\TRUMP-uh-ree\ • noun.

1. something without use or value; rubbish; trash; worthless stuff ·
2. nonsense; twaddle.
Ah yes, the old 'trumpery' joke.
As an outsider, there are things I don't understand. For instance: Trump said he wanted to make America great again (it may have been 'grate'; I've heard it but not seen it written). Harris now says that America is the greatest nation on Earth. Is she saying that Trump succeeded?
(Pots and kettles? Scotland did for a while describe itself as "the best small country in the world". No-one ever did explain how those responsible had arrived at that conclusion.

I do wonder at the amount of time the BBC devotes to American elections. Given that US elections drag on and on, for months and months - or is it years? - and that there is some coverage every day, I suspect it adds up to far more than our national broadcaster gives to British elections. If so, is this right and proportionate? It's certainly tiresome.
FU2 aue alone.
