Sleepy Joe as that one is actually accurate

Neither. Dark Brandon and Scranton Joe are the ones.

Genocide Joe is actually kinda irksome, so Sleepy Joe by default.

I call him Grandpa, which could either be demeaning or endearing...

Genocide Joe is accurate.

Sleepy Joe isn't. Guy isn't actually that low-energy.

In actual speaking I haven't called the President anything other than "Brandon" or "Joe Brandon" since 2021.

Someone who unironically uses Genocide Joe gives us a good idea how seriously we should take them.

Something tells me that many of the people who use "Genocide Joe" will be silent when Genocide Donald indulges in the Israeli government's worst instincts.

Genocide Joe is an honor considering what it's actually referring to

I've never found Sleepy Joe (or any of Trump's other nicknames really) funny or clever, and I'm tired of hearing it. The left's absurd misuse of the word genocide can be funny at times but mostly it's just annoying.

Genocide Joe seems like a stretch just for The Crime Bill of '94.

Both are inaccurate, but "Sleepy Joe" is far less vitriolic.

One of my favorite books growing up was the Scholastic Encyclopedia of the Presidents and Their Times by Dave Rubel.  It had a profile of every president that included their "nickname".  I had the 2004 version that ended with George W. Bush ("Dubya") but I imagine the polite, non-partisan nicknames for the subsequent presidents would be:

Obama:  Barry
Trump:  The Donald
Biden:  Scranton Joe

To be clear: Genocide Joe is a moronic and completely inaccurate nickname. I do not by any means endorse it or the political message it conveys.

That said, there's just something so absurdly hilarious about the words "Genocide Joe" that I need to vote for it. In this case I'm laughing more at the people who actually unironically use the phrase, because I would only ever use it 100% ironically.

One of my favorite books growing up was the Scholastic Encyclopedia of the Presidents and Their Times by Dave Rubel.  It had a profile of every president that included their "nickname".  I had the 2004 version that ended with George W. Bush ("Dubya") but I imagine the polite, non-partisan nicknames for the subsequent presidents would be:

Obama:  Barry
Trump:  The Donald
Biden:  Scranton Joe

Trump's is tough; "The Donald" doesn't really feel right. Admittedly, it's tough to think of nonpartisan, neutral nicknames for him, but even so, I feel like "the Donald" is (no offense) a bit too bland, especially given how...colorful and feisty his personality is.

Tbf, "Genocide Donald" really doesn't have the same ring to it that "Genocide Joe" does. (Once again, this has nothing to do with the facts of the matter and everything to do with how absurdly, weirdly funny the nickname is.)

Good points.  I picked "The Donald" simply because it's been used the longest.  His first wife Ivana Trump used it to refer to him  during a 1989 interview with Spy magazine.  Other suggested nicknames could be "45", since Trump often wears monogrammed apparel with the number but it similarly is quite bland (and is it going to be updated to "47" if he wins? LOL).  "Teflon Don" is maybe a more colorful one and doesn't seem anymore unfriendly than "Tricky Dick" other than the John Gotti connotations.

Yeah, I think Teflon Don is way better. Nor is it all that political or a pejorative - it's a name that can be used with a negative connotation by his critics and with a positive connotation by his fan base.

I think the only wrinkle to this is that "Teflon Don" is already used as a nickname for infamous mobster John Gotti, and is probably still more associated with him (per a casual Google search.)
