Trump calls Evan McMullin 'McMuffin' in rally speech
The Hill ^ | December 16, 2016 | Paulina Firozi

Donald Trump repeated a nickname mocking one of his formal presidential rivals at his rally on Friday night, calling Evan McMullin “McMuffin.”

While reminiscing about watching the polls close on election night, Trump referred to the conservative third-party McMullin as a “character that nobody ever saw before, nobody ever heard of him before."

When someone in the audience chimed in to call the former Independent candidate “McMuffin,” Trump repeated it.

"That’s correct, that’s his name, he said Evan McMuffin, do you believe this?” Trump said. “I never heard of this guy before. Nobody did. And the polls said he’s even with Donald Trump. My wife said, she looked at the television and she said he’s not even with you. Believe me, he’s not even.”

Well .... I’m pretty sure I heard him make a qualifying statement by saying “Or whatever his name really is.” He also mentioned later in the speech that he doesn’t like to name his opponents by name. It was clearly a joke. He sounded like he was having a good time with it.

I’ll bet he left the toilet seat up in the men’s room too! The “media” may want to check it out.

Heard the whole rally live on CSPAN. Trump was brilliant, making many jokes, and that was one. The ene-media will look for any angle to discredit him, but it will only backfire on them. The People have their Champion and his name is TRUMP.

He was the Morman answer. He was totally put up to it by Romney. I think 80% of the Mormons abandoned him. I think the media lied out their teeth.They knew and lied anyway. The media has destroyed its credibility for the next 20 years. They don’t ever believe their own bull shit.

Big deal! So he had a trip of the tongue.

If this is the best anti-Trump thing they can come up with, they might as well just shut up and pull down the shades.

It was deliberate. The lefty media wants everyone to think, “How unpresidential,” but really it was just funny and in good humor. The traitor globalist McMuffin deserves a little gentle mocking.

The United States is run by a criminal cabal comprised of the Leftist government bureaucracy, the Media, Silicon Valley/Crony-Capitalists, and the Entertainment industry.

President Trump can call them by any name he sees fit.
