President Donald Trump polled his Truth Social followers on whether they prefer the nickname “Dumocrat” or “Dumbocrat” for his political opponents.
The president, who shared the survey Saturday morning, also gave his followers a spelling lesson, claiming that “many people don’t know” how to spell the word dumb.
“POLL: Which do you prefer, Dumocrat or Dumbocrat? In one case, you simply exchange the “e” for “u,” so simple and precise (Many people don’t know, or assume, that DUMB ends in “b”),” the president wrote. “In the other case, you spell out DUMB, but it seems to lose some of the identity to Democrats when done this way. Which is better?”
The poll had more than 60,000 votes as of Saturday afternoon.
But that wasn’t the only question Trump had for his followers. He shared another poll an hour later, asking whether he should add the word “National” to the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, so that agency personnel are referred to as “NICE agents” rather than “ICE agents.”
Trump said he’s considering the change because of the “hostility” towards ICE personnel, caused by “Dumocrats and the Fake News.” He also claimed that switching to “NICE” would “totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists.”
“For them to say, ‘We went to a NICE Facility today,’ as opposed to ‘ICE’ or, ‘NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer,’ they won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy,” the president wrote.
“All it means is adding an ‘N’ (’National’) to ‘ICE (‘Immigration and Customs Enforcement’) — A much more prestigious name,” he continued. “Everyone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population. Who thinks that we should add an ‘N’ to change the name of ‘ICE’ to ‘NICE?’”
