Trumpery?

Interesting sounding word, don't you think? It sort of reminds me of something or someone...

The word "trumpery," comes from a French word meaning "to deceive," defined as "showy but worthless."

Merriam-Webster defines trumpery as "worthless nonsense," or a collection of "trivial but useless articles."

(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trumpery)
The Merriam-Webster web site explains:

Trumpery derives from the Middle English trompery and ultimately from the Middle French tromper, meaning "to deceive." (You can see the meaning of this root reflected in the French phrase trompe-l'oeil-literally, "deceives the eye"-which in English refers to a style of painting with photographically realistic detail.) Trumpery first appeared in English in the mid-15th century with the meanings "deceit or fraud" (a sense that is now obsolete) and "worthless nonsense." Less than 100 years later, it was being applied to material objects of little or no value. The verb phrase trump up means "to concoct with the intent to deceive," but there is most likely no etymological connection between this phrase and trumpery.

However, trumpery can be used to describe various things that really are of little or no value or exhibit fraud, etc. whether animate or not.

For example, one could say that someone's campaign speech was Trumpery.
Or saying a person's supposed accomplishments were pure trumpery.

Or someone's businesses or financial ventures were built on trumpery.

Possibly a marriage was created, consumated and exists as trumpery.

Or especially, the call to dump Joe smacks of trumpery.

Trumpery should become a VERY widely used word in social media. It could drive some crazier than usual.

I imagine anyone could come up with a number of new uses?
