Trumpsringa 

Trumpspringa (noun):

A period of national chaos where a democracy flirts with authoritarianism, corruption, and conspiracy-fueled lunacy—only to realize (hopefully) that things like laws, facts, and functioning institutions were actually pretty nice. Inspired by Amish Rumspringa, but instead of teens testing out Red Bull and Wi-Fi, it’s a whole country test-driving fascism before deciding whether to commit to democracy or keep going full KGB Mad Max Thunder Dome.

Trumpsringa example usage:
• “Bro, remember when everyone just decided elections didn’t matter and stormed the Capitol? That was peak Trumpspringa.”
• “Yeah, my uncle’s still on Trumpspringa—he thinks he is coming back to save us.”
• “America’s in its Trumpspringa phase. Hopefully, we wake up before we lose our democracy like car keys at a frat party.”

trumpeting 

Trumpeting is a form of marketing based solely on hype, and that is unbound from any requirement for telling the truth about the product you are selling.

Charlatan: People are calling me every day, asking "Sir, how can we pre-purchase one of your beautiful condos?" There really has never been anything built like this before. The quality is, like, unbelievable. The Emir -- powerful brilliant man that Emir, and great taste, possibly the best taste of any Emir -- couldn't believe what he was seeing when he saw the plans. "Sir, there is no building like this in the world! This penthouse is worth $50M, but you're only asking $20M. Everybody I know will want in on this deal."

Real Estate Agent: Yeah, he sure is trumpeting the new tower he plans to build in Abu Dhabi. That Emir he speaks of? He's bankrolling the entire project and is paying to license the name. The actual tower design is the same as dozens of other towers around the world, so there's no need to pre-purchase this property. In fact you should wait until the tower is built to buy, since it's quite likely the project will be a boondoggle.
