Trump and Tonic




The use of a train phrase is a classic metaphor.



It is common to hear something you can’t stop described as a “freight train.”



This metaphor has a bonus for Trump that it forms an alliterative phrase “Trump Train.”



Another example of alliteration is: nattering nabobs of negativism.



That phrase was used by Vice President Spiro Agnew to refer to the members of the media with whom he had a very acrimonious relationship.
