It came up when the discussion of gas prices was at the forefront. He self-described as "professional driver" instead of "pizza delivery".

If somebody drives for a profession, then they are a professional driver.

Google AI says: Yes, a pizza delivery person is considered a driver, specifically a delivery driver. They use a vehicle to transport goods (pizzas and other food items) to customers. This role requires them to operate a vehicle safely and navigate delivery routes, similar to other types of delivery drivers.

You "have to explain" that despite Trump using a nickname literally that HE coined, YOU don't use it literally?
And? What does that have to do with Trump using the nickname literally, then being guilty of doing what he previously used as an insult?
Does your personal use of the moniker change what TRUMP means when he says it?

I didn't know if Trump meant it literally or not and neither do you. The available evidence indicates that Trump invented the moniker before videos of Biden napping at event became popular memes. I do know how I was using it and I'm pretty most other people were using it in a manner consistent with how I used it. As Biden's biographer noted people used "Sleepy Joe" in reference to his incoherence.

The fact that you think this some sort gotcha and proof of hypocrisy just demonstrates you are confused about how nicknames work. Sometimes a big guy is called "Tiny;" other times a big guy might be called "big Joe." That's not hypocrisy, it had nothing to do with literal vs not literal, it just is. We are under no obligation to call the next fake tanned politican "Orange." We may call the next confused and incoherent politican "Babbling Joe."

The person who uses this must be a "Professional Pedaler".

Trump did it in response to the pictures people posted of Biden looking down at something, and claimiing instead that he was falling asleep. A claim that was later debunked.

It's the same as the person who writes "Your an idiot", or perhaps "Your still a retard".
Or maybe talkaing about Biden "hiding in his basement" when Biden was actually spending more time on the road campaigning than Trump.
The "basement hiding" claim contiunued after Trump was literally hiding in the basement due to protests outside the White House.
Hypocrisy.

So "they" were trolling Biden before he even threw his hat in the ring? Those wascally wepublicans. Do you have evidence people posting pics of Biden, claiming he was sleeping at ill opportune times that predate "Sleepy Joe?" There has to be a tweet somewhere.

If you are getting paid specifically to drive, then you are a driver

So truckers aren't professional drivers since they're only delivering freight

Taxi drivers aren't professional drivers, UPS drivers (delivery & OTR) aren,'t professional drivers, etc. I'm kinda curious what does one have to do to qualify as a professional driver? Even a race car driver's real product is entertainment.

I have to ask, exactly what qualifies somebody to be called a "professional driver?"

Professional is literally a profession. A profession literally is "a paid occupation".
