Great artistry to make another long lasting mental impression, Clay.
Also like the way you did it without a hint of the frequently used remark: “If you look up the word __________, right next to it will be a picture of _________.”
It is clear from that the verb to trump has been used extensively across Britain to refer to the breaking of wind. It is especially the case in the North, in Wales and certainly in Norfolk, in the 1950s.
This use is confirmed by the OED. However though it is therein described as vulgar my own experience is that it was a term encouraged by parents as a means of avoiding the far less socially salubrious fart.
To give forth a trumpet-like sound; spec. to break wind audibly (slang or vulgar).
Yet another VERY FINE ‘toon by one of my favorite ’toonsters. Though in fact I think he’s not … exactly … delusional. More like uninterested in reality and doing his usual well-practiced con routine: Run out a whole lot of word salad and see which part of it the dupes like best so you can do that part again.
A messed up Messiah and his gang of disciple goons wish to preserve the USA by burning it down and murdering its govt and replacing it with an oppressive fascist state. He is against truth and support bald faced lies to get them to help him regain his throne, in Aryan House for life. He is 75, and has a poor constitution so that won’t be very long. It is who will succeed him should he manages to win.
Capitol riot report: Anger as Trump’s role excluded but new details of security failures revealed
Amid criticism of Capitol police failings, Amy Klobuchar says the event ‘wouldn’t have happened’ without false claims of election fraud from former president
This is a definition of “delusional” that is both prescriptive and descriptive; it meets all the criteria mandated by intelligent, educated, experienced, rational English usage.

His delusion is his “god” complex. He believes that everything he says and does is perfect. Millions share his delusion. Be well my friend.
