To have realised that in our house

[MoreBushThanMoss]

... We have now totally replaced the word "fart" with "doing a Donald" (Trump)

It started as a (shit) joke, but now we find ourselves saying "has the baby just done a Donald?! Or was it the dog?" And "DP will you please not drop Donalds just before people are coming round?"

Of course I never do a Donald

AIBU to hope this catches on, as a subversive way to express discomfort with the election of the new Pres across the pond?

We say the same in our house!

My American niece thinks it's hilarious that the new President is named after an unpleasant bodily function!

It's not totally accurate.
Most of Donald's hot air comes from his mouth not his bum

That's amazing I'm totally stealing this.

We do this too. My DS started it last year. I can't say that it honestly makes me feel any better about it but it makes the DCs split their sides

Myself and dp have done this as well.

It's always more amusing when I have done a Donald, for some reason

I'm definitely going to start doing this.

Brilliant!

I think I will start doing this now.
I might even say "It wasn't me, it was Donald!"

My husband is called Donald, so I don't think it would work in our house. He already gets grumbly and Trump calling himself The Donald and we are reminded often that he isn't THE donald, just A Donald and not the best one at that.

Sorry, should say grumbly about...

zippy

So sick of everyone saying 'the donald' - where did it even come from? I blame John snow!

Well I'm not sure where you are OP but we're in South Devon and my DD has started saying it (7yo) and all her class do. Let's spread the word!!!

And I think anyone who refuses to own up to doing the fart should be told they're 'doing a clinton'

yup, we say this too!

(and my 9 yr old does), we're iin N Wales

Chris Evans was using this on his show this morning! DD and I did have to laugh!

I think that is incredibly unfair to farts, they're not that offensive they should be compared to him.

This is EXCELLENT . We split our time between London and Yorkshire... So that's two counties covered... tryagain has Devon, hush and her boy are spreading Donalds around N Wales... Can anyone else help make this "the thing"??

anonymous - he's stealing my material??

I'm calling points of view

This is brilliant. I'm going to see if I can get my son to start it.

Sister announced (via whatsapp nach) that DN had done a trump in trumpington! Classy family I have

Same, only they seem to be turning into Donalds.

We say it too! It was our 9 year old DS who started it, apparently everyone at school says it.
