I added TFG / The Former Guy as a name for Trump. It was immediately reverted on the grounds that it's not in common usage. I'd say it's very common. There's about 765,000 hits on Google right now. There's an entry for it at Dictionary.com https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/tfg/ It's one of the items on the disambiguation page for TFG It's definitely common enough to be included. Can we please add it.
P01135809 is trump's nickname due to his arrest. 2602:306:BC74:6240:9D85:60:797:9E40 ( talk) 03:57, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
Is this simply too controversial to officially apply to Donald Trump? I don't see this being far off from "Tricky Dick" for Nixon. Tguillea ( talk) 10:15, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
For a nickname to be here it has to be used by either large parts of the American population or important people (politicians, media people, etc). "Genocide Joe" has neither of this characteristics. It is only used by a couple hundred people on Twitter and Reddit. It is incorrect to believe this terminally-online term used only by a fringe group of left-wing extremists is important enough to be on this list. That's why it should be deleted.

"Bassem Youssef slams "Genocide Joe," says he lost "Superman" role after speaking out about Palestine". Salon.

That is him, because he doesn't even have the honor to be Genocide Joe, because he's a geriatric, he's senile, he's old, and he doesn't know even what he's doing.

This list is intended to note those nicknames that were in common use at the time they were in office or shortly thereafter.Does common use mean just some protestors? If so, this would be a very long article as some protestors have used large numbers of names for each president, which have not stood the test of time. Where have reliable sources used this in their own voice or indicated that it is in common use among the populace? I've removed well over a dozen insulting nicknames used for Trump because they are documented in RS, but not in common use and will be forgotten. The same should be true for Biden or any other president. Keep in mind that this is an historical article going back nearly three centuries. It should not include every name shouted in anger. This is an encyclopedia. Patience, there is WP:NODEADLINE. O3000, Ret. ( talk) 15:07, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
