Hillary markets herself on a first name basis, as does The Donald. I haven't seen you refer to the rest of Trump's gang as Steve or Paul or Rudy or Chris.

It's an annoying thing I've noticed on this message board over the years (and I don't know if you've been responsible for this in the past) where female politicians are only condescendingly referred to by their first name. See Rachel and Alison, but not Stephen or Tom or Jim or Naheed, though Trudeau does get referred to as Justin on here. Partly to presumably differentiate from his father, but also I can't help think that it's partly to play on his youth/inexperience/pretty boy looks.
