Fact check: Which media outlets have used Trump's new nickname?

Checked on July 16, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, none of the sources directly answer which media outlets have used Trump's new nickname. The analyses reveal several different contexts around Trump's nicknames:

  • Russian media involvement: One source mentions that a Russian newspaper branded Donald Trump the "President of War" following a U.S. military operation against Iranian nuclear facilities [1]
  • Trump's nicknames for others: Multiple sources reference Trump calling Governor Gavin Newsom "Newscum" [2] [3], with Newsom responding by calling Trump "the real scum" [3]
  • Trump's nicknames for former supporters: One analysis mentions Trump using terms like "weaklings," "stupid people," "foolish," "my so-called 'friends'," "selfish people," and "boys, and, in some cases, gals" for his former supporters [4]
  • Epstein-related content: Several sources discuss Trump disowning supporters who called for Jeffrey Epstein file releases [5] [6]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question assumes the existence of a specific "new nickname" for Trump that media outlets are using, but the analyses do not provide evidence of such a nickname or its media adoption. Key missing context includes:

  • No identification of the specific "new nickname" referenced in the question
  • No documentation of media outlet usage of any particular Trump nickname
  • Lack of timeline information - most sources lack publication dates, making it difficult to determine what constitutes "new"
  • Limited scope of media coverage - the analyses focus primarily on Trump's nicknames for others rather than nicknames given to Trump

The analyses suggest that Russian media outlets like newspapers may be creating nicknames for Trump [1], but this represents foreign rather than domestic U.S. media coverage.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains a presumptive bias by assuming that:

  • A specific "new nickname" for Trump exists
  • Multiple media outlets are actively using this nickname
  • This usage is significant enough to warrant tracking

The question lacks specificity about which nickname is being referenced, making verification impossible. The analyses provided do not support the premise that media outlets are widely adopting a new Trump nickname. Instead, they show Trump creating nicknames for others [2] [3] and foreign media creating nicknames for Trump [1].

The framing could mislead readers into believing there is widespread media adoption of a Trump nickname when the available evidence does not support this conclusion.
