If there’s anything we’ve learned over the past few years, it’s that President Trump is a man who loves nicknames.

There was “Crooked Hillary” “Low IQ Maxine” “Little Marco” “Moonbeam Jerry” “Low-energy Jeb” “Cryin’ Chuck” “Liddle Adam” “Sloppy Steve” “Lyin’ Ted” “Cheatin’ Obama” & “Pocahontas.”

But yesterday, amid a power struggle with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, something unusual happened.

Trump seemed to reach for a nickname, only to come up empty.

“Nancy Pelosi, or Nancy, as I call her, doesn’t want to hear the truth.”

Yes, it would appear Trump attempted to disparage Pelosi by calling her…. her name.

Nancy.

Most on Twitter seemed to agree it was not his best work:

Trump’s got his wall, it’s called Nancy!

That two of the very few people Trump doesn’t have a nickname for are Vladimir Putin and Nancy Pelosi should tell us all how much power Nancy has #SOTA #TrumpShutdown

He stayed up late coming up with that one. "Nancy Pelosi, or as I like to call her, 'Nancy'."

If Trump needs a nickname for Pelosi, I suggest "Spankin' Nancy." Because she's kicking his butt. And apparently he respects that. #ForbesMagazine

Trump finally has a nickname for Nancy Pelosi: "Nancy, as I call her". That's what he came up with after all this time.

My read of this that Donald Trump believes he invented the name “Nancy.” Very cool.
