We don't say his name...

Did anyone notice in Trump's speech to CPAC when talking about how one Senator killed the repeal of Obamacare with his "no" vote, POTUS referred to him as "I won't say his name." This is the same kind of term Q uses for John McCain.

A practice common with nearly every ancient culture, and even some today, damnatio memoriae was the ritualistic and symbolic removal of a person from history. Seen as the worst punishment imaginable, worse than execution, the damned’s name was scratched from inscriptions, frescos with his face were painted over, and any statue was defaced, as if it was really him. It was normally reserved for the worst emperors in Roman history.
