MAGAt or MAGAT (MAGA + maggot)

“Make America Great Again” (MAGA) is a U.S. presidential campaign slogan that was used by Donald Trump in 2016. The portmanteau of “MAGAt” or “MAGAT” (also “MAGGAT”) has been used for the words “MAGA” and “maggot.” Sometimes the plural “MAGATS” or “MAGGATS” has been used, with the last two letters (“ts”) standing for “Trump supporters.” After the United States Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, “MAGAT” has sometimes been used to stand for “Make America Great Again Terrorist.”

Wikipedia: Make America Great Again
“Make America Great Again” (MAGA, US: /ˈmæɡə/) is an American political slogan most recently popularized by Donald Trump during his successful presidential campaigns in 2016 and in 2024. “MAGA” is also used to refer to Trump’s political base, or to an individual or group of individuals from within that base. The slogan became a pop culture phenomenon, seeing widespread use and spawning numerous variants in the arts, entertainment and politics, being used by both supporters and opponents of Trump’s presidency and as the name of the Super PAC Make America Great Again Inc.

Originally used by Ronald Reagan as a campaign slogan in his 1980 presidential campaign (Let’s Make America Great Again), it has since been described as a loaded phrase.
       
Wikipedia: Magat
Magat may refer to:
 
. Magat Dam, a rock-filled dam located at the Magat River
. Magat River, a river in the Philippines
. Magat Salamat, son of Lakan Dula of the Kingdom of Tondo
. “MAGAT”, (MAGATs), a derogatory term used for supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump, named for his use of the slogan “Make America Great Again” (MAGA); also appearing as “magat”, “magats”; the term is a homophone of “maggot”. The term “MAGAT” is also an acronym for “MAGA Terrorist”

I prefer the term #MAGAts as an alternative to Trumpkins. Example usage: “MAGAts are devouring the corpse of the Republican Party.” Humor.
