  1. Terrible nickname.
  2. "The trick is to not be clever or funny - " opinion discarded. That is the ENTIRE point of namecalling. It's supposed to be catchy and memorable. It doesn't need to be factual, but if it is, that's just a bonus. I hate to say it, but calling him a "cheeto" is more memorable simply because it's been ironically said by people here so much that I now find it funny. The fact that they fail to understand this basic concept and want to follow RULES and PROCEDURES for fucking NAMECALLING shows how sheltered liberals are, at best, and at worst, they have no hatred for their "enemies"
  3. Of all the nickanmes they could've chosen, they decided to pick the one thing that millions of Americans are suffering from right now, and something that democrats have accused their voters of "being too stupid" to understand and "ruining Biden's election" whenever they complain about it
  4. Conservatives get a boner whenever they see Trump handing out pizzas to people. Being """broke""" will only give more cred with his base who are also broke.

The term reinforces the class war as well, reminding you that the 'broke' or moniless are obviously incompetent and not to be trusted.
