Turns out the word "trump" has another secondary meaning

besides the chosen suit in various card games. From an FB friend:

Quite a few years ago, my brother and I had a live in attendant, who was from the UK. One night while he was getting me settled for the night, he took a couple of steps back away from the bed. When I asked him what he was doing, he replied, "I just stepped back to Trump." Apparently, the word trump means breaking wind or farting. He told me it was a slang term they use in Manchester, where he was from.

I have found this to be quite funny and think about it every time I see Donald Trump on TV. So, good people, the next time you see Donald Trump, think about a large butthole with a large amount of smelly wind blowing out of it.

It might help you to quell some of the anger and disdain you may feel about this guy. I know it helps me.
