Your abbreviation search returned 35 meanings https://www.acronymfinder.com/FTG.html

I'm pretty sure that TFG means The Former Guy while I came up with FOL/Former Orange Lardo
on my own.

Not Former, I literally just learned that in this thread. And I'm not changing my thinking. If you try that maybe it'll be acceptable to you.

I just use T, it's a reflection of how little of both my mental and typing time I give him; but thinking "Fat Guy" when I see TFG is much less jarring than the true meaning.

I generally have a Casablanca approach - "You despise me, don't you?" "If I gave you any thought, I probably would."

No capital T. It's just so much faster to type than OrangeAss, which is what I used to call him.

It's not cussing, it's not name calling, it's a true simple fact. I use it when being polite, because it is the most true, simple, and non-nasty thing I can think to call him. I hate using his name, Trump, because he adores it so much.

It's not that I fear mentioning trump, it's just that I prefer not to give him the attention he deserves.
