Used to describe an act of callow stupidity bereft of forethought against expert advice.
When British Gen. Montgomery decided to attack up Highway 69 toward Arnhem in 1944 he completely failed to appreciate that the road leading through the planned route was only two lanes wide, partly raised above a surrounding flat terrain of polder. The ground on either side of the highway was too soft to support tactical vehicle movement and observation would be seriously restricted in the Fall. He was doing a Trump when he made that decision and ignored contrary advice from the Dutch Military.

Foolishly charging ahead on on issue or challenge or issue, in nothing more than self interest, despite overwhelming scientific objection to the contrary.

Slang Expression. Used to describe an act of callow stupidity bereft of forethought.
"The only person I know who promised a hard date for things to quickly go back to normal is Donald Trump," Mr Gunner said. "I will not be doing a Trump — we will be doing what is right for the Territory, when it is right for the Territory."

Get the Doing A Trump mug.
When you irresponsibly or prematurely walk away from a math test or exam, instead of waiting until the end of the paper, when everyone is allowed to leave the room, because you can’t handle the difficult or brain-unfriendly questions, especially after boasting to the whole world that you have a “genius IQ.“
During the 60-minute math test the other day, everybody was surprised to see Don do a math trump, who consoled himself that he could always pay a Shapiro to sit for his SAT if he failed again.

Someone is "doing a Trump" if they throw an extended and disproportionate hissy fit when they lose. Especially applicable if they're an adult and really should know better. Often accompanied by unfounded accusations of underhand activity supposedly carried out by their opponents, and/or false boasts about being the winner.

Usually the effect of "doing a Trump" is to make them look far worse than simply losing could ever do.
Donnie's just lost at poker and he's been doing a Trump for the last half hour. Hahaha, now he's calling everyone else cheaters and saying he's the real winner!

Yeah I'll play Mario Cart with you, as long as you don't do a Trump like last time, 'k?
