LOL...”Trump” has been mostly a noun, but now we see it as an adjective!!!!
Just wait...we will, if we haven’t already, see it as an adverb!

She did not take this as an insult, and despite ransomnote’s attempt to “read” her face— there is little to no “tell”. Privately, surprise is a highly thought of war tactic. Japanese have studied Sun Tzu. There are few left of a generation in Japan who would revel in the glory days of Tojo and the bushido boys who almost murdered the Emperor. All those kind of throwback cultural reactions went away after the Yukio Mishima led attack on a Japanese base in 1970 to try to start a coup to restore the military to power, protecting the then Emperor.

That is some story in and of itself.
