About

President Tweety is a pejorative nickname given to President Donald Trump by presidential nominee Vice President Joe Biden in reference to the President's Twitter usage.

Origin

On May 18th, 2020, Vice President Biden participated in a Facebook Watch video for the AAPI Victory Fund. In the video, at about four minutes and 30 seconds, he said, "Trump is out there tweeting again this morning. I call him 'President Tweety.' ‘Reopen the country’--How are we supposed to do that if you're sitting on the money small businesses need? Stop tweeting about it. Get the money out to Main Street" (video show below).



Spread

Foillowing the speech, the press began sharing the quote. For example, Fox News campaign reporter Allie Raffa tweeted[1] the quote, receiving more than 200 likes (shown below, left). Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly shared[2] an article about the name and wrote, "People not named Trump should really stop playing the nickname game. No one seems very good at it and it’s embarrassing." The tweet received more than 5,500 likes and 630 retweets in less than 24 hours (shown below, center).

Other supporters of the president, including his son, Donald Trump Jr. reacted to the name. He wrote,[3] "'President Tweety' is exactly the type of high quality nickname that you would expect to come from someone who uses the phrase 'lying dog-faced pony soldier' like it's a normal thing to say. So cringeworthy! 🤣🤣🤣." The post received more than 43,000 likes and 9,800 retweets in less than 24 hours (shown below, right).
