Maybe the “great” America that Donald wants to take us back to is the 1860s?

    The one a little bit further down - “Trumpery” meaning “Deceit; fraud” - needs to make a comeback.

      Or even better “Worthless or deceptive in character”. (Which, basically, has already made a comeback.)

      It’s pretty interesting how Trump (“an excellent person”) and Trumpery (“Worthless or deceptive in character”) could both be in use at the same time, unless it was some kind of opposite-slang.

      Isn’t that what the common meaning is today?
