Please refer to Trump as "Person #1" Don't even refer to him as the "former" anything associated with the Presidency. He loves being called the TFG because it reminds folks he was the "former President." Either refer to him as person #1 or "conspirator #1"

(7,275 posts)No matter the context. Printed, spoken, sneered, revered, in Big Gold Letters, no matter.
I figure it's the least we can do to deny him pleasure.
(not that he reads DU, of course; but do you doubt that he has Google give him a daily update on how many instances of his name it finds?)

(1,765 posts)personally prefer to simply pretend he never existed at all and move on.
He has no hope of winning another election, he is ruined. Just forget about that ass and move on to more important topics.
But media outlets will never do that because Trump is the cash cow, and everyone is obsessed with him for some damned reason.
