Old and rare words for our old and awful President.
pumpkin-head

This term for a fool or dolt or round-headed individual has been around since the mid-1700s.

It's perfect for Trump, who is indeed a round-headed dolt/fool, in addition to being very orange.

Very, very orange.

Please stop wrecking the country, President Pumpkin-head.

gazook

This wonderful word is defined by the OED as "A fool; a stupid or unpleasant person."

Trump takes the hat trick: he's all three.

This example of 1920s slang deserves a revival in the 2020s.

I'll never understand how people could vote for a gazook.

dough-cake

"Dough-cake" is a rarely used term that, in addition to its literal meaning, popped up in the late 1700s meaning a fool or idiot.

The president is a dough-cake, and a stale one at that.

twonk

"Twonk" is British slang for an idiot or fool.

Like Trump, this term has been around since the 1980s.

Trump is a twonk, as well as a twit and a twat.

jobbernowl

This colorful term, dating from the late 1500s, is defined by the OED as "A stupid or foolish person; an idiot, a numbskull."

Trump is all four.

Therefore, he is a jobbernowl.

I wish my skull were numb enough to forget that the president is a jibbering jobbernowl.

slapsauce

The OED defines "slapsauce" as "One who is fond of good eating; a greedy or gluttonous person."

Trump isn't known for fine dining, but "greedy" and "gluttonous" fit him like a greasy glove.

I look forward to the day when our country isn't "led" by a slapsauce.

gold-thirsty

This word for the greedy has been around since the 1500s.

Few words are a better fit for the avaricious Trump.

It feels like Trump has been around since the 1500s.

Will we ever be free of this gold-thirsty kleptocrat?

snidge

The OED defines "snidge," recorded since the 1500s, as “A greedy or miserly person.”

The ultra-corrupt Trump is the epitome of greed.

He is a snidge.

This word has a nasty mouthfeel, which is fitting.

dastardling

This is a rare word from 1800 for the dastardly sort.

What kind of dastardling would invade Portland?

Trump is obviously dastardly, as well as despicable, demented, and diabolical.

tallywhacker

This term for a penis also applies to dicks who are assholes.

Is there a bigger asshole than Trump?

No, there is not.

Therefore, he is a tallywhacker.

Sadly, Trump is America's tallywhacker, much like Florida.

I reckon America needs a good bobbitting.

pudding-head

Since at least the mid-1800s, a pudding-head has been a dum-dum, a fool, a simpleton, a poop-butt.

At the risk of offending pudding lovers, I reckon Trump is a serious pudding-head.

Moreover, President Pudding-head is a felonious fuckhead.

pigwidgeon

Originally a term for a little creature such as a fairy or elf, "pigwidgeon" came to mean "A small or insignificant person or thing; a stupid or contemptible person" in the 1600s, according to the OED.

Trump is stupid and contemptible enough to more than qualify as a prime pigwidgeon.
September 26, 2025 at 4:16 PM
wrongo

The OED defines wrongo as "A bad, dishonest, or untrustworthy person; a ‘wrong 'un’."

This term also refers to counterfeit coins and has been in use since the 30s.

Few examples of carbon-based life are as consistently wrong, in every sense, as the felonious Trump, so he is a major wrongo.

dunghill

People have been likened to dunghills since the mid-1500s.

But has any person since that time been more of a dunghill than Trump?

No, I reckon not.

I’m so tired of the Dunghill-in-Chief.

mudworm

In the 1800s, “mudworm” was a rare term for a contemptible person.

Today there is one mudworm who is muddier and wormier than the rest: Trump.

Will we ever be free of President Mudworm?

hooky-crooky

This rare 1800s word is defined by the OED as “Not straightforward, perverse, dishonest.”

Everything about Trump is hooky-crooky, and we are all the poorer for it.

Trump’s hooky-crooky ways have left me in a higgledy-piggledy daze.
September 23, 2025 at 6:14 PM
slobber-chops

According to the OED, this term originally applied to a drooling animal or person, then more generally to “a stupid, contemptible, or ineffectual person.”

You had me at “stupid.”

Trump is a slobber-chops, dripping hate and ignorance all over our country. The dude needs a bib.

pediculous

Originally, this adjective meant infested with lice in the 1500s, before coming to mean just plain lousy.

Trump is a lousy leader, a lousy businessman, a lousy human being, a lousy primate, a lousy Earthling.

Our ridiculous president is pediculous.
September 22, 2025 at 9:32 PM
poop-butt

The OED defines this one as “A contemptible or lazy person.”

Trump is guilty on both counts, and therefore a poop-butt.

Poooooopppp-buuuuuuuuuuttttt.

Excuse me, that was disrespectful.

I should watch my tone when talking about President Poop-Butt.

stupiditarian

This word, dating from the mid-1800s, sounds like someone proud of their own stupidity.

That fits Trump to a T.

I hate living in stupiditarian times.

ninnyhammer

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a ninnyhammer (1592) is “A blockhead; a fool or braggart.”

Besides all of the above, Trump is certainly a ninny, and he swings like a sack of hammers, bludgeoning norms, institutions, and rights.

So he is a ninnyhammer.
