Even before entering the political arena, Donald Trump had a keen ability to attract attention with his brash personality and penchant for sometimes brutally direct nicknames.
He has effectively used that strategy through multiple campaigns and into his second term, recently proving that he hasn’t run out of ideas.
That’s because, as he explained to Sean Hannity, the left keeps on inspiring new ones.
Here’s the report from the New York Post:
“I came up with a new name. I don’t know if I should,” Trump told Fox News Anchor Sean Hannity late Thursday in an interview about his historic meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
“Dumocrats — because they’re dumb,” Trump said, explaining that his version gets rid of the ‘b.’
The president said he first came up with the nickname while discussing House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) — who he called a “very-low IQ individual.”
“So he’s a dumb guy, he’s a Democrat, and I said, ‘Oh, what a great name for this!’” he said.
Given his leadership position on Capitol Hill, Jeffries has been among the most vocal critics of Trump and the MAGA movement, though his diatribes often fall flat among all but the most diehard Democrat loyalists:
If your party wasnt so obbsessed with Trump, creating race wars, flooding the country with foregners who want to chop off a piece of our pie for themselves and trying to flood us all with sexual.degeneracy madness we might not be in this shit show mess. You are a disgrace.

Hakeem Jeffries and Obama cared more about bombing Libya than making our lives better. Jeffries cared more about shutting everything down during Covid than making it affordable for Americans.

Hakeem Jeffries is a gaslighting POS.
Democrats, you deserve better.

Here’s more from Fox Business on a more substantive portion of Trump’s interview with Hannity:
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump described his talks with the Chinese leader as “very good” and said the aircraft commitment exceeded Boeing’s expectations.
“One thing [Xi] agreed to today: he’s going to order 200 jets. That’s a big thing. Boeing — 200 big ones. That’s a lot of jobs. It’s a lot. Boeing wanted 150, he got 200,” Trump said.
Terms of the agreement, including delivery timelines and aircraft models, were not immediately disclosed.
Trump arrived in China Wednesday alongside a delegation of top American business leaders for meetings with Chinese officials and executives. The visit marks Trump’s first trip to the country since 2017 and comes amid mounting tensions over trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan and the fallout from the war with Iran.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg was among those executives and recently said the trip represented “a meaningful opportunity” for the aerospace giant.
Here’s a segment from that interview:
