Dump Trump. With Integrity.

[Content Note: Disablism; appearance and name mockery.]

Looking ahead to the distinct possibility of having to wage a battle to keep Donald Trump out of the White House (although this will be operative for anyone who gets the GOP nomination), I want to talk about the language and strategies that progressives will use to do that.

I have previously written about the importance of not using ableist slurs and instead saying what you mean. (Read that link as background to the rest of this piece.)

There is already an enormous amount of "Donald Trump is crazy," and making fun of his appearance, and [CN: video autoplays at link] care of John Oliver, a campaign to rename Donald Trump as "Drumpf," his family's name before it was changed.

If you care about not stigmatizing people with mental illness, or not tacitly condoning looks-based bullying, or allowing people to go by whatever name they choose (which has particular importance to trans people), then you will be keen to find other ways to talk about Donald Trump.

Which is to say nothing of the fact that calling him crazy, or making fun of his appearance, or mocking his name, doesn't convey even a little how heinous his policies are and what a dangerous person he is.

That's why it's important to say what you mean. If you mean Donald Trump is indecent, say that. If you mean that Donald Trump is a bully, say that. If you mean that Donald Trump is a vainglorious poseur who incessantly disgorges rank bigotry masquerading as policy, then say that.

Using words that have meaning is not only a decent thing to do, to save others from the rhetorical buckshot of ableist and other problematic language, but it addresses in a serious way the reasons why Donald Trump should never, ever, be president.

That said, I am aware of the fact that it can be useful—and feels good—to have some creative shorthand to convey just how terrible Trump is. So, because I am nothing if not generous, here are 50 ways to say that Trump is the fucking worst that don't rely on marginalizing language. Borrow at will!
