3. Wondered if it was coined before or after 2017? I looked -- it's from mid-fifteenth century.

trumpery (n.)
mid-15c., "deceit, trickery," from Middle French tromperie (14c.), from tromper "to deceive," of uncertain origin (see trump (v.2), which has influenced the spelling in English). Meaning "showy but worthless finery" is first recorded c. 1600.

7. Excellent -thanks

11. Shucks. Was hoping it was another hit by Nostradamus.

He was about a century too late for it to originate with one of his prophecies.

28. Trompe-l'il - basically, "fooling the eye"

noun
unpunctuated: trompe loeil; noun: trompe l'oeil
visual illusion in art, especially as used to trick the eye into perceiving a painted detail as a three-dimensional object.
"look at the pillars and arches around the immense dome—they are trompe l'œil"

31. I doubt very much that when the name was changed

from Drumpf to trump, that anyone knew the definition, and I am loving how it fits now!

[arthurgoodwin]

4. It's been around for a long time

But, alas, not a word generated in response to Trump. It's been around since the 15th century and comes from Middle French - Tromper - "to deceive". See:
