Presidential nicknames
Through out the history of the USA, the president typically gets tagged or earns an expression, nickname or phrase which is forever more associated with his name.
George Washington (Father of our Country), Herbert Hoover (Hoovervilles), Abraham Lincoln (Freed the Slaves) and so forth.
More recently; Richard Nixon (Tricky Dickie/I am not a crook), Jimmy Carter (Peanut farmer/could not inspire water to run downhill), Ronald Reagan (Ronald Raygun/That Actor), William Clinton (Slick Willy), G.H.W.B (is now known as “41” ) plus coined the term “Voodoo economics” and of course our current resident of the Whitehouse has a few of his own.
Perhaps the president who favors giving out nicknames would get a kick out of this thread. Twists of the name are the most obvious…………… Shrub………we can do better.
Here are a few I’ve recently come across. Can you add more?
George Bush: The Mulligan Man
"Mulligan: a free shot sometimes given a golfer in informal play when the previous shot was poorly played.
Mr. Magoo Flying America into Disaster
As the Iraq War drags on and the economy languishes, Bush attempts to fix what is not broken and ignores what needs to be fixed.
