A "snowflake" is a alt right/conservative slur for a usually young liberal person of female or minority gender and/or minority color, who's insulted by politically incorrect speech, and wants "safe spaces" on the campus to play with toddler or kindergarden toys (implying that they should just "grow up"). On the other hand, a Donald Trump, insisting in alternative facts about how many people came to his inauguration, and needs safe spaces (and likely toddler toys, too) from the "corrupt media" is not considered a "snowflake", despite exhibiting the same behavior.
"University of Illinois Sets Up Safe Spaces for Precious Snowflakes Following Election", headline after Trumps election.
