for some reason Donald Trump doesn’t go in the category of “people named Donald” in my head. like Tom Cruise, he’s not a Tom, or a Thomas, he’s always Tom Cruise.
when I hear somebody else’s first name is donald, it doesn’t make me think of him
Yeah, but it makes me think about Donald Duck
I think of a rarely seen side character from a rather obscure British sitcom
Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.
yeah but that happened like once
Osama and Mao, but yes it’s increasingly rare. I think we tend to associate historic people with their last names more than their first names.
Mao was his surname.
I keep forgetting that Asia mostly have the family name first. But Osama still stands.
yeah, for most of the western world that was the first time we’d heard that name.
What about Donald Fuck?
I don’t think people 20+ years from now will instantly jump to Trump when they hear Donald. Just like how if you meet George you don’t think of Bush.
Yeah, Adolf really doesn’t bring anyone notable to mind.
Trump may be a very poor candidate, but he didn’t kill 13 million people.
1: Yet.
2: That isn’t even the sum of the Holocaust, much less combat casualties from the USSR alone which are absolutely on his head.
Edit: Tbf, the Holocaust numbers only beat that if you include Soviet POWs being genocided in the prison camps, so that is kind of double dipping.
Let him have another term and we’ll see how he measure up. And he’s up to a few 100k so far in my books.
Yeah, he only killed about 1.4 million.
Dammit, Donnie! These are rookie numbers! You gotta get those numbers up!
Actually curious, what is that figure?
Number of excess deaths from COVID.
What counts as excess?
Not yet. He’s certainly working on it.
Estimates are between 50 and a 100 million people.For example USSR is said to lose around 18 million people in that war.
I would suspect that people can do basic math and realize why someone was named Donald if they’re born near today. It might not immediately jump to mind, but it also wouldn’t be subtle. I would bet no one else is naming their child Donald unless it’s a family name.
It was a perfectly good name until that no-talent ass-clown ran for president.
Why should I change my name, he’s the one who sucks
Nice. Office Space reference.
Reminds me of that other name that kind of just withered away. What was it?
Oh yeah…
Adolf.
They’ll make lovely couples with the girls named Khaleesi
Why though? Glover is cool.
He’s not too happy that his parents named him “Don Glover” (dong lover) though.
One man’s dong lover is another man’s Don G. Lover…

There were a lot of German boys called Adolf back then…
I feel bad saying it but a lot of them probably aren’t vaccinated, so

Depends on how far y’all’s Trump derangement syndrome goes. Don’t tell me you’re actually considering taking it out on kids named Donald
I wouldn’t say anyone would take it out on them. But I can imagine growing up and hating your own name. I sympathize because I hate my first and middle name equally.
I can understand Nuke, but what do you have against The?
It’s got no Russian translation
Why do you hate your first name?
It’s just an ugly name, too ethnic for my liking too. Nobody ever pronounces it properly, or I’m constantly correcting or spelling out my name. It’s a pain in the ass. My middle name has the exact same issue.
I just wish I had a neutral and easy name if not a cool one. I made it a point to give my kid a good name because of it. I was named after parent’s relatives who I never knew. I just hate my name.
Well, we found the Donald Hitler.
Bullies absolutely will.
If there is USB I wonder why there is no ChinaB
