Phrasing is everything: Trump Insurrection

13. Agreed; and I also think it's time that 'Trump' replaces the '-gate' suffix for future scandals

For 45 years, anything egregiously wrong in politics has had the '-gate' appended to it, to say "we think this is really outrageous". But I think it's time to move on from that, and go to an even clearer example of "of course this is bad - it's what Trump would have done".

I don't know if just putting "Trump" in front of something works, though? I know he did it himself - "Trump University" was a fraud, "Trump Shuttle" was a failure, the Trump buildings are gaudy, overpriced shitholes - but when, say, a Republican governor tries to get a business deal in return for signing legislation, what do we say? "It's Trumpian"? "He Trumped the law" (doesn't work well, I think, because "trump" has an existing meaning as a verb) "That's a Trump move"?

I'd like something that can appear in headlines. Any ideas?
