DU Braintrust: We, and the media, need a good catchy name for this Trump scandal, like Watergate [View all]

Something the media can use.
Teapot Dome and Watergate being the best examples
I mean the GOP weaponized the word Benghazi for gosh sakes
They wont use something like "Traitorgate" or such
But what can we tag this as?
This is where we need to match and better the GOP for Benghazi, and Monicagate etc.
Branding and messaging
