because schlong is penis. As opposed Trump, which means dick.
I have also never heard it used as a verb, "Schlonged"?

Google translate allows me to say clearly "Trump iz a pisk fargleybte" or Trump is a loudmouthed bigot.

Merrian-Webster says this about the English definition:

Definition of schlong

slang usually vulgar

: penis

Variants of schlong
also shlongˈshläŋ, ˈshlȯŋ

Origin of schlong

Yiddish shlang, literally, snake, from Middle High German slange, from Old High German slango.

That's its only definition. Why? Is Trump saying it means something else?

At least in the New York region it is part of the vernacular and yes it means "penis".
