A Modest Suggestion about Referring to the "Other Guy"

With respect for anyone who wishes to use his or her own unique verbiage, may I suggest that we generally refer to him as the defeated former guy. Whatever term or phrase we may personally use to describe him, I believe it will be more effective if we fairly consistently use the term defeated in our terminology. It reflects reality in a way that deserves to be regularly repeated. At least that's my perception. Thank you for considering my suggestion, fellow DU friends and associates. - Dave

But I get your point.

I'll start using "The Defeated Fucking Criminal Misogynist Asshole."

as "that sack of orange $hit" who formerly occupied the Oval Office.

I never referred to him as "President".
