      it is. caught on after Biden called him that. as jabba the cunt is someone who loves seeing and hearing his own name everywhere, some people use ways other than his name to refer to him. TFG is one of them.

      of course there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be interpreted as this fucking guy/goon/git etc

      …i’ve always read it as the former guy but presumed that folks embrace the ambiguity of that f*cking guy

        I could have worded it a little better, some may have read it as he’ll be in office soon (no longer former) where I meant it as he’s more former than former, the former guy once removed, or something.
