Current definition:

trump
noun
in cards: any playing card of a suit that for the time outranks the other suits, such a card being able to take any card of another suit. A trump card.

This doesn’t describe the tangerine hued tyrannical fascist, pimpled assface in the White House.

The verb phrase of the current definition, though, is spot on though.

 trump up
to devise deceitfully or dishonestly, as an accusation; fabricate:

Trump’s trumped up charges against Clinton and Obama would be gruesomely hilarious if he didn’t have such a loyal dimwitted batshit following.

I need a new definition.

Trump
adjective
behavior characterized by abominable levels of self-serving, egomaniacal, even narcissistic words and actions.
Delia, with her constant trumpness, was unbearable.

I can hardly forbear hurling things at him.
~ William Shakespeare

Andy Borowitz writes that the Bar Officially Cannot Be Lowered. I’d agree but I feel certain the Racist Disgrace can, in fact, go lower. This seems to be his only talent – flying his tiny-brained, bigoted, narcissistic flag high and proud.

WHEN will his Republican party grow a pair and impeach this ugly toadfucker? I know, I know. Never. Which is why we all have to VOTE! Midterms are coming.

The part of her that should have been disgusted was numb.
~ Fuyumi Ono, The Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of Shadow

I’d welcome numbness but it doesn’t stop by, not even for quick cuppa and a spot of gossip.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.
~ Elvis Costello

I’m not there yet. Hard to rock an amused mien when you’re vulnerable.

The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it emotionally.
~ Flannery O’Connor

Take note all you Trump supporters. Take serious, bloody note.

There is not a more repulsive spectacle than on old man who will not forsake the world, which has already forsaken him.
~ T. S. Eliot

When will the world full-on forsake the evil, deranged Orange Menace? In a just universe, his mother would’ve done it 71 years ago.

I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim,
~ Charles Baudelaire

[Horror fiction] shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.
~ Clive Barker

I hate to post a Clive Barker quote but this one resonates. At work once, The Amazing Bob had the “pleasure” of waiting on him. Barker was a preening twat, horrified that TAB wasn’t a fan of his work. Like me, TAB was familiar with the dude’s name but that was it. Barker was background noise.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
~ Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

How long can we hold out? How long can we remain all prudent-y, keeping our marbles dry and our oars wet?

Eddie discovered one of his childhood's great truths. Grownups are the real monsters, he thought.
~ Stephen King, It

I’d go one step farther – humankind is the real monster. We are them.

Me? I’m a dragon.
