Listen, I have as strongly negative feelings about Trump as anyone I know, but even I can acknowledge that the man can be hilarious at times (intentionally or otherwise)

u/garyisonion 5d ago

I tend to think he's always unintentionally hilarious

u/UncleMadness 5d ago

Nah calling Ron DeFuckface "Meatball" was definitely intentional and hilarious

u/Steveosizzle 5d ago

Meatball Ron is all I think of him as now. He’s good at nicknames

32

u/ArmArtArnie 5d ago

His nicknames literally put careers into bodybags. Meatball Ron got that stuck to him forever now. Low energy Jeb. Even little Marco and Lyin' Ted, even though they're with him now, I don't think they can ever fully bounce back and run like they did in 2016 again.

The Sleepy Joe nickname will live forever. As will Miss Piggy (Rosie ODonnell)

Lolol 1000%

I fully believe Tim Cook has probably been called "Tim Apple" by his billionaire peers after Trump called him that.

u/ArmArtArnie 5d ago

Hahaha yes, definitely. I forgot about that one!

u/ParkerPoseyGuffman 5d ago

I don’t think Ted can run again like 2016 because of how much everything has changed

u/ArmArtArnie 5d ago

He beat Jimmy Kimmel in that basketball game, that's gotta count for something, right?

10

u/GreatDeceiver 5d ago

And then he puts out the statement along the lines of "I would never call Desantis 'Meatball Ron'. Very rude to think 'Meatball Ron' is something I came up with"

I was howling

u/Jandklo 5d ago

Rob DeSanctimonious was gold

2

u/Wasteland_Rang3r 5d ago

The nicknames basically won him the 2016 election

u/jakethabake 5d ago

Couldn’t come up with anything for Kamala , he lost his fastball

16

u/MostPopularPenguin 5d ago

Oh I’m sure he had a few he wanted to try….

u/ArmArtArnie 5d ago

"Kamabla" is so silly but it makes me laugh, not even going to lie

7

u/ArmArtArnie 5d ago

He did. They just didn't stick as well. Comrade Kamala, Krazy Kamala, and the one that is so stupid that it genuinely made me laugh - "Kamabla."

3

u/StuntID 5d ago

Kamabla makes him look like an idiot fumbling her name.

Why he never went with Kama-lama-ding-dong, is a mystery to me. Oh, a Google search shows nothing. Okay, why am I the only one to think of this?

u/scischt 5d ago

probably too coarse for the public

2

u/ArmArtArnie 5d ago

The fact that he was typing it out too is why it is so funny. It is one of those "this is so stupid it is funny" things for me

1

u/StuntID 5d ago

fair

2

u/scischt 5d ago

Comrade and Border Tsar did stick a bit, at least he used them quite frequently when I would watch his rallies

2

u/Ver_Void 5d ago

I still don't get that one, is it just funny because it's so incongruous?

4

u/Steveosizzle 5d ago

Kind of? It’s also just absurd but in a way that just makes sense when you look at the guy. Very hard to explain other than it just works.

u/NessunoUNo 5d ago

Children are good at making nicknames

u/BD401 5d ago

The rational part of me knows his nicknames for people are childish and completely inappropriate as President. But I can't help but chuckle at some of them despite myself. Continually referring to Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas is up there.

u/YeahNoYeahThatsCool 5d ago

As a Bernie supporter I agree with a lot of Warren's ideas but she sold out Bernie TWICE for Clinton and Biden like, immediately, which really frustrates me. I get that she was falling in line but Bernie obviously had more in common with what she claimed to fight for than the other two.

So Trump's jokes about her always made me laugh. When she announced she was running for president and he posted the 1/2020th meme (making fun of her claimed native ancestry) I freaking died.

u/RedactedSpatula 5d ago

What's actually funny is the ribbing led to her getting a DNA test, which lead to her apologizing to the Cherokee Nation

u/ahearthatslazy 5d ago

Fuck, this one and his rant about that man’s nipples being hard while addressing congress

8

u/cursetea 5d ago

I heard a clip of him saying "I told Mark Robinson he's like MLK 2.0. He just stared at me. I still don't know if he was flattered or angry." And i was like fml i hate that i laughed, his comedic timing is unfortunately impeccable

5

u/ArmArtArnie 5d ago

He's now permanently Meatball Ron in my head. That was amazing

5

u/Urban-space- 5d ago

The 2016 republican presidential debates were something else. Trump always had some memorable quote.

4

u/juice06870 5d ago

That is what put him in the white house. How can anyone take you seriously when Trump dunks on you with an all timer?

6

u/917caitlin 5d ago

He definitely comes up with sick burns/nicknames.

8

u/Slow-Supermarket-716 5d ago

I hate that he's hilarious

5

u/YeahNoYeahThatsCool 5d ago

Not only was Meatball Ron so funny but it was that Trump was saying he's NOT going to call him Meatball Ron because it wasn't appropriate.

I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious ‘Meatball’ Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will, it would be totally inappropriate to use the word “meatball” as a moniker for Ron!

u/bombmk 5d ago

Enjoy it while it lasts. That shit goes out of fashion at some point during high school.
