    Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff previously said on The Daily Beast Podcast that the president has a less-than-flattering nickname for one of his most loyal henchmen: “Weird Stephen.”

    Honestly, even with his brain mostly rotted away now, little glimpses of Trump’s idiot-savant ability to bully at a grandmaster level can still shine through sometimes.

        “Meatball Ron” was another stroke of real genius. “Sloppy Steve” was another decently good one, but honestly, “Weird Stephen” is fuckin’ perfection.

          Each one sounds like he lost his train of thought mid-utterance, distantly heard himself finish the “nickname”, and is too much of a wuss to not double down & own it, every time.
