TRUMPENCE sound more like getting you come upence once Trump get elected President. Like what is going to happen to the Media Elite Darlings weather Trump wins or not.

I like it. I’ve had the “word” Trumppencestance (like happenstance) in my head for several weeks but haven’t taken the time to work up the spelling or definition yet. It’ll be the opposite of happenstance, really. I’ll get to it one of these days!
Meanwhile, your work on Trumpence is excellent!!

This has been bouncing about in my mind for a while and I finally had the thought and time to “coin” it ...
Now go to work on Trumpenstance!!
Indeed (and see “trumpenstance” below)!
Yep ...
I promise! :)
Superman and Trumpenstein decided to fight and made a bet:

I found some old English coins, six schillings, four trumpence and a farthing.
