Somebody dug up a story from World War II and recycled it. Instead of Chiang Kai-Shek, it’s Pres. Trump. I’d forget this “peanut” nickname business, it sounds like some leftist garbage. I doubt that your average Russian even knows what a peanut is.
Sorry, it was a play on Joe Piscapo’s Miller Lite, Short NBA player commercial. He calls a tall basketball player peanut. Pointing out stupid is getting tough as I get older. Slowly it’s becoming the new normal.
