At last! Tonight, we finally learned the real reason Al Yankovic became “Weird Al”:
The truth is, I only named myself Weird Al because I wanted to save @realdonaldtrump the trouble of coming up with a stupid nickname for me.

You mean you didn’t want to be known “Little Al” or “Crooked Al” or “Lyin’ Al”? But …but … Trump-brand nicknames are so clever!
@alyankovic @realDonaldTrump SO WEIRD. Sad.

@alyankovic @realDonaldTrump Tremendously Weird Al.

Of course, Weird Al may have just sealed his fate with Trump:
@alyankovic @realDonaldTrump You realize, now he's going to call you "Not So Weird Al Yankovic" just to be obnoxious.
