Chas Danner (May 5, 2019). "Biden Stumbles Into Trump's Nickname War". NY Mag. Trump's name-calling is prolific enough to have its own Wikipedia page, but the names themselves often seem lazily conceived, focusing on people's physical appearance or demeanor, or just reusing the same prepositive adjectives for different people, like "crazy," "wacky," or "lyin'."
Described as a nickname by at least one secondary, independent, reliable source.
Described as being used by Trump by at least one secondary, independent, reliable source.
Trump should have used the nickname on at least two separate occasions.
There should be lasting coverage of the nickname.
Usage of these guidelines led to some significant trimmings of the list, and may require more (in particular the “lasting coverage” guideline excludes many of Trump’s nicknames). Dingers5Days (talk) 18:51, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Feel free to delete nicknames that have only been used once; I think most of the one-offs were scrubbed. Usually the best way of telling this (IF they began usage during or before Trump’s presidency) is to search the nickname on factba.se which has pretty much everything Trump has said publicly until January 2021.

Why though? If he has used it then he's used it. Why does it need multiple uses to get on here? Its like saying Leicester City haven't won the Premier League because it only happened once. Furthermore, why is a truth/tweet from Donald Trump not a reliable source? its literally straight from him — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:C612:DD00:64D9:5E89:D089:9F58 (talk) 16:26, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

There's a kind of consistent genius in many of these nicknames, and there are so many. It makes me think he didn't invent them spontaneously, but are the product of a professional group that first tests variations on a group to see which one gets the best reaction. The article doesn't discuss it, but surely someone has discussed it somewhere. -- GreenC02:08, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
