Yes! When will we suffer our first Trumpgate scandal? Or has he had so many scandals and gaffes that it's lost it's punch?

I hate this. I have been praying for Bill Gates's house's electronic gates to impale someone so we can get Gatesgatesgate.

This.

Also anything-aholic/ism.

And chillax. Or pretty much any lazy journalistic combination "words", including Brexit.

I just made this up and will be using it all the time .. :-)

Edit: due to @english_bob pointing out Trumpery is already a word I've changed it to Trumprage

Trumprage - the act of making outlandish or outrageous statements and promises that you have no intention of going through with in pursuit of publicity .

So we have Trumpites yet? (Trumps version of the Hitler youth)

They have to wear blue suits with red ties and bad blonde comb overs and hold their right hand up making a circle witn thump and forefinger every time they utter a few slow meandering statements and repeat a couple of words for any hard of thinking members of the audience.

'she's got no stamina....no stamina'

'it's time to make America great again....it's time'

Trumprage should be when you get really angry about something happening that you could have prevented but didn't.

Like how turnout among Democrat voters was shit, so Trump won, and now the streets of America's major cities run with rivers of butthurt.

If Trump put on weight, would he weigh a Trumpton?

As the markets fluctuate up and down with uncertainty, we could consider ourselves on the Trumpoline.
