Look that up in Your Funk & Wagnalls

Goldie Hawn from Laugh-in...though there's nothing funny about this.
The International Vocabulary Preservation Society has announced the nominees for new words to appear in the next edition of Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary. The nominees are:
trump (v)—to make promises with no intention of keeping them. How do you trump charities like that?
trump (n)—a conflation of troll and stump to indicate someone who is both nasty and ignorant. The joint international press conference became an embarrassment when one of the participants turned out to be a real trump.
trump (adj)—with -ploy to indicate false front, back, and everything in between. It was obvious from his body language that he was trump-ploy.
trumpian (adj)--being nasty and ignorant locally rather than globally. Her brother-in-law ruined Thanksgiving by being very trumpian.
trumpy (adj)--dressing like a dork with your tie (usually a red one) hanging down to your belt buckle. The porn actress decided to spend the night with him even though his style of dress was very trumpy.
trumpini (adj)—exceedingly and exceptionally tiny. His brain, his penis and his character were trumpini.
trumpello (adj)—a pale orange hue. After eating bad salmon his projectile vomit was trumpello.
trumpalooza var. trumpaloser (n)—a raucous gathering of red-clad, resentful bigots chanting inanities about locking people up and building walls while listening to blaring music written by people who have not given them the rights to listen to their music because they’re unworthy of it. The trumpalooza was both seductive for the national media and destructive of it.
trumpmania (n)— a synonym for narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Most of those in attendance at the trumpalooza suffered from trumpmania.
anti-trump (n)—a person of common sense, average intelligence and a modicum of compassion. Although the anti-trumps were in a decisive majority, they suffered under the rule of a trump
pro trump (n)—a person who gets paid to support a trump rather than one who does it for free (i.e. a rube). The pro trump married to an anti-trump was like a political Jack Sprat—Kellyanne could speak no truth; hubby George could tell no lies
trumpathy—(n) an inexplicable New York Times editorial position. In yet another show of trumpathy, The New York Times sent a crack team of investigative reporters to interview a Pennsylvania diner full of bitter and bored white people
trumpism (n)—the attempt to turn a constitutional democracy into an autocratic kleptocacyThe Party of Lincoln shamelessly bent itself over in the thrall of trumpism.
trumpanzee ((n)—newly discovered subspecies of American citizen thoroughly enamored of someone who lies to their faces, insults veterans, attacks women, avoids responsibility, appears mentally ill, and generally behaves like a first class boor
