Here’s an idea: maybe the President of the United States shouldn’t be spending his time thinking of catchy/rude nicknames for his political rivals whether they are “working” or not. Maybe he should try to act like an actual grown up and lead the country. Just a random thought
The name “Sleepy” Joe Biden should be retired. It’s not working for Trump, and after 3 1/2 years of red hot Trump, and now the pandemic, many voters may welcome a quieter, sleepier era, thinking Biden is the right anecdote, even if they think he’s kind of old and lacks energy.
