Among the things President Trump seems to pride himself on is branding his opponents with some devastating nicknames.
This should not be news to anyone even casually paying attention. From low-energy Jeb Bush to Lyin Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican primary to Crooked Hillary Clinton in the general election, Trump has continued the mocking nicknames through his presidency. There is even a long Wikipedia page devoted to tracking all of the monikers.
But his nickname for Joe Biden, Sleepy Joe, just doesnt seem to be effective in bringing him down. Biden is up double digits in national polling and leading in six important swing states, which would easily make Biden the next president. Of course, theres a lot more behind those polls than an ineffective nickname.
That said, the polls have caused Trump apparently to rethink the Biden nickname, at least according to the Washington Post, which reported he is considering changing Bidens nickname. The options? Swampy Joe, Creepy Joe, and Corrupt Joe.
