Adam Schiff formerly served as the chair of the House Intelligence Committee.

One of Trump's most viral nicknames is "Little Pencil-Neck Schiff" for U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, which he first used during a Grand Rapids, Michigan, rally in March 2019.

"Little pencil-neck Adam Schiff. He's got the smallest, thinnest neck I've ever seen," the president told the crowd. "He is not a long-ball hitter, but I saw him today, 'Well, we don't really know, there still could have been some Russia collusion.'"

His official campaign website also sold T-shirts featuring a cartoon image of Schiff with a pencil replacing his neck and the text, "Little Pencil-Neck Adam Schiff. He spent two years knowingly and unlawfully lying and leaking. He should be forced to resign from Congress! Everyone should buy a Pencil-Neck Adam Schiff shirt today!"

Trump bestowed more labels on Schiff over the years, including "'Liddle' Adam Schiff," "Adam Schitt," "Shifty Schiff," and "Watermelon Head."

Donald Trump used a 'Godfather' name to call Chris Cuomo.

The Apprentice alum got a little creative and decided to label Chris Cuomo as "Fredo," a disparaging nod to the Italian American character from The Godfather.

"I think he was excellent," Trump said of Rudy Giuliani, who had a heated interview with Cuomo in September 2019. "I watched Rudy take apart Fredo. Fredo's performance was incompetent; Rudy took him apart. Rudy Giuliani took Fredo to the cleaners."

"I don't know if you saw my Twitter today, but Anthony Scaramucci wished me a happy birthday, by the way, and he says, you know, 'someone calls you sour Lemon,'" the journalist shared on Late Night With Seth Meyers. "Guess who came up with that nickname. That is a tough one to come up. I've never been called that one before."

Trump also described Lemon as the "dumbest person on Earth" after a Democratic debate in 2019 and following his firing from CNN in 2023. Additionally, the head of state labeled Lemon a "lightweight" and "dumb as a rock" on X back in August 2016.

The U.S. leader has also used the nicknames "Joe Hiden," "Sleepy Joe," and "Slow Joe" for the ex-president.

Ron DeSantis is now a key Trump ally.

The nickname kingpin has plenty of monikers for Ron DeSantis: "Ron DeSanctimonious," "Meatball Ron," and "Ron DeSanctus." However, in 2024, he denied he ever called the Florida governor "Meatball Ron."

"I will never call Ron DeSanctimonious 'Meatball' Ron, as the Fake News is insisting I will," Trump shared on Truth Social. "Even though FoxNews killing lightweight Paul Ryan is revered by him, Low Energy Jeb Bush is his hero and always at his side, his beaches and State were closed for long periods of time, his testing, testing, testing for the China Virus didn't work out too well, and his loyalty skills are really weak, it would be totally inappropriate to use the word 'meatball' as a moniker for Ron!"
