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 didnt really work out that way. He lost 2 million jobs over the course of his presidency.

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.

(1,690 posts)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.

(7,794 posts)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.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,630 posts)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.

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.

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.

(4,815 posts)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.

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.

(31,010 posts)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.
