President Joe Biden knows exactly how to get under Donald Trump’s thin skin, and he’s doing it again by giving the failed, one-term and twice-impeached former president a nickname that’s certain to push the Donald’s buttons.
Biden was speaking at a community college in Maryland and noted that Trump was one of just two president’s in U.S. history who left office with fewer jobs than when he began.
“One was President Hoover, and the other was Donald Hoover Trump. My predecessor promised to be the greatest job president in history. Well, it didn’t really work out that way. He lost 2 million jobs over the course of his presidency.”

Biden is absolutely correct, and that makes his new nickname for Trump even more devastating, as Forbes noted back in 2021.
“(Trump was) the first post–World War II president to see employment fall during his presidency. It last occurred when Herbert Hoover left office in 1933 amid the early years of the Great Depression.”
How many jobs were lost on Trump’s watch? According to the Washington Post, which used Labor Department figures, 3 million American jobs were lost while Trump was in office.
Biden’s latest burn was greeted with cheers on Twitter.
lol! The perfect middle name for the criminal defendant….. luv it. I'm sure President Biden, said that on purpose. Great humor 💙.

You know since Donald Trump loves nicknames so much, we should start using this one for him as well. I think it has a nice flow to it.

I’m confused. I thought the Donald “Hoover” Trump moniker was already taken by Jr? pic.twitter.com/rLtBflNeeQ

…and we call him Donald "Hoover" Trump because like the vacuum cleaners of the same name, he SUCKS.
