We've lost two great english words, in exchange for... Dotard ?!!

[Pluvious]

This is a very crappy trade man.

First, the multi-use word "trump" has lost all its former meaning and value.

And now the word "presidential" has devolved into something to forevermore remind Americans of what we elected as our leader.

The shame of it all.

1. Great Post.

maybe "trumped-up" will add some additional meanings.

Watching Trump's address to a crowd of supporters, brought to mind the phrase a "trumped-up mob."

2. trump vb British: to fart.

from the Dictionary of Contemporary Slang, Bloomsbury

"The term, popular since the late 1990s, is based on the noun trumpet."

The Oxford English Dictionary dates this back to 1552, in an English-Latin lexicon: "Trump or let a crackke, or fart, crepo"

So, no, it's hasn't lost all of its former meaning. In fact, the OED also gives as meanings:

A thing of small value, a trifle

and

To deceive, cheat
