Certainly! Here's a tongue-in-cheek dictionary entry that redefines "Trump" as a synonym for "flip-flop," capturing the rhetorical twist you're aiming for:
Trump
verb /trʌmp/ (informal, often ironic)
1. To reverse a previously stated position or promise, especially with brazen confidence and no acknowledgment of contradiction.
Usage: “He said he'd defend our pensions but totally Trumped last week and handed them to Wall Street.”
2. To perform a sudden political or moral U-turn, typically in a way that gaslights the original supporters into thinking nothing changed.
Example: “The mayor pledged transparency, then Trumped by classifying all the emails.”
Etymology: Derived from the 45th President of the United States, whose policy positions often appeared to pivot with the wind while insisting they never moved.
Synonyms: flip-flop, backpedal, gaslight pivot, 180 with swagger
