** After Rosie, [[Barack Obama]] was this to him somewhat briefly.
** Jeb Bush was one of his main targets in terms of his opponents during the race for the Republican nomination, with the now infamous line about Jeb being "low-energy"
** [[Hillary Clinton]] even beyond the natural result of being presidential nominees from opposite parties, due to her alleged criminal history. Furthermore, while Trump did echo the 'Birther' conspiracy accusations at various points from 2011 to mid-2016 before finally repudiating them, Hillary's accusation that Trump originated the whole thing did not sit well with him due to the whole 'Birtherism' scandal dating back to the 2008 election (and possibly to a member of Hillary's campaign staff, although reports vary), well before Trump ever had a public opinion on the topic.<ref>Cites: [http://www.factcheck.org/2015/07/was-hillary-clinton-the-original-birther/ factcheck.org] [[http://blogswww.wsjtelegraph.comco.uk/lawnews/2014worldnews/01barackobama/298478044/supremeBirther-courtrow-oustsbegan-attorneywith-whoHillary-suedClinton-to-oust-obama/supporters.html blogswww.telegraph.wsjco.comuk] [[http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2008/08/penn-strategy-memo-march-19-2008/37952/ theatlantic.com].</ref>
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Might also be interpreted as a [[Prophetic Name]], given his knack for trumpeting himself. His ancestral name was Drumpf, which was changed to Trump [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_(Last_Week_Tonight) sometime in the 17th century]. This factoid prompted [[Last Week Tonight]] to produce "Make Donald Drumpf Again" hats.
* [[Badass]]: He got a very credible threat to his life a week or two before his presidential election, to the point the Secret Service had to evac him from the speech he was giving, but instead of letting it stick, he simply went right back to the podium a few minutes later and continued speaking. In fact, throughout his entire presidential campaign he's been the target of more than one confirmed assassination attempt and refused to quit appearing in public, even making a point of refusing to be cowed into doing so.
