Don the Con

Phony Donald

Dodging Donald

Daffy Donald


I think the first is the best because it reinforces the confirmation bias people have that maybe he's a con-man, and everytime you see him, this phrase can readily come to mind.

8. Each name he has throw out has come out of his own focus groups
Wed Jun 1, 2016, 02:45 PM
Jun 2016

Every candidate has focus groups that almost daily are given the task of analyzing their candidate for faults and developing strategies of attack and against attacks. One thing they do is make a list of a candidates weaknesses. It has always been Republican strategy to throw the most negative aspects attributed toward them out at the opposition. This is highly effective as it most always sticks and the mudslinger is not scrutinized.
The very first attacks from Trump accused his opponents of being LOSERS. This, I guarandamtee, is the accusation that Trump fears the most. A four time bankrupt, or banktrumped if I may coin a phrase, loser is what Trump IS.
LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER, and as Hillary has pointed out--How the hell do you lose money running a casino?

It's short, simple and rings true. It also manages to dig both Trump - for being a conman - and his foolish supporters -for falling for his con - at the same time.

A happy twofer!

comes off the tongue the best and will dig him at his soul. He will have to respond the way others have responded to him. It will anger and inflame him. He will not be able to resist blasting whoever uses it on him. He is a child and if we're lucky, it might stick.

41. "short-fingered vulgarian" .... here is why:

Jun 2016
http://www.npr.org/2016/03/07/469209254/decades-later-spy-magazine-founders-continue-to-torment-trump


Soon after its launch in 1986, the satirical magazine Spy picked Donald Trump as the brash embodiment of a crass age. Founded by Graydon Carter and Kurt Andersen, the magazine chronicled New York's obsessions with wealth and social status, zeroing in on Trump's questionable business dealings (of which there were many) and his outlandish personal traits (of which there were perhaps even more).

Carter is now editor of Vanity Fair, and Kurt Andersen is a novelist and host of Public Radio International and WNYC's nationally syndicated show Studio 360. (They sold the magazine in the mid-1990s, and it folded several years later.) No journalists have followed Trump more closely. No journalists have angered him more often. But they have not spoken jointly about Trump's unlikely bid for the presidency — until now. Late last week, Carter and Andersen reunited at Vanity Fair's offices to speak with NPR about Trump, his appeal as a target of derision and the prospects of a Trump White House.

Their humor at Spy echoes today: Their constant mockery of Trump as a "short-fingered vulgarian" reverberates in Marco Rubio's recent jibe that Trump has "small hands." Trump shot back at last week's Fox News debate, calling Rubio "little Marco," and then adding that no one had ever criticized his hands. "Look at these hands," Trump told viewers. "Are these small hands?" Trump then proceeded to defend the size of his genitals from the debate stage.

Don the Con is easier for supporters to brush off as meaning CONservative, whereas Conman makes it clear...and Donnie alludes to his childish bragging and insults. A spoiled little bully.

It's got cartoonish reference to go with his cartoonish personality.

It also allows for confirmation bias... he says silly things, so when he says them it's just Daffy Donald again. "There goes Daffy Donald again"

Finally, it has repetition, which always helps in people remembering.
