Can someone tell me the origins of our calling Trump "Krasnov"?

1. It took two seconds to search "Krasnov Trump"

2. Thank you. I thought it was just a DU term for him...

[MuseRider]

13. There are so many terms for him

it can be hard to remember them all. I often have to pick around to learn about a new one I did not hear about if I was not able to be on. Thank you for asking this, I know a bit but had forgotten much of it. I do not know about you but I am getting old and forget more and more and have always found this a very kind and helpful place. I would hate to see it change. (((HUGS)))

14. It is really hard to keep up

And there are usually new ones cropping up all the time.

and you can be duly impressed.

3. My favorites for him are Krasnov and tfg. I don't know the exact meaning of TFG

but my translation is the fat guy. I use tRump when writing about him on DU. 🙂

4. I think Biden referred to him as 'The Former Guy' a few times. So it stuck.

But that effing guy fits too.

11. I had forgotten what the 'F' stood for so I have been translating it as 'Felon'

[madinmaryland]

17. tfg. I use it to refer to "That f**king guy". Trump.

5. Clever nicknames may feel good, but hamper clear communication. Nt

16. Glad this view is represented in this thread.

It's rather juvenile, in my opinion. That said, and if you acknowledge that it serves only makes you feel good or signal your online-liberal bona fides to your in-group, then go for it.

But if you think it clarifies discourse or has any effect on him, you're wasting your time.

19. There is a third thing in that it reinforces the idea that he is a Russian agent. It's more than just a petty insult

Like always calling him a rapist, child rapist etc. his victims are the juveniles here, not us.

7. What to know about the rumor Trump was recruited by KGB in 1987

According to a Facebook post from a former Kazakh security official, Trump was given the code name "Krasnov."
