Trump really does stand for B.S.: “Trumpery,” an old-fashioned word that’s proving useful today

2015’s Word of the Year was singular they, according to the American Dialect Society, and it’s far too early to speculate on this year’s top word. But it would be easy to pick the word of the Presidential race so far: trumpery. This old word for various types of bullshit has gotten new life thanks to bullshit maestro Donald Trump. It’s become a common pastime to link Trump with definitions of trumpery on social media such as Twitter and publications such as Mother Jones.
