Joe Biden Has A New Nickname For Donald Trump And It's Historic

[question everything]

President Joe Biden on Thursday gave Donald Trump the business for his poor jobs record and debuted a new nickname for the occasion: “Donald Hoover Trump.”

Biden was touting his so-called Bidenomics at a community college in Maryland when he noted that Trump was one of two presidents who left office with fewer jobs in the U.S. than when they began.

“One was President Hoover, and the other was Donald Hoover Trump,” Biden said to laughter. “My predecessor promised to be the greatest job president in history. Well, it didn’t really work out that way. He lost 2 million jobs over the course of his presidency.”

[bucolic_frolic]

1. That is a really good jab, though I wonder if younger generations will understand it

[EYESORE 9001]

5. Just say, 'Google it, ya little twerp!'

[wnylib]

6. I wonder about that, too. But if they ask anyone or

look it up, they will learn something about history. Might even learn that FDR and his programs saved democracy and people's lives.

[BWdem4life]

8. Younger generations probably wouldn't vote for him anyway

I can't believe we're seriously talking about a possible second term for this creature.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. And by "him" you mean Trump

Just to be clear

[BWdem4life]

11. Yes of course. nt

[Aussie105]

63. But I had the same feeling before his first election.

Hillary got it in the bag, Trump is too much of a sham blowhard to get anywhere.

How wrong I was . . .

[maxsolomon]

33. IIRC, * has 50% of every age demographic of white voter.

even Gen Z.

[Act_of_Reparation]

9. "Younger generations"

Yeah, okay, man.

Stop 10 boomers walking around your local Wal-Mart and ask them what they remember about "Hoover". Tell me how many of them think you're talking about a vacuum cleaner.

[Harker]

47. Damn.

Or Dam.

[plimsoll]

60. I object to getting lumped in with boomers,

But why think that people who had depression era grandparents didn't hear about Hoover? They may not have understood how bad it was, but most of them knew that Hoover was throwing out lead life jackets. They still voted for Reagan.

[jaxexpat]

65. There is not a single Democratic white "boomer" who lives nearby.

Of course, I live in a place where it's "common wisdom" among a certain generation that Black and Democrat are synonyms. These boomers were trained from an early age not to indulge in critical thinking, and it shows. I have, though, heard Hoover referred to as a great president. I expect that's something they got from Fox.

[BaronChocula]

31. He does explain it in setting up the "joke" n/t

[IronLionZion]

37. Maybe people will think it's Hoover vacuums because he sucks

They still teach the Great Depression in schools. Unless it makes Republicans uncomfortable so they erase history from schools in red states.

[A HERETIC I AM]

45. A minor aside;

Just as Americans call all nose tissues “Kleenex” regardless of brand, the British call the act of vacuuming and the vacuum itself “Hoovering” and “The Hoover” in the same way!

So no matter if you own an Oreck or a Dyson or whatever, using it is called Hoovering with the Hoover!

This small bit of useless trivia brought to you by me, a completely horrible person with no redeeming qualities.

[RussBLib]

50. At least you have modesty

....right?

[A HERETIC I AM]

54. I'm wonderful in that way!

[Shermann]

55. A self-deprecating sense of humor is, in an of itself, a redeeming quality! nt

[A HERETIC I AM]

59. Awwww....

That’s very kind of you to say!

[lillypaddle]

39. Better question

will dumb shit donnie get it?

[musclecar6]

42. Oh

He’ll get it. Course bottles of ketchup will be flying all over the fucking place.

[musclecar6]

43. Oh

He’ll get it. Course bottles of ketchup will be flying all over the fucking place.

[ecstatic]

52. They won't. I didn't either but now I know. nt

[cilla4progress]

2. I cannot effing stand how dump

keeps saying he had the "best" economy yadda yadda.

All I see is journos taking this at face value instead of confronting him on it!

C'mon people..woman up! How hard it is?

[FalloutShelter]

3. It's time to boycott the MSM.

They are shoveling the dirt in on Democracy for fun and profit.
Turn them off.

[Magoo48]

12. I've been doing it for 12 years now. I've found news sources I trust.

[FalloutShelter]

21. Yep... It's the right thing to do.

I used to think... I need to hear all of it. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Not anymore.
I don't need to be spun up with anger daily to understand what is happening to this country and what can be done.
There is only one answer to everything...

MORE DEMOCRATS!

I don't need the MSM to tell me that. For those who think Biden is too old. Get over it.
Don't like the Democrats in your district.... get over it. The GOP needs to be utterly and completely destroyed at the ballot box.
PERIOD.

[cilla4progress]

35. Do share?

[Magoo48]

46. Democracy Now, This forum here, KPFK radio and online, other listener supported radio and TV.

[cilla4progress]

53. Meidas

Touch? Brian Cohen? Luke Beasley? YouTube

[maxsolomon]

34. in what forum is * going to be confronted over that claim?

not only will he NOT answer a question like that, he CAN'T. because he's a diet-pill addled idiot.

the entire RW Media was created to protect conservatives from having to answer real journalist's questions.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Unless you know history, it's a futile effort.

A decade ago, I witnessed a fourth grade teacher tell her class that Hoovervilles were named in honor of President Hoover. Not sarcastic or ironic— just moronic.

[wnylib]

14. Inexcusable in a teacher.

I once worked with a woman who stated very authoritatively that Hitler put Jews in camps because he was trying to create a master race out of them.

It was impossible to explain her error to her because she was the kind of person who yelled and talked over anyone she didn't agree with.

[Recycle_Guru]

17. many people are well aware of Hoover and Great Depression

[dalton99a]

7. Many people say the Hoover Dam is a beautiful wonder of the world

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Yes and real people prefer the term "that damn Hoover"

[wnylib]

16. Much more attractive than his other creation, the Hoovervilles.

[nevergiveup]

15. Donald Fuckface Trump works better for me.

At onetime Hoover was a fairly good vacuum cleaner. If you google Hoover that is the first thing you see. I love Joe Biden but he too often gets lost in the olden days. One of his keys to re-election is getting younger people out to vote. That phrase ain't going to do it.

[wnylib]

19. Agree, but in the context where he used it, speaking to

college students, the term was understood. Presumably they have learned something about US history.

[peppertree]

18. Always hoovering those bribes

[Magoo48]

20. Maybe leave agent orange out of it.

Hoovervilles are growing ever larger daily. They’re too big to ignore now.

[czarjak]

22. The Truth Will Set You Free

First, it will piss you off, rubes.

[ITAL]

23. It's kinda sad that Hoover became President

He's probably the greatest humanitarian the United States has ever produced, but he's only remembered as a lousy Chief Executive.

[LastDemocratInSC]

44. He was an excellent engineer and facilitator of humanitarian efforts following WW1.

[ITAL]

49. During AND after

And Truman brought him in to feed Europe after WWII as well.

[Sane1]

24. 2 Million Jobs Plus.....

2 million jobs lost plus hundreds of thousands of Covid Deaths attributed to his piss poor handling of the pandemic!

[wnylib]

25. Some other terms that he might use

For Traitors

Benedict Arnold Trump
Donald Judas Trump

But President Biden is aiming his comments against Trump's jobs and economy record. By prefacing his comment with a comparison between Trump's record and Hoover's, he paved the way for the Donald Hoover Trump name. People who don't know history will at least realize that Hoover was a president, and a bad one on economics.

[soldierant]

41. I'm not sure this is 100% true

His secind wife and her father were Tories and thet led to it,

But Arnold was definitely closer to acting onprinciple than TFG

[AllaN01Bear]

26. saw that yesterday , but still love it. somone on here callse djt dumpster fire

and i like that too. easier to remember.

[japple]

27. And that's a very nice way of saying Donald sucks. He sucks like a vaccuum

cleaner.

[Grins]

28. Make it three. You can add G.W. Bush.

Before Obama was inaugurated the Wall Street Journal wrote there were no new jobs added during the eight-year national nightmare that was the administration. None. In November and December of 2008, a million jobs a month were lost.

[BootinUp]

29. Cuts like knife. Nt

[Sneederbunk]

30. I prefer Big Loser.

[calimary]

32. And why not? Because donald sucks!

[Deep State Witch]

36. Hoobert Heever? :D

I believe that was a Bob Hope joke.

[Ray Bruns]

38. I have several nicknames for trump. Most involve the word "shithead".

[Buns_of_Fire]

40. I think I've settled on "P1135809". Or "P" for short. nt

[GoCubsGo]

48. Shades of Ann Richards at the 1996 Democratic convention.

I'll never forget her speech mocking "George Herbert Hoover Bush." Lordy, I miss her.

[yellowdogintexas]

61. "Stick a fork in him, he's done" & "Poor George, he can't help

if he was born with a silver foot in his mouth"

Ann was The Best In The Business!!!! (zinger business)

[Kid Berwyn]

51. "Traitor Trump" would be my suggestion.

It would stick and leave a mark, too. For history.

[Attilatheblond]

56. Have GOP controlled state & local legislative bodies, school boards banned all history classes yet?

Fully expect it any ol day now. They won't want the masses learning about the horrible POTUS Biden is comparing Trump to.

[Wednesdays]

57. In 1992, we were calling Poppy

"George Herbert Hoover Bush."

[Cha]

58. I love it and fuckhead Hoovertrump can

can Lie all he wants.. the Facts are Documented.

Hoovertrump FAFO during his time in the wh.. and that's All he did.

[JI7]

62. The Former Guy is better

[Bluethroughu]

64. Perfect...a perfect call!

[dmr]

66. I love my President!

Yup, I surely do.

[NH Ethylene]

67. That's great except most people don't know one president from the other from back then.

I'm 68 and I certainly have heard lots about the Depression era (via word-of-mouth), but president names from the first half of the century are just a jumble in my mind. Social studies in schools, when I was a kid, started every year with Christopher Columbus and never - ever - made it to the 20th century. Perhaps I'd know more if I had taken History in high school, but I do think I am typical.

If he wants to give 45 a nickname that will stick it needs to be more relatable to the average person of ANY age.

[bmichaelh]

68. How about a Star Wars Reference

As in Donald Jabba Trump

[SunSeeker]

69. Sadly, the vast majority of Americans won't understand the reference.

They don't know who Hoover is, let alone why he was such an awful President.
