Donald Trump became widely known during his 2016 presidential campaign, his subsequent presidency from 2017 to 2021, and his post-presidency for using nicknames to criticize, insult, or otherwise express commentary about media figures, politicians, and foreign leaders.[1][2][3][4][5]
The list excludes commonly used hypocorisms such as "Mike" for "Michael" or "Steve" for "Steven", unless they are original to Trump. Nicknames that Trump did not originate are annotated with footnotes.

The press identified thirteen of the seventeen attorneys as either being registered to vote as Democrats or making contributions to Democratic candidates. Those not identified as such are denoted with a star(★).[118] It is unclear whether this was the criterion Trump used to distinguish 13 out of 17 individuals since Trump did not detail which thirteen individuals he included in the nickname. |
