Portuguese (Brazil & Portugal): “Laranjão” – “Big Orange” “Trumpalhão” – Blend of Trump + trapalhão (bungler) “Palhaço Americano” – “American clown” Italian “Trumpone” – Augmentative implying loudness or arrogance “Il Pagliaccio” – “The clown” “Donald lo Sbruffone” – “Donald the braggart”

French “Trump le Fou” – “Trump the Madman” “Le Bouffon” – “The jester” “Donald la Honte” – “Donald the Shame” “Trumpiste Orange” – Reference to skin tone + ideology ... And so on. Most mocked man ever, mocked more than anyone ever before? Maybe.
