"Trumpery is an archaic word for fraud, taken from the French tromper, to deceive somebody. Shakespeare puts it into the mouth of his rogue Autolycus, who boasts of defrauding the gullible with his worthless trinkets: 'Ha, ha! What a fool Honesty is! And Trust, his sworn brother, a very simple gentleman! I have sold all my trumpery . . .'” (A Winter’s Tale, Act IV, Scene IV.)

Donald "Ducking" Trumpery says what he thinks we want to hear and then does what his chosen people want done. It is that simple. Actions always speak louder than words.
