Throughout the campaign trail this year Donald Trump has come up with nicknames for political rivals. “Lyin Ted” for Ted Cruz, “Little Marco” for Marco Rubio and his latest nickname “Crooked Hillary” for Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton. John Kasich is waiting for his nickname.
The Washington Post is out today looking into Trump’s methodology of nicknaming rivals.
On March 26, we wrote about how after Ted Cruz called Donald Trump a “sniveling coward” someone registered snivelingcoward.com and pointed that at Trump’s Twitter account.
LyinTed.com was registered in March when Mr. Trump coined the nickname. The registrant bought up the net/org/info and .us to go with the .com.
The .com is developed, screenshot:
The CrookedHillary.com registrant must have had a crystal ball because they registered the domain a couple weeks before Mr. Trump officially coined the nickname.
The website is for sale and is accepting donations. The home page makes clear they are not a non profit, but rather grassroots organization. Other extensions were registered on April 17 like net/org/us.
Domain Shame says
Cool story.
Truth Hurts says
Kasich’s could be irrelevant John.
STRIKER says
YES! HAHAHAHA!!!!
Kasich 2016 says
I know nothing about domain names but LyinTed.com spelled independent wrong, LOL.
Kasich is a good man but people care about celebrity and obnoxious. Kasich 2016.
Spencer says
Kasich is a smug phoney.
STRIKER says

Basically, my guess is whoever donates to crookedhillary.com is being ripped off. Suckers.
