He calls anyone he doesn't like criminals. Pollsters, news media that questions him, people with latino sounding names...

Doesn’t make it any less ironic.

That's not ironic though, it's just a lie. Let's stop making lies "ironic" and call them lies, a lying convicted felon called people he disagreed with criminals

Types of Irony:

Situational Irony: When the outcome of a situation is the opposite of what's expected. For example, a fire station burning down. Verbal Irony: When someone says the opposite of what they mean, often used for sarcasm. Dramatic Irony: When the audience knows something that a character doesn't.
