Senses: examples: text: "Trump: The Art of the Deal" (fresh drumroll, please) is more forthcoming about the first wing of the Trump attack than it is about the second.

That a businessman should thus use himself as a sales gimmick is hardly a crime against literature. But "The Art of the Deal" does deserve at least a warning label.

text: So American people are going to be called on. I think they'll repudiate Trumpery. That's why I think Trump has to be front and center. I'm not in agreement with the people who say, "No, never talk about Trump." He needs to be discussed. Trumpery, not Trump, Trumpery needs to be a part of every conversation. The 2024 election is going to be a referendum on both Trump and Trumpery, because if he's alive, he's running.
ref: 2022 May 25, Dahlia Lithwick, quoting Norm Eisen, “The Four Boxes to Defeat Trumpery”, in Slate, New York, N.Y.: The Slate Group, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 16 Oct 2022:
text: Trumpery is like a virus in a zombie movie, infecting the unlikeliest think-tankers, politicians, and columnists. People you have down as solid Reaganites will suddenly, like the ravening monsters in those films, start telling you that tariffs are a terrific negotiating tool or that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is more dangerous than Russian President Vladimir Putin.

text: Is it really a sign of maturity that our insatiable craving for ever-increasingly explicit "entertainment" takes precedence over the moral health and, dare I say, the spiritual wellbeing, of our society and its citizens? Or that shared values once held as vital to our social cohesion are alacritously abandoned in our relentless pursuit of the next turn-on, or the next "artistic" outrage for outrage's sake?
