The Prince of Political satire was journalism colleague Mark Twain, who frequently responded to events with biting wit. Twain had a famous relationship with the AP wire, where I served as NY Bureau Chief. Speaking at the Associated Press Annual Meeting in 1906, (I was not there) he famously praised the news agency by declaring:  "There are only two forces that can carry light to all the corners of the globe, only two, the sun in the heavens and the Associated Press down here."

Some presidents, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, or Barack Obama, are famous for speeches rich in literary phrasing, metaphor, and cadence. 

POTUS public style tends to emphasize repetition, nicknames, sharp criticisms, and memorable sound bites. Does it amounts to a preference for prose, or poetry?  He deals in it but does not, but does not . Supporters often describe his language as blunt, authentic, or effective at drawing contrasts. Critics frequently characterize it as insulting, divisive, or lacking in traditional presidential decorum.

So compared with many presidents, his public rhetoric is playground confrontation and un proven messaging than to prose or factually crafted for literary effect.

Here are some names that may have rubbed him the wrong way.

• “Fattyshack” — a play on the movie title Caddyshack and Trump's weight.
• “Blob the Builder” — Bob the Builder regarding construction projects or wall-buildings .
• “Lie-ger Woods” — a pun on golfer Tiger Woods, replacing “Tiger” with “Lie” for dishonesty.
