Adjective used to describe a brash and ill-conceived action with potentially disastrous consequences committed by an individual in a position of great authority, but who is of questionable cognitive faculties.
Though originally from the relatively obscure English literary term "dotard", referring to a senile individual, the term was revived in late2017 when it was used by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un to describe US president Donald J Trump.
Alternatively, the term "dotarded" can also be interpreted as a portmanteau of "Donald" and "retarded".
Michael: "I'm not convinced that Donald Trump's foreign policy strategy of out-crazying the world's most brutal and unstable dictators isn't going to work"
Lilly: "You can't be serious. Playing nuclear chicken with Kim Jon Un is f*cking dotarded, and may very well end up causing World War III and the end of humanity as we know it"
Michael: "Yeah. True. I got nothing."

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
