Donald no doubt enjoys the bridge player's definition of trump: a winning play by a card that outranks all others. But other definitions include "a thing of small value, a trifle" and "to deceive or cheat" as well as "to blow or sound a trumpet." As a verb, trump means "to devise in an unscrupulous way" and "to forge, fabricate or invent," as in "trumped-up" charges. Donald
