== S-U ==
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]:
* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: Trump as President was described as "norm-breaking" and as willfully ignoring the limits, both written and unwritten, to a President's power and behavior.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: Trump 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]]. [[Frontline]] even claimed it was Obama's jokes about Trump that caused Trump to run for president seriously.
** Inverted when he became President and skipped both White House Correspondence Dinners (2017 and 2018). Comedians
* [[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. He did receive a "small loan of million dollars", the
* [[Shame If Something Happened]]: How some commentators [https://twitter.com/sams1stdaughter/status/1187796927125032960 characterized] [https://3ci6gd82qqe3lh3ugujrds6j-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/18918566_web1_191010-BIR-trump140-HEROS57.jpg his efforts] [https://www.noozhawk.com/article/daryl_cagle_ukraine_extortion_and_donald_trump_20190925 to bully other countries] [https://3ci6gd82qqe3lh3ugujrds6j-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/18918566_web1_191010-BIR-trump140-HEROS45.jpg into doing things for him].
* [[Sore Loser]]: A consistent theme throughout his life and his presidency -- Trump ''cannot'' bear to be seen as losing at ''anything'', and has used lawsuits and lies to challenge anything that makes him look like a "loser". He's insisted every election he's been in has been "rigged" so as to give any loss the appearance of illegitimacy, no more so than in the wake of losing to Biden in November 2020. Trump ''immediately'' declared that there had been a massive conspiracy of organized voter fraud to deny him his rightful re-election. He and his enablers then spent ''months'' after the 2020 election filing dozens of ultimately futile lawsuits in order to overturn its results. In December 2020 he was reported to be considering declaring martial law to prevent his removal from power. In early January 2021 he attempted to bully his own vice president into illegally declaring him the winner, and when that failed he incited a mob to storm the Capitol Building in an unsuccessful attempt to ''seize'' the government. He never formally conceded, and all the way up to Biden's Inauguration refused to mention him by name.
Line 274:
* [[Spell My Name with a "The"]]: Nicknamed "The Donald", after his first wife Ivana Trump referred to him as such in an interview.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: So characterized by both sides of the aisle in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. "We're watching a petulant child not getting his way throw a tantrum," a senior Republican was [https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/23/politics/donald-trump-pardons-stimulus/index.html quoted as saying by CNN] in late December 2020, in regards to Trump's refusal to let the election result go unchallenged.
* [[The Teetotaler]]: Donald Trump
* [[Terrified of Germs]]: Has been said to avoid pressing buttons and shaking hands.
** When President he would go out of his way to avoid touching people or even going into crowds. Some believed it was at least part of the reason he refused to address the COVID-19 pandemic for months.
