Change the Definition of "Trump" After the 2016 Election

The Issue

Merriam-Webster defines "trump" as, "a dependable and exemplary person" but like... come on. The 2016 U.S. presidential election has shown that to be profoundly inaccurate about Donald Trump, so how about we update the definition?

You're professionals. I'm not here to do your job, but here are a few suggestions

Noun - An untrustworthy person,

Noun - A criminal, con man, and serial liar

Noun - The result of if a wizard turned a half-rotted pumpkin into a shouting racist maniac

Totally your call, but the 2016 election has absolutely changed the way the word "trump" is used and your dictionary should reflect that.
