David Cay Johnston Quote
Donald no doubt enjoys the bridge player’s definition of trump: a winning play by a card that outranks all others. But other definitions include a thing of small value, a trifle and to deceive or cheat as well as to blow or sound a trumpet. As a verb, trump means to devise in an unscrupulous way and to forge, fabricate or invent, as in trumped-up charges. Donald
