Reply to comment by GoodGoodGoody in ELI5: How come some commercials will mention the competition by name but others use generic terms like “leading brand”? by OmarBarksdale

I don't think this is at all a good comparison. Politics and especially highly unusual people such as the ones you mentioned don't necessarily follow the same rules as generic branding and advertising concepts

Which is why I said it made them look silly. Trump and Putin are marketers. But the political product is different from soap and cars.

Ok. Noted.

Anyhow, to expand in Trump and Putin’s practice if never properly identifying or acknowledging political foes…

Trump wouldn’t stop talking about his opponents. This is a terrible example.

But seldom by name. Always by his own nicknames for them.
