"Trumplethinskin", "Snowflake-in-Chief", "Diaper Don", and "President Butthurt" have also been used because of his {{Minor Insult Meltdown}}s and inability to [[CantTakeCriticism handle blunt criticism]]. "Cheeto-faced Assclown" has also made the rounds. "Cheeto Benito" is also popular. Also, [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr. Burns]], for obvious reasons.
