President Donald Trump on Sunday thanked himself for falling oil prices, but what stood out to many wasn’t the moment of self-congratulation.
It was a new nickname Trump gave to himself: “President T.”
So great that oil prices are falling (thank you President T). Add that, which is like a big Tax Cut, to our other good Economic news. Inflation down (are you listening Fed)!

People on Twitter were quick to chime in with some thoughts on what the “T” could stand for beyond Trump, and the obligatory Mr. T jokes:
-Gas prices are 35 cents/gal higher than Nov. ‘16
— Bill Weir (@BillWeirCNN) November 25, 2018
-Dropping oil prices and down- for-the-year stock market have economists warning of recession
-if you are going to call yourself President T, you have to wear chains and a mohawk https://t.co/PDhOA1JMXk

There’s about an 80% chance he called himself “President T” because he forgot how to spell the rest of his own name. https://t.co/TDO4ketZMf

Trump giving himself the friendly nickname “President T” makes me deeply uncomfortable. Like he’s trying to cast himself in the role of the good dad all of the neighborhood kids love in a 1950’s TV show. https://t.co/ioprYxY2Wq

"President T"

He's kidding, right?
"T" for:
Tiny hands? Thoughtless? Toupee?
Traitor? Tax Evader? Twatwaffle?
Treason? Trainwreck? Terrible?
Threatening? Tacky? Toddler? https://t.co/u0aArcPwbq
I pity the fool who doesn’t know who the real President T is! pic.twitter.com/bGnXBhiVIE

One way or another, Mueller's going to drop a bomb on you tomorrow. Sleep tight, "President T."
— Eric Jones (@CartoonJones) November 26, 2018
(The 'T' is for "treason," folks.)
I have no pity for this fool. pic.twitter.com/SLQciqcipZ

So, what do we all think the T stands for...?

President T? More like President Tee, because all he does is golf.
