:* Political commentator Kurt Bardella used the Trope Name directly in September 2022:
{{quote|He’s an attention whore and everything always has to be about Donald. He has to make himself the center of the universe so he goes out there and plays this little flirtatious ‘will he, won’t he?’ card and it’s just designed to continue to keep that conversation going.|Kurt Bardella [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/sep/10/donald-trump-2024-election-big-tease-republicans The Guardian, September 10, 2022}}
* [[Author Vocabulary Calendar]]: Trump's frequent use of "failing" as a pejorative for any news outlet which reported anything negative about him, as though impugning the profit margins of organizations such as ''The New York Times'' was relevant to their journalistic integrity. His insistence that any television program which covered him negatively was always losing or low in ratings also testifies to Trump's obsession with winning as the only meaningful metric in life.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Trump, as the words has several meanings, including "surpass (something) by saying or doing something better". His ancestral name was Drumpf, which was changed to Trump [[w:Donald_Trump (Last Week Tonight)|sometime in the 17th century]], and has picked up steam as a pejorative (often one that falls into [[Godwin's Law]]) among his many liberal critics and detractors.
