Even the dictionary trolls Trump

About a year ago, I signed up with Dictionary.com for them to deliver a word with its meaning to my Inbox every morning. Just thought it never hurts to increase one's vocabulary.

I get a kick out of how they troll Trump sometimes. For example, today's word is "postiche".

[paw-steesh]

noun
1.
a false hairpiece.
2.
pretense; sham.
