Whether you love him or not, you have to admit that Donald Trump has a gift for branding — especially when it comes to people.
Whether it’s Crooked Hillary, Low-energy Jeb!, Rocketman, Sloppy Steve or Pocahontas (although Trump didn’t come up with this one, he can be credited for bringing it into the mainstream) those monikers (and more) given by Trump have all had a way of sticking, and now he’s granted one of Illinois’ top Democrats with one of his own…
“Dicky Durbin.”
?NEW NICKNAME ALERT? –. “Dicky Durbin” https://t.co/X7DhFZgCYT

Sen. Dick Durbin is in the President’s cross hairs for claiming he heard Trump call poor countries like Haiti “sh*tholes” during a closed-door meeting. Trump denied ever saying it, and several Republicans at the meeting claimed they never heard Trump use the term.
Dick(y) Durbin, however, maintained that Trump is guilty, but walked back his statement to make the accusation a little more ambiguous.
The controversy brought out President Trump’s, ahem, creative side and “Dicky Durbin” was born.
Senator Dicky Durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the DACA meeting. Deals can’t get made when there is no trust! Durbin blew DACA and is hurting our Military.

It’s OK, to laugh… for better or worse, all of Twitter sure did.
Liberal elites hated it:
It took President Genius four days, and the best he could come up with was “Dicky.” Sad. https://t.co/rKTR8Vs8Q4

ya, see. Trump added a y to Dick to make the Senator’s name into “Dicky.” It’s a play on words!!!
Pretty remarkable move on Trump’s part to think of that. That’s why he’s the president i suppose. https://t.co/Zh1L9RUedM

But others didn’t seem to mind the new name and had fun with it, even though they may have missed “Dicky Durbin’s” simplistic genius.
Dirty Durbin is muuuuuuuuch better

Durtbag Durbin would have been better.

Welp, we know the drill! Soon ‘Dicky’ Durbin will be the next to break and go full nutter.

“Tricky Dicky!” Now, that’s got a nice ring to it. Don’t be surprised if Trump picks that up.
And those apparently familiar with Illinois politics thought the name was spot-on:
1) Let me tell you a story about Dicky Durbin, the Senate Minority Whip and Democrat from Illinois. He is one of the vilest, thuggish, and despicable Democrats in the Senate, and that is saying somethinghttps://t.co/Ig26u46YvE
