[Opinions] Re: Donald
in reply to a message by ciara23
I almost never think of Trump as "Donald" or hear him referred to that way, plus he wasn't on my radar before 5 or 6 years ago.
My main/oldest associations are Ronald McDonald (fast food, clown) and Donald Duck (cartoons). So, it doesn't sound serious or handsome to me.
If I try to take it more seriously, it seems old-fashioned, and I hear it in a Scottish accent.
I guess it's sort of similar to Malcolm, which I do like, but Donald seems more buttoned-up or Don seems more likely to love golf.
I'd put Don in the same group as Glenn. Donald seems goofier than Ronald, and I'd prefer Gerald, Harold, Leonard, Bernard, Douglas, Roger, Danny, Diarmad to either.
