(This is an example of ironic humor. It is the opposite of how Donald Trump attempts to publicly portray himself. Yet, ironically this actual legitimate definition of trump seems to describe Donald Trump very well.) Trump is an authentic old English verb last commonly used in the 17th century, “to trump” meaning “to deceive or cheat". It is derived from the Old French word “tromper” meaning "fabricate, devise, to blow a trumpet". This is explained as "to play the horn, suggesting someone as phoney and dishonest, who attracted the public by blowing a horn, and then cheated them into buying ...." The Hindley Old French dictionary explains this term as someone who likes to "act the fool".
