Andrew Yang says he knows what President Donald Trump’s nickname will be for him, if they ever have a social media spat.
Yang told Politico that Trump will call him “Comrade Yang.”
“Because it’s a little racist, a little socialist, communist,” Yang said.
Trump is well known for providing nicknames. He’s often branded his political nicknames that disparage or insult their characters. For example, he’s called Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe” and Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” based off her claim of Native American ancestry, according to Business Insider. He’s also called Bernie Sanders “Crazy Bernie Sanders.”
Trump has yet to call out Yang with a particular nickname.
But Yang still gave Trump some praise in his interview with Politico.
“I think President Trump correctly called out many of the problems that are facing the American people,” Yang told Politico. “And I also do not think it’s a bad thing to engage with leaders that we don’t agree with. I think that sometimes those sorts of engagements can lead to very positive results.”
