Truth is Stranger Than Fiction
 
While reading a non-fiction (and non-political) book in my Kindle a few
days ago, I came across the word "trumpery" -- which is from the Middle
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...

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.
