to use any. A president is not J. Random Citizen.

5. All of Trump's nicknames for his opponents are projections.

No energy, a congenital liar, crooked as a corkscrew, reads speeches like he's asleep, the swampiest creature in DC, creepier than Jeffrey Epstein and totally corrupt.
