Definition: Snollygoster (definition of Trump)

"1895 Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch 28 Oct. 4/3 A Georgia editor kindly explains that ‘a snollygoster is a fellow who wants office, regardless of party, platform or principles, and who, whenever he wins, gets there by the sheer force of monumental talknophical assumnacy’."

"1953 Cavalier Daily (Univ. of Virginia) 12 Nov. 1/2 Former President Truman may have been making a talknophical assumnacy when he said a snollygoster is what Southerners call a man born out of wedlock."
