Donald Trump
The chat's most-mentioned political figure. 452 corpus mentions spanning 2020-08-01 → 2026-05-13 and all six members for whom the topic has come up. The chat treats Trump principally as a vehicle for sub-jokes about his rhetoric; no member has ever in the corpus voted for him.
Donald Trump
The chat's most-mentioned political figure. 452 corpus mentions spanning 2020-08-01 → 2026-05-13 and all six members for whom the topic has come up.
Donald Trump is, by message volume, the chat's most-mentioned political figure and one of the chat's largest single proper-noun referents overall (the count exceeds that of Hoen by some distance, though it falls behind Twitter). Mentions span the corpus's entire 2020-08-01 → 2026-05-13 window, with the heaviest concentrations in autumn 2020, summer 2024 → autumn 2024, and the post-inauguration early 2025.
Per-member share
Of the 452 mentions:
- Evan Bbbender: 139 (31%)
- Daniel Miller: 91 (20%)
- Matt: 74
- Cullen Conway: 70
- Kyle Derrick: 69
- Brian Ambuel: 9
Max Lieberman is, in the corpus, the only member who has not posted Trump by name in any preserved message. The chat's preferred summary is that all six who do post about Trump do so in the same general register (mockery, bewilderment, and tabloid commentary).
First mention
The earliest in-corpus mention is by Cullen Conway on 2020-08-01:
"Evan, you stoked that Trump banned tik tok?" — Cullen Conway, 2020-08-01
The form — Evan, you stoked — is the chat's preferred mode of routing political news to the member most likely to have a strong opinion about it. (See also Evan Bbbender for the chat's general convention of using Evan as a discourse-channel.)
"Herr trump"
The chat's first stable Trump-honorific is from the 2020-08-28 Republican National Convention thread:
"Herr trump!" — Evan Bbbender, 2020-08-28
The form — German Herr substituted for the English honorific Mr. — is the corpus's only documented Trump-Germanic-honorific usage and recurs as a chat-internal register intermittently.
The 2020 election arc
The chat's most-extended Trump-related arc is the November 2020 election week, in which Trump appears in essentially every other message between the polls' close and the eventual Biden call. See Edging for the chat's preferred verb for the period and Biden for the eventual called-it counterpart. Kyle Derrick supplies the era's most-quoted Trump-loss-anticipation line:
"If trump loses any of his base will not accept that the election was won fairly" — Kyle Derrick, 2020-11-05
"Trump has been stone cold stunnered"
The chat's most-quoted single Trump-as-pro-wrestler line is by Kyle Derrick on 2023-05-24:
"Trump has been stone cold stunnered" — Kyle Derrick, 2023-05-24
The construction — Stone Cold Steve Austin's signature move applied to Trump — is the chat's only documented Trump-and-WWE crossover and is the encyclopedia's preferred summary of the chat's mid-2023 Trump frame.
"Trump ratfucking Elon"
Matt's 2024-11-14 post is the chat's most-quoted post-election Trump-and-Elon line:
"Trump ratfucking Elon will be very funny" — Matt, 2024-11-14
The line is the corpus's only documented Trump-Elon ratfucking prediction and is the encyclopedia's preferred reference for the chat's post-2024-election expectations.
"Trump blowing Bubba"
Brian Ambuel's 2025-11-15 post is one of his rare Trump-related contributions and is preserved as the chat's most-cited late-period Trump-tabloid headline:
"I'm loving that Trump blowing Bubba is top of the discourse. Perfect addition to 2025" — Brian Ambuel, 2025-11-15
