Trump = nimrod

Idiom[edit]

In contemporary American English, the term is now commonly used to mean a dimwitted or a stupid person, a usage first recorded in 1932 and popularized by the cartoon character Bugs Bunny, who sarcastically refers to the hunter Elmer Fudd as "nimrod",[37][38] as an ironic connection between "mighty hunter" and "poor little Nimrod", i.e. Fudd.[39]


WHAT'S UP DOC?? LOL Scary that someone like him can be stupid, arrogant and proud of it. Only in right-wing America...
