Staff Reports
The former President has been given a nickname by Biden’s team and White House workers. They reportedly refer to him as “Hitler Pig” in private conversations. The nickname started being used after Mr. Trump had dinner with rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Nick Fuentes, who has expressed doubts about the Holocaust, at his Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida. The nickname is used when Mr. Trump says something outrageous or uses rhetoric that reminds them of Adolf Hitler. This particular nickname is used by younger, more digitally active individuals instead of senior workers. They even share clips of Mr. Trump with comments or ask their colleagues if they saw what “Hitler Pig” said.

Recently, the nickname resurfaced after reports that Mr. Trump fell asleep during his hush money trial in New York. White House staffers, campaign aides, and other Democrats close to the administration used the nickname when discussing Mr. Trump’s alleged sleepiness.
Some people on social media have criticized Biden’s staffers for using the nickname, calling it a poor reflection on the White House. They found it humorless and pathetic. Mr. Trump is known for creating nicknames to mock his political opponents. He has called Mr. Biden “Sleepy Joe,” Sen. Marco Rubio “Little Marco,” former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “Crazy Nancy,” and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley “birdbrain.”
The original article contained comments from various individuals, including Marc Thiessen, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, and Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita, who criticized the use of the nickname and the source that reported it. However, the publication and its comment policy were also mentioned in the original article.
