Getting kind of tired seeing the word “bombastic” in articles about Trump. I cannot remember the last time I saw that word prior to Trumpmania. So for you Trump writers out there here are some synonyms to keep your writing from being repetitive and dull....

pompous, blustering, turgid, verbose, orotund, high-flown, high-sounding, overwrought, pretentious, ostentatious, grandiloquent;

My favorite of those is orotund, but grandiloquent rocks too.

Good list.

Another great word is bloviate!
