Examples

“Perhaps, as Eugene Robinson stated in his column (TNT, 3-15), the Chicago protest⟳ may very well be noted as “the dawn of the resistance” to this caustic Trumpology.”

“Like⟳ Kremlinology, Trumpology cannot provide⟳ definitive explanations. But it does enable us to lay⟳ out intelligent alternative interpretations of what the hell is going on.”

“Everybody used to have⟳ an old uncle like⟳ him, and Trumpology is simply that old uncle with better lighting.”

“In the jargon of Trumpology, the president has tossed a sop to his climate-change denying chief strategist, Steve Bannon, and disappointed his green daughter, Ivanka.”

“Here’s our guide⟳ to Trump’s Trumpology.[…]But Trumpology defies ridicule. Critics have⟳ been forced to swallow⟳ their pride and address the creeping influence⟳ of the President’s authorism in the English language, a “post-literate” style that has inflected discourse and internet hot-takes indiscriminately.[…]The Bloomberg editor Joe Weisenthal once, rather flightily, located the providence of Trumpology in Orality and Literacy, the work⟳ of 20th-century historian Walter J Ong. “Oral culture rewards redundancy, because when an audience can’t go back and consult⟳ a text, speakers must guard against distraction and confusion. Repetition is one useful technique, and Trump is a master of it.””

“This is not, however, merely another addition to the annals of Trumpology.”

“Further, American and Christian concepts of love⟳, caring, respectfulness and selflessness are trampled upon, and replaced with Trumpology, a hateful, egotistical, selfish and bullying way of dealing with others. Trump trumps everything if we allow⟳ him to. Please⟳ start⟳ standing up to the lies and deceitfulness so our nation can move⟳ to a place⟳ of healing rather than be lea^([sic]) into destruction by Trumpology.”

“Reports related to Trump’s second impeachment very well reflect⟳ the Trumpology of the last⟳ four years – lie⟳ as much as you find⟳ tolerable (and the tolerance levels have⟳ been moved out extensively), and cover⟳ the truth with more lies and deception.[…]Lies, deceit and corruption – the core of Trumpology.”
