In an old episode of “Cheers”, Frasier encounters Diane in Boston after she had left him at the altar in Italy. Dialogue not exact but close.

Frasier- “You humiliated me with the entire Italian national soccer team. Now, when a player tries to kick the ball but misses and falls down, it’s called a Frasier.”

Diane- “That’s just a coincidence.”

Frasier- “Coincidence!? If he’s knocked out cold, it’s called a Frasier Crane!”

I find myself snickering a lot these days. POTUS should not remind one of characters being humiliated in pop culture, but if the shoe fits…
