Some will call it nasty, or deplorable, or a trumpery.

Wednesday's speech took some of the Trumpery out of Trump.

The pride Mr Trump takes in such self-aggrandising trumpery is almost touching.
|

And there is a much bigger constituency that might appreciate a dash more Trumpery in their politicians.

That being the case, loudmouthed, isolationist trumpery may just be a sideshow, an American exercise in après-moi-le-déluge escapism.

Searches for trumpery have spiked since the end of 2000, as social media users shared the original meaning of the word. 29.

Maintaining this unwieldy trumpery safely aloft while navigating an eight-foot-wide skirt into a carriage made a challenge of every social excursion.

The trumpery of the current Republican primary campaign has led some of us to decide that they want no part of it and so will not vote.

HanA**holeSolo's creation is classic Trumpery: it shows the President figuratively wrestling the media to the ground, yes, but with a dash of self-aware humor that the left is oddly tone-deaf to.

The Sister Housekeeper told her to take that desperate look off her face: surely she did not have to be told that such trumpery should be of no interest to a good Christian girl.
|
|
It puts everyone who cares about accuracy on the defensive: We are faced with both the moral obligation to speak truth to Trumpery and the growing certainty that nothing we can do will make Trump lie any less.

But the authors' understanding of American religion seems to start and end with Google searches and anti-evangelical tracts, and their intended attack on Trumpery expands and expands, conflating very different political and religious tendencies, indulging in paranoia about obscure theocratic Protestants and fringe Catholic websites, and ultimately critiquing every kind of American religious conservatism — including the largely anti-political Benedict Option and the pro-life activism fulsomely supported by Francis' papal predecessors — as dangerously illiberal, "theopolitical," Islamic State-esque, "Manichaean," a return to the old integralism that the church no longer supports.

She also understudied the roles of Hannah Jarvis and Lady Croom in the 2011 Broadway revival of Stoppard's Arcadia. Off-Broadway, Amato has appeared in Bill Irwin's Mr. Fox: A Rumination (2004), and as Emma in Trumpery (2007). She later costarred as Calantha in The Broken Heart in 2012, and played the leading role of Olga Knipper in Neva in 2013.

The Times denounced the ultimatum as an 'extravagant farce' and The Globe denounced this 'trumpery little state'. Most editorials were similar to the Daily Telegraph, which declared: 'of course there can only be one answer to this grotesque challenge. Kruger has asked for war and war he must have!' Such views were far from those of the British government and from those in the army.

The king good- naturedly overlooked his outrageous insolence on this occasion, but the inevitable rupture was only postponed. A most trumpery affair brought matters to a head. Sprengtporten had insulted the guards by giving precedence over them at a court-martial to some officers of his own dragoons. The guards complained to the king, who, after consulting with the senate, mildly remonstrated with Sprengtporten by letter.

He wrote about this in a letter to his cousin, Harry Conway, on 12 February 1756: > You would laugh if you saw in the midst of what trumpery I am writing. Two > porters have just brought home my purchases from Mrs. Kennon the midwife's > sale: Brobdignag combs, old broken pots, pans, and pipkins, a lantern of > scraped oyster-shells, scimitars, Turkish pipes, Chinese baskets, &c.; &c.

Carr was slightly over medium height and in his later years was heavily built. Tom Roberts, the artist, said he had the "typical head of a prelate". Roberts, who was not of his church, records that "speaking of the frailties and sins of people, he said he had never met a thoroughly bad man or woman... He's a man you could tell anything to-except something trumpery." St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne was his largest accomplishment, but there are many other markers to Carr’s lasting contributions, including the parish of Werribee, Victoria, which he established in 1906.

"What a heap of trumpery is here!" cries his visitor, when Cotton's dubbing bag is opened. "Certainly never an angler in Europe has his shop half so well-finished as you have." Cotton replies with the touchiness of a true obsessive: "Let me tell you, here are some colours, contemptible as they seem here, that are very hard to be got; and scarce any one of them, which, if it should be lost, I should not miss and be concerned about the loss of it too, once in the year." Cotton devotes a whole chapter to collection of flies for every month of the year.

He attacked the narrow theory, practice and purpose of the plays. Though he praised her "genius", Baillie marked Jeffrey down as a literary enemy and refused a personal introduction. Not until 1820 would she agreed to meet him; but they then became warm friends. Maria Edgeworth, recording a visit in 1818, summed up her appeal for many: Both Joanna and her sister have most agreeable and new conversation, not old, trumpery literature over again and reviews, but new circumstances worth telling, apropos to every subject that is touched upon; frank observations on character, without either ill-nature or the fear of committing themselves; no blue-stocking tittle- tattle, or habits of worshipping or being worshipped.

Late that summer, he visited Göttingen, where he opened a new hospital and was given a torchlight procession. The King continued his interest in British affairs and wrote to Lord Strangford about the Great Exhibition of 1851: > The folly and absurdity of the Queen in allowing this trumpery must strike > every sensible and well-thinking mind, and I am astonished the ministers > themselves do not insist on her at least going to Osborne during the > Exhibition, as no human being can possibly answer for what may occur on the > occasion. The idea ... must shock every honest and well-meaning Englishman. > But it seems everything is conspiring to lower us in the eyes of Europe.

Along with other Protestants and Catholics, Hunt had no doubt that the fire was not a miracle, so he concentrates on what he considered to be the fanatical and grotesque responses of the participants. He also believed that the interior of the church was the epitome of bad taste, writing that it was "crammed full of trumpery pictures of old Saints, and decorated throughout in that bad taste which Roman Catholics have to themselves in Europe but which here the modern Greeks share with them."Bronkhurst, J., William Holman Hunt, A Catalogue Raisonné, vol 1, p.278 Hunt depicted the various competing religious groups along with the different races and ethnicities of the region.

Earlier in his career, Beckett—a disciple of Joyce in his younger days—had previously contributed the essay, "Dante...Bruno.Vico..Joyce" in the critical anthology, Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress, a work meant to prepare the reading public for what would be the final phase in Joyce's writing. It is possible that Beckett may have been inspired to name his characters from the sixth verse of the so-called "Ballad of Humpty Dumpty" in Finnegans Wake: So snug he was in his hotel premises sumptuous But soon we'll bonfire all his trash, tricks and trumpery And'tis short till sheriff Clancy'll be winding up his unlimited company With the bailiff's bom at the door, (Chorus) Bimbam at the door. Then he'll bum no more.
