Twitter Users 'Pity The Fool' After Trump Gives Himself A Weird New Nickname

The president's attempt to thank himself goes awry on Twitter.

Overnight Editor, HuffPost

President Donald Trump on Sunday thanked himself for falling oil prices, but what stood out to many wasn’t the moment of self-congratulation.

It was a new nickname Trump gave to himself: “President T.”

So great that oil prices are falling (thank you President T). Add that, which is like a big Tax Cut, to our other good Economic news. Inflation down (are you listening Fed)!

People on Twitter were quick to chime in with some thoughts on what the “T” could stand for beyond Trump, and the obligatory Mr. T jokes:

-Gas prices are 35 cents/gal higher than Nov. ‘16
-Dropping oil prices and down- for-the-year stock market have economists warning of recession
-if you are going to call yourself President T, you have to wear chains and a mohawk https://t.co/PDhOA1JMXk

There’s about an 80% chance he called himself “President T” because he forgot how to spell the rest of his own name. https://t.co/TDO4ketZMf

Trump giving himself the friendly nickname “President T” makes me deeply uncomfortable. Like he’s trying to cast himself in the role of the good dad all of the neighborhood kids love in a 1950’s TV show. https://t.co/ioprYxY2Wq

"President T"
He's kidding, right?
"T" for:
Tiny hands? Thoughtless? Toupee?
Traitor? Tax Evader? Twatwaffle?
Treason? Trainwreck? Terrible?
Threatening? Tacky? Toddler? https://t.co/u0aArcPwbq

One way or another, Mueller's going to drop a bomb on you tomorrow. Sleep tight, "President T."

(The 'T' is for "treason," folks.)
