Replace the "administration"!

durangodawood · Jun 27, 2025

"Administration".

Its five syllables and a complete mouthful. I for one have had enough of news people slurring their way through "Trump administration" over and over again. We could fix half of that by impeaching Trump. But thats for another thread. This is about replacing "administration".

Please offer your candidate words.

I'd recommend just stop watching and listening to the news. You'll be happier.

The only way to replace it is through voting. Those dissatisfied with the Trump administration will have their chance in November 2028.

"Regime" seems fitting.

To be honest, I don't understand your OP. You're just worried about the word having too many syllables? Just call it an "admin" like when hipsters refer to frozen yogurt as "fro yo".

"Regime" has a good flow when preceded by "Trump".

public hermits reply is the sort of thing Im looking for.

"admin" works but its sounds perhaps too casual for the seriousness we've come to expect from broadcast news.

You expect seriousness from an industry which employs the likes of Rachel Maddow and Brian Stelter? Wow.

Ok, perhaps Im thinking aspirationally.

I had no idea people called it that. It makes sense, but I would have been lost if someone asked if I wanted one.

Clown show? Reduces the syllable count by 60%.

Which does prompt me to point out that if you shorten World Wide Web to w.w.w. you're actually tripling the number of syllables.

Nice. You are the DOGE of syllables. Actually the doge wishes it could be you.

Ever notice how fast reporters have to speak? It's part of job and with the speed of teleprompters its no wonder some words are slurred. Can't change Administration to manys ways because other replacements would be elevating the position too much. How about "Trump White House".

That's informative on a number of levels. I like it.

I thought "fro yo" was a cringe, preppy term. The kind of thing "cool" (sic) parents said.

I think "Trump Rule" would be a great replacement for administration.

I also think that the USA would greatly benefit from every single entities' name being prefaced with the word Trump.

Bedlam.

Especially apt if you consider the origin of the word.
