If you need a bit of a laugh in the midst of all the madness...(trump as a verb)

I was asked to make this an OP, so here it is.

My teenage son was shopping with me this weekend when we saw a toddler have a complete and total melt down in a store. That lovely kicking, screaming, pounding kind of fit every parent dreads could happen in public. My son smiled at the distraught mom and said, "It'll probably be over soon. Trumping only lasts 140 seconds." Everyone around us busted up laughing and one person said, "I'm going to have to remember that!"

The way things are going, the Oxford English Dictionary may have to add another definition to the word's entry. I suspect we'll see the mother of all toddler meltdowns when he loses the race. Defining moment in the history of the English language. Sorry, had to go there.
