81. He was very proud of that. Thinks it might make a good nickname.

i don't know the rationale. Though he is crazy, usually there is some connection, like the person's size, or age, or a pun on one's name.
Maybe this is just the best opposite of the person he could unconsciously come up with. Or projection, as usual.

I hope Platner understands the honor of being Trump's #1 target.
It might be that the most important personal attribute we need in Platner is courage.
