While Iran announced its closure of the Strait of Hormuz and accused the U.S. of violating a ceasefire agreement, President Donald Trump engaged his social media followers with a poll seeking input on a new derogatory nickname for Democrats. The poll, which presented “Dumocrat” and “Dumbocrat” as options, highlighted the president’s recent fixation on the word “dumb” and his peculiar explanations of its spelling.
