Line 107:
** Lisa Lampanelli did this funnier than anyone: "What do you say to a barber to get him to cut your hair like that? I fucked your daughter?"
** In one ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' strip, his toupee was revealed to be a live squirrel.
* [[Eagle Land]]: Trump himself and his supporters endorse and aspire to - with varying amount of success - Type 1 (America, Fuck Yeah!). His political campaigning, both before and after being elected, is generally Type 1 related, emphasizing how he wants to help the U.S and make Americans proud of their country once more ("Make/Keep America Great Again"). Trump's detractors consider him the embodiment of many of the qualities of Type 2. Foreign observers also tend to perceive him as Type 2 as well.
* [[Egopolis]]: Trump 'brands' his buildings with the '''''Trump''''' name displayed prominently, often placing large gold [[Calling Card|"T"]] symbols throughout the interior rooms.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: In the 2016 Presidential campaign, especially since he won.
Line 207:
* [[Volleying Insults]]:
** The 2016 Republican party debates generally devolved into this.
** The 2020 presidential debates also ended up like this, for the most part (with constant interruptions, not helped by clearthe biasinability fromof the moderator of the first, Chris Wallace, to maintain a semblance of order).
* [[Weasel Words]]: In the strict sense of using ambiguous phrases, claims or appeals to vague and unverifiable sources. ie. "a lot of people are saying/many people have said".<ref>[https://www.yahoo.com/news/many-people-saying-trump-tweet-000000450.html Many people are saying] ''yahoo.com''</ref> He claims "many people have told him" he should fire Robert Mueller.<ref>[http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/382378-trump-many-people-have-said-i-should-fire-mueller Many people have said fire Mueller] ''thehill.com''</ref> His speech patterns are characteristically ''weaselly'' in the rhetorical sense of invoking ''an unsubstantiated mass of people who miraculously agree with your opinion''. Without backing it up, this is a way of [[Blatant Lies|disguising your agenda]].<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_word Weasel Words] ''wikipedia.org''</ref>
** He even inverts this by accusing the media of making up sources.<ref>[https://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/28/trump-fake-news-media-238894 Trump claims media makes up sources] ''politico.com''</ref>
