is the best use of "TFG" I have seen.

I think if Trump gets jailed (yeah, I know it's unlikely), part of his punishment should be having a monitor in his cell that shows comments about him from this site and other progressive sites.

"Biden says he's 'tired of talking' about 'former guy' Trump in first town hall as president
....
President Joe Biden tried to steer clear of conversation about his predecessor in his first town hall as president on Tuesday evening.

"I'm tired of talking about Donald Trump," Biden told an audience in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at the CNN event.

Biden, who at one point referred to Trump as "the former guy," tip-toed around questions from CNN host Anderson Cooper about the former president. Cooper pressed Biden for any reaction to Trump's recent acquittal in his Senate impeachment trial, yet Biden did not weigh in.


"For four years, all that's been in the news is Trump," Biden said. "For the next four years, I want to make sure that all the news is American people."....(more)

which obviously - based on the number of times it has to be explained - makes it challenging to read DU - was not.
