Line 54:
* [[Never Accepted in His Hometown]]: Trump joins [[James K. Polk]] as the only Presidential candidate to lose both his home state and state of residence while still winning the election. Unlike Polk these are the same state (New York).
* [[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 ensured that by the end of the primary ''everyone'' knew Trump wanted to build a border wall despite minimal ads on the subject. This continued in the general election where over sixteen major publications redistributed a graphic he posted, claiming its use of a six pointed star (supposedly a Star of David) was supposedly a hidden anti-Semitic agenda at no cost to him.
* [[No, You]]: One gets the feeling that most of the insults lobbed by Trump are things that he himself has been called. There was that time he [http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37187531 called Hillary Clinton a bigot], for instance. Of course, given the sheer number and variety of insults aimed at Donald Trump during his lifetime he finds it essentially impossible to avoid this trope whenever he himself insults anyone for anything.
* [[Nouveau Riche]]: To a degree. His father was a very successful low income housing developer in NYC, he sent Donald to Fordham, so his family was doing very well before. Donald just took his love of construction and everything else [[Up to Eleven]]. Trump has noted his family was not welcome among the "old money" families from different parts of New York.
* [[The One Thing I Don't Hate About You]]: Hillary Clinton cited his children at the debates as her compliment.
