Because there will never be an American President elected whose “fans” (supporters) refer to said person by their first name.

I’m sure none here ever uttered the words ‘Ronaldus Magnus” in reference to, in in place of the name Ronald Reagan, and immediately had every reader knowing who we were talking about ;).

Give ‘em hell, Harry might be surprised to hear that. So would Jimmah, Teddy, Jack, Ike, Abe, and a few others whose first names weren’t quite debasing enough.

Counterexample: Nixon (after Watergate).

Granted, he got elected first and then they started calling him that, but still...

Cheers!

You mean, like "Jack" (Kennedy)? Or "Honest Abe"? Or "Andy" (Jackson), or "Old Tippecanoe", or "Teddy", or "Silent Cal"?

Think again.
