DON'T Speak or type that name

Someone else said it here...I wholeheartedly agree!

We see that name too much-you know which one I’m talking about. How about we stop using that name? ...call it anything else - we all know who we are talking about. In fact, use the worst, vile, metaphor for it — always!!
Let’s not have that word appear on DU anymore! Please.

I don’t care - makes me wanna throw up!!
Saying its name keeps its name in the news and top of mind awareness to include name recognition. Name recognition only helps it and I want to hurt it, hurt it bad -beyond that even.

I don't say the P word because if you steal it you didn't earn it and I don't use his name because he's not a human being, just an evil fucking destroyer of everything to promote himself.

Furious Cheeto.
Fascist Cheeto.
Lord Dampnut. (An anagram of his name, apparently)
TAB (Tangerine colostomy bag)
And my personal favorite:
Tangeranus. (Or more wholly: A Tangerine-hued Talking Anus)
