I mean, I know he is, but...you don't use quotation marks for that! Put in in capital letters or something, dear god! I mean, the fact that you're including it is already emphasis enough, since it's not usually included when people talk about him. We get what you're doing!!

I don't know why I'm so fixated on this but it really irks me. I mean, Trump's appeared in WWE events and his main shtick is insult comedy! Surely he should know that the quotation marks are for nicknames, like Jesse "The Body" Ventura or Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I guess it's just the boomer thing where they use quotes for emphasis. But like...AAAAAA ralsei-angry

Boomers don't know how use quotation marks

My take is that he's quoting the name to mock how it sounds and to imply it's made up in some way

Okay, this one actually makes sense, and I feel kind of silly for not seeing it. I must go into the mountains and hone my racism ESP to improve my comprehension of Trump tweets trump-enlightened

Scare quotes are often used to literally scare people.
