Donald Trump became widely known during his 2016 presidential campaign, his first presidency from 2017 to 2021, his inter-presidential period and 2024 presidential campaign for using nicknames to criticize, insult, or otherwise express commentary about media figures, politicians, and foreign leaders.[1][2][3][4][5]

Attorneys working on Robert Mueller's investigation of potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. The press identified thirteen of the seventeen attorneys as either being registered to vote as Democrats or making contributions to Democratic candidates. Those not identified as such are denoted with a star(★).[125] It is unclear whether this was the criterion Trump used to distinguish 13 out of 17 individuals since Trump did not detail which thirteen individuals he included in the nickname. |

Beautiful Hillary. Such a beautiful woman.
'Florida was doing GREAT long before Ron DeSanctus got there,' Trump said in a post on his Truth Social site on Tuesday.
And now that "Meatball Ron" has become his leading moniker for Ron DeSantis, Trump might have landed on another keeper.
Just a … mixed-up … pile of words. Like she is
'I call him Little Ben Sasse,' Trump said. 'I have to do it, I'm sorry. That's when my religion always deserts me.'
To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle', not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle' Adam Schiff.
'This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!' Trump said in a series of tweets.
Little @MacMiller sent me an expensive plaque for making his song "Donald Trump" such a big hit.
So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post. Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!.
Low ratings CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word little wrong. A small but never ending situation with CNN!
'MSDNC isn't here as well,' Trump quipped
'The actual conspiracy to defraud the United States was the Democrats rigging the Election, and the Fake News Media and the Unselect Committee covering it up,' he said.
