If I am interpreting the humourous French joke correctly - he is playing with the verb tromper - substituting a "u" -- his comment - Avec l'humour qui le caractérise, l'Américain déclare haut et fort : « Le Président s'est trumpé. If it were tromper, I think it means that the President was mistaken. A nice word play on Trump!
