Say what you want about the man, but President Donald J. Trump reigns king in terms of giving his political opponents nicknames. His latest moniker was bestowed upon South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg during an interview with Politico on Friday. The commander-in-chief bluntly told the magazine that "Alfred E. Neuman cannot become president," referring to the iconic mascot for the magazine MAD.
The president made his remarks during a 15 minutes interview with Politco Friday afternoon. As noted by the magazine, "Neuman’s freckled, gap-toothed face and oversized ears have for decades graced the cover of the humor magazine Mad."
Indeed, a side-by-side comparison of "Mayor Pete" and Alfred E. Neuman shows the president nailed the description.
Buttigieg, for his part, admitted he had to Google who exactly the president was speaking about. "I’ll be honest. I had to Google that," Mayor Pete told Politico. "I guess it’s just a generational thing. I didn’t get the reference. It's kind of funny, I guess. But he’s also the president of the United States and I’m surprised he’s not spending more time trying to salvage this China deal."
As one source close to President Trump told Politico, these nicknames give President Trump a huge edge over his opponents, whether the American political class likes to admit it or not.
“Trump believes that if you can encapsulate someone in a phrase or a nickname, you can own them,” the source said. “Low energy Jeb, Little Marco, that kind of sh** really diminishes people and puts you in control of them and that’s what Trump is a genius for doing.”
As much as I appreciate what our President says, I’m still going to call him “Buttplug”.
How about Alfred E. Buttplug?
2 word branding Trump’s 10 second sound bites
No problem. He is one after all.
That’s even better.
Republicans should start referring to Buttplug as Peter, NOT Pete.
Peter Buttplug sounds more vial than ‘Pete’, and it reminds voters what he is doing with his “Husband”.
Someone here called him “Peter Eater,” which was hilarious.
And I think you meant “vile,” there, not “vial” :-) :-)
Peter the Sodomite Buttplug.
He's using their own tactics against them:
Alinsky's Rules:
5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
13. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."
LOL
Yeah, vile, he is that.
Problem with ‘Peter Eater’ is you couldn’t get away with calling him that in mixed company.
Even the conservative media COULD get away with referring to him as Peter Buttgig aka Buttplug.
Pee Wee Herman is more fitting.
Yes, he is. And yet, these geniuses continue to give him reasons to nickname them? What a hoot! This is too much fun!
I can’t help it. I love that guy! I truly do.
President Donald J. Trump is the best(!) thing that’s happened to American politics in my lifetime.
He, and those he brought with him, are doing the impossible!
They are pulling US free from the dark side.
”Thankya, Jesus!”
It is interesting that that ONLY think the press brings to the forefront about Alfred E B. is his sexual prefs.
Nothing about intelligence.
Nothing about leadership.
Nope, just he and his hubby.
Big fat hairy deal (oops, didn’t even see that coming).
We’re looking at a large-scale singularity here...nothingness exposed..and yup, I know one cannot exposed the singularity - but couldn’t resist.
I could care less about where he goes for pleasure, and would elect a green slime if it demonstrated some intelligence (a feat beyond ANY of the Democrat presidential candidates currently being displayed).
I kinda like “Booty Judge.”
That’s how it supposedly pronounced, and Chasen (the irony) will confirm that...
In multiple ways.

“How about Alfred E. Buttplug?”
I think we have a Winner!
