We should refer to him as The Donald. He made the name, he should wear it. It's obnoxious,

[mahina]

Pretentious, egotistical and ridiculous, just like him.

I'm rebranding him. Forget tRump. He's The Donald.

1. He has been known as The Donald for years.

He's been in the NYC newspapers, magazines, etc., for 40 years or so and no one has ever taken him seriously. The Donald is like our pet name for him. What stupid thing did the Donald do today? The Donald said something outrageous again. The Donald. Ho hum. Not news, just another press release.

2. Ivana was the one who referred to him as "the donald". English is not her first language so this

reference stuck. The press liked it and ran with it but Ivana was the source.

3. She married him in 1977.

I've been here since 1979, so that's all I've ever heard him called.

6. Absolutely correct!

Ivana also said "Don't get mad. Get everything!"

I've always liked her.

4. It should be written as: The Donald™

For Windows users, the ™ character is created by holding down the Alt key and typing 0153 on the number pad.

5. I prefer Donny. it sounds like the spoiled child he is.

[Mc Mike]

7. I like when he refers to himself as Trump.

"What do you have to lose, by giving (the august, storied, super successful and wonderful institution that is known as) Trump a chance?"
