I'm actually surprised that nobody's trotted out "Trumpgate", considering that they did try to use the equally clunky name "Trumpcare". Say what you want about "Obamacare," it does roll easily off the tongue.

Editorials are opinion, not news, so I don't mind the use of these sorts of terms there. They give you guideposts as to the slant of the author. However, I agree that such terms have no place at all in actual news reporting.
