While reading a non-fiction (and non-political) book in my Kindle a few

French, a few hundred years ago.

Here is the definition from the on-line Merriam-Webster dictionary:

1
a : worthless nonsense
b : trivial or useless articles


and from dictionary.com :

noun, plural trumperies.
1.
something without use or value; rubbish; trash; worthless stuff.
2.
nonsense; twaddle:
His usual conversation is pure trumpery.


How aptly named can a guy be?

Don't believe me? Look it up...


From the looks of it, you should call him Adolf...
Check out the Hitler pledge in Florida...

I know an Adolf guy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was born in Croatia, German by ancestry. Hitler had some people of his family people killed during World War Two. He was about nine years old when he and the rest of his family Legally Immigrated to America. He is about seventy something years old now.
