Trump floats new word for GOP lawmakers who support his agenda

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday morning, and mused out loud about a possible new name for the majority of the Republican Party that remains loyal to him.

"There is a new word for a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, which is almost everyone (GREAT POLICY IS THE KEY!)" wrote Trump. "It is, TEPUBLICAN??? Or, TPUBLICAN???"

Trump did not elaborate further on this, or whether he came up with the term or simply saw it somewhere else.

Over the years, Trump-loyal Republicans have gone by a number of names, one of the most common being MAGA Republicans, after Trump's original Make America Great Again slogan.

The president has also prided himself in the past on assigning derogatory nicknames to anyone in either party who gets in his way, from "Lil Marco" Rubio and "Lyin' Ted" Cruz during the 2016 primary cycle, to "Crooked Hillary" Clinton and "Sleepy Joe" Biden when he was running in general elections, to his attacks on 2024 rival Ron DeSantis as "DeSanctis," "DeSanctimonious," or "Meatball."

Some political observers have argued that the quality of Trump's nicknames is going downhill.
