Some people are so well-known, they need only one name. For instance, there's Adele, Cher, Beyoncé, Bono, Oprah, and now — thanks to Donald Trump's nicknaming genius — "Crooked." Yes, that's "Crooked" as in "Crooked Hillary Rodham Clinton," Trump's chosen nickname for the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
In a tweet Thursday, Trump took the liberty of treating "Crooked" as just another part of Clinton's given name, with an image that read, in parentheses, "Crooked has spent $500,000 a day in TV ads":
The question now is, who's next to get the one-name treatment? Will it be "Low-energy"? "Liddle"? "Goofy"?
