Line 26:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "You're fired." Inverted regularly in the season finales of ''The Apprentice'', when he announces "You're hired."
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Trump's resurgence in business which was symbolized by the, erm...[[All Psychology Is Freudian|erection]] of a 68-story Trump Tower in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Trump was so happy with the finished product, he sprouted '''more''' "Trump Towers" in major cities throughout the U.S., including one which looms directly over the U.N. Headquarters. Now you ''can't'' ignore his girth.
* [[Didn't Think This Through]]: His first assassination attempt. Michael Steven Sandford, a
* [[Egopolis]]: Trump 'brands' his buildings with the '''''Trump''''' name displayed prominently, often placing large gold [[Calling Card|"T"]] symbols throughout the interior rooms. He probably has a caped uniform with a "T" [[Chest Insignia|on its chest]] in his closet, too.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: With Bernie Sanders, who attempted to get the Democrat party's nomination in 2016 but lost narrowly to Hillary Clinton. Trump repeatedly encouraged Sanders during the primary. The media universally acknowledged it was a transparent attempt to peel Bernie voters away from Hillary Clinton, though did not necessarily see it as untruthful. With a third party hacking revealing Democrat internal communications always talked as though Hillary would be the nominee the suggestion the primary was rigged wound up very appropriate.
Line 33:
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/03/trump-gay-people-should-n_n_856951.html He opposes gay marriage because of new trends in golf putter preference.]
* [[The Nicknamer]]: The ability to push nicknames on people and make them stick is considered one of his greatest rhetorical strengths of his 2016 election campaign. The nicknames reflect basic sorting of threat levels, which more minor opponents being called "[[The Napoleon|Little]] Marco" or "Low Energy Jeb" while his biggest primary opponent was "Lying Ted" and general election opponent dubbed "Crooked Hillary"
* [[No Such Thing as Bad Publicity]]: Trump managed to sail through the 2016 Republican primary with minimal spending by ensuring the media '''never''' stopped stopped talking about him. Their constant airing hit pieces against him, most of which could never manage arguments beyond name calling, ensured that by the end of the primary ''everyone'' knew Trump wanted to build a border wall despite minimal ads on the subject.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: You've got to admit he can laugh at himself like at his roast and originally at the White House Correspondent's Dinner before [[It's Personal|the jokes against him got more scathing]], which is unusual for someone so card-carryingly vain.
* [[Self-Made Man]]: In the sense that he [[Half Truth|inherited his business]], went broke (bankrupting a ''casino'' is, as many have noted, no mean feat), and then rebuilt himself.
