The speaker, Louxy, replies to Trump's tweet with "This is what you call a Total Failure Bunker Boy.“ Well, who's the "Bunker Boy"? The grammatical structure of "what you call" appears to be double ways: It can be either Trump or Biden. I am not sure.

Joe Biden was a TOTAL FAILURE in Government. He “bungled” everything that he touched!

This is what you call a Total Failure Bunker Boy. Remember this day, it was the day you destroyed any chance of getting reelected.

Trump took refuge in a bunker below the White House for a period of time during a recent episode of civil unrest in the neighborhood. Does that answer your question?

I knew that before posting the thread. Sorry the question remains as it is. The structure "what you call" should have been "what you are called (as a bunker boy)"?

This is what you call a Total Failure, Bunker Boy.
It makes sense if you add a comma. Louxy is disparagingly calling Trump "Bunker Boy"; he's saying "Hey, coward who hid in the basement! What you've done today, not something your opponent has done, is an example of a 'total failure'!"
