T., you're far more than a political cartoonist extraordinaire; you often prompt learning w/o assigning homework! For me, today's lesson concerned the newest nickname of Herr Orange, which made me ever so thankful I'd hesitated to take my next sip of tea, as Creampuff came into view. I swear my laptop cannot survive another spritzing. Of all the possible nicknames...with many coming to mind as I type...that one was genius!

It also spurred me too inquire about what the proper term for such nicknames might be. Turns out they were called code names, prior to the joys of encryption, while today, they are properly called nicknames. My learning curve ascends; the families now choose their own, each beginning with the same letter. As you may have already guessed, I looked up today's inhabitants of our formerly glorious WH: Mogul and Muse, no real surprise or creativity there...plus the offspring, Mountaineer, Marvel, Marksman and Mechanic. I mustn't go on; just take a guess and then understand how ironic, and prescient they were, As always, tysm Trev. .👍😉

The secret Service also call him "SepticTank" when having to ride in the same car with him.

Best cartoon ever — It applies to so much more about the Orange Ogre than just his fear of flying on Air Force 1 (the real one, not the grift one).
