I don't think the nickname Crapler Harris is going to stick.

Donald "Diaper Dump" Trump works better.

Im surprised no one's come up with Camel Hairs. Vaguely racist/xenophobic and mysogynist with enough wiggle room to pretend it's neither

No one's ever accused right-wingers of being creative.

They have. My FIL has routinely refered to her as "Camel hair Harris." It's childish and disgusting.

In Canada, the Conservatives came up with Trudumb for Trudeau.

Trudope was literally right there. His name is True + dope without the p at the end.

Hmm well i guess you don't have the yankee (90s? Early 2ks?) slang 'that's dope' to mean something is "cool" up there? If i got the nickname True Dope I'd lean into it.

Maybe the conservatives brought that knowledge up with their trump flags and that's why you didn't get that sweet name

We have it, but it's not very common. But that's a plausible hypothesis!
