There are so many heinous things that can be ascribed to trump its hard to say how it will used in the future; liar, cheat, traitor, phony, draft dodger, sexual deviant, failed business man, and on and on. But years from now when most of his specific crimes are forgotten by most, his name will be used as a colloquialism. In my mind Ill always think of him and his followers as phony patriots.
People dont remember that Benedict Arnold was an accomplished officer or think that Paul Revere spread the word about the redcoats when it was really a young woman. I hope everyone never forgets that trump stands for phony patriot even if they dont remember all hes done.

(115,864 posts)to describe a traitor. Vidkun Quisling was installed by the Nazi occupiers of Norway in 1942 as their puppet prime minister; he governed the country in full collaboration with the Nazis, who imprisoned and executed thousands - especially Jews, journalists, teachers and clergy - until the war was over in 1945, when he was executed. "Quisling" has since become synonymous with a particular sort of traitor - one who gives his country over to an enemy. Trump will be the new Quisling.

(295 posts)It was the surname of a Norwegian army officer who turned on his own country to assist the sub-human Nazis to occupy and murder his fellow compatriots. Today, the word "quisling" means some lowlife, cowardly piece of shit.
The word "trump" will suffer the same fate.
(Sorry, bridge players. You're going to have to come up with another word.)
