I can't wait until his ICE raids lead to widespread famine and we call joke about eating our Trump Steaks.

I'm reminded of the phrase "Hoovervilles" which was used to describe the make-shift towns built during the presidency of Herbert Hoover at the start of the Great Depression. Apparently there were multiple terms named for Hoover in that vein:

Democrats coined other similar terms that were jabs at Herbert Hoover: "Hoover blankets" were old newspapers used as blanketing, a "Hoover flag" was an empty pocket turned inside out, "Hoover leather" was cardboard used to line a shoe when the sole wore through, and a "Hoover wagon" was an automobile with horses hitched to it (often with the engine removed).

Get ready to coin a new wave of disparaging terms for the things that Trump forces us to use to survive.

I normally heard about cats being called Roof Rabbit. I figured it would be groundhog, opossum, or skunk.
