Republicans Backed Trump. Here's What They Voted For...

Republicans Backed Trump. Here's What They Voted For...
Fri, 11/16/2018 - by Ryan Flanders and John Ficarra

"POTUS" is an acronym political journalists frequently use when talking about the President of the United States. However, "POTUS" seems a woefully soft and inadequate word to describe the current occupant of the Oval Office. We humbly suggest that the word "TRUMP" is itself an acronym.
