Assholery is not admirable or something to be proud of...

Trump is an asshole. I have seen no redeeming qualities in the man. None.

He's a backbiter. He's a name-caller. He's rude and crude. He is not a leader - he is a bully. Perhaps worst of all, he is a coward. He wants others to do his dirty work.

He is a racist and a hater. He is a big-mouth braggart. Always has been.

But to wrap him up in a one-word definition, he is an "asshole".

When I say to my husband “Asshole did this” or “Asshole did that” he knows who I am talking about.

Everyone needs an asshole; you couldn't survive without one. But nobody needs Trump. The best word for him would be one describing something both odious and completely useless. Even "shit" doesn't work because manure is useful. All creatures, even icky, creepy ones - and even parasites - have a purpose within an ecosystem. Maybe the perfect word is just trump. A trump is a being that has no purpose, no use, no reason to exist, and creates only chaos and destruction.
