Mulvaney: Trump is "the most recognizable name in English language, probably the world"

[fleur-de-lisa]

Mulvaney: "I would simply ask you all to consider the possibility that Donald Trump's brand is probably strong enough as it is, and he doesn't need any help on that. This is not like -- it's the most recognizable name in the English language, and probably around the world."

OMFG! What is wrong with these people?

1. The name Hitler is pretty recognizable, too Mick

What's your point? Because right now it just sounds stupid.

[katmondoo]

14. Just the name I was ready to post

Reading "Address Unknown" by Kressmann Taylor Letters to two friends one American and the other returning to Germany 1932 from America. Fascinating how the German feels in 1933 about Hitler. They see him as the savior of the German people.

2. .........

so is Putin.

3. I can think of a few more recognizable names, some good and some not so good:

Kennedy, Obama, Jesus, Churchill, Stalin, Hitler, just to name a few. Recognition isn't always a positive thing. And the value of Trump's "brand" has been steadily declining.

4. chief of staff promoting the Trump org brand on gov't time...

20. Excuse me while I go dump a trump......I'll flush--twice.

5. Be nice

their tiny brains can only hold so much.

[nolabear]

6. Preceded by the word FUCK in many languages.

7. tRUMP: the name written on bathroom walls around the world.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. I think it's the most cussed name in the world. I can't speak it

without preceding it with "f**king".

[Blue Owl]

9. I thought Santorum was on everyone's lips

[Disaffected]

17. EEEUUU

[OhZone]

10. The real question is -

will Benedict Arnold or Trump end up the ultimate traitor name?

I think Trump.

Oh well.

11. Trying to undercut articles of impeachment related to emoluments. Control the narrative.

12. is he claiming he's more popular than jesus?

[dhill926]

13. And rhymes with chump, dump, lump...etc.

[eppur_se_muova]

15. No, you're thinking of 'Dick'.

Easy to see where that would cause confusion.

[UTUSN]

16. Note to MULVANEY: So is HITLER, so what's your point?!1

[Roland99]

18. Give that man a case of chapstick for his ass kissing lips

[Vinca]

19. Yes, yes it is. But not in a good way (think revenue at Trump properties nose diving).

There's a reason people were having the name ripped off their apartment buildings.

[kentuck]

21. I thought of Lennon...

...more popular than Jesus.

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. That's why all tenants of buildings with "Trump" on have taken it off if they had the power

I mean, the word "shit" is fairly universally recognised too. What Trump needs help with is (a) his bank balance (b) the reputation of his Doral resort. There will be some fools who'll think "if the G7 leaders stayed there, they must have cleaned the place up".

23. Brand or punchline
