Morfoon
Right wing friends you may unfriend me now.
I just had a moment of enlightenment, revelation and inspiration.
For months since the election, you know the one I’m talking about, I’ve been struggling with president Trump. I always thought he had a couple of good ideas. I like Americans first when it comes to jobs for the American worker, I kind of like the idea of a wall, although only a moron could believe Mexico would pay for it. Let’s face it, the wall was, and is, a publicity stunt and you right wingers fell for it. The reality is that we do need better border security and responsible immigration reform. But, what a crappy sound bite that is. Fuck it; build “a really, really ginormous wall,” that sounds much better and has the extra luxury of not requiring much thought or an actual plan.
For a long time I did reserve my judgement in the vain hope that Trump would somehow grab the rabbit of true inspiring leadership out of the black top hat of his soul. Nope, he reached down and grabbed the warthog of racism, violence and regression. Trump brings out the worst of the right the same way Obama brought out the best of the left.
I do think that when one considers a president and chooses to use words to bring those consideration to his listeners, he should choose his words carefully because, especially in Trumps case, those words would most certainly evoke an argument. Initially I had thought Trump a moron. So, I was really thrilled when Rex Tillerson validated that thought. But, how could a moron sucker other morons into believing Mexico was going to pay for the wall on the border? Clearly the president must be of somewhat greater mental capacity than the true morons who believe Mexico will pay for the wall. And, the man is president, it is no small task to get elected president. Clearly a simple moron could not pull that off. And the money, all the money. If Trump were a pirate, there wouldn’t be enough sun soaked sandy beaches on the island of Puerto Rico, whose people Trump continues to insult and belittle, to bury his money. No, moron isn’t really the word to use even though he’s done and said some truly moronic things. I thought about it and intentionally refrained from using the word moron when talking about Trump.
So, I used buffoon. And buffoon generally fits pretty well. Buffoon evokes images of drunken frat guys riding each other piggyback while jousting with broom sticks and wearing waste baskets on their heads. I have taken great relish in calling Trump a buffoon, and, you know what? Most Trump supporters really don’t have much to say. Trump is, after all, a buffoon, not much argument there. If you are on the right, it’s just a cross you’ll have to bear, deal with it. For eight years, I put up with Obama bashing, with the insane, moronic, sophomoric, hateful, racist, commentary that flowed continuously from tiny closed minds. You know what I’m talking about, I’m not going into it.
But, buffoon, really doesn't go far enough, he is the life of the party. Everybody loves a good buffoon now and then, unless, of course, he’s the guy puking his guts out all over your floor after he’s done jousting. No, there is something just too good natured about buffoon to use on Trump all the time. Although he is no doubt very smart (but probably not smart enough to beat Tillerson in that IQ test Trump challenged him to) he does say some awfully moronic things.
Now the moment of enlightenment, revelation and inspiration you have been waiting for me to get to after all these meaningless words. More than 600 so far according to the word counter. Remember when you had to write a 200-word essay in eighth grade and counted every word and threw in extra words that didn’t need to be there just to make the count? Microsoft would have made my life so much easier back then, but I digress. Focus you fack.
MORFOON!!!
Trump is a morfoon©. Part moron, part buffoon, a real morfoon©.
This is a new word, it is my word, I own it. I Googled it, no hits, and it does not appear in my dictionary app, it is a unique word. I’d like to see the word go viral and see all you anti-Trump people go nuts with it, but, in truth, I’d rather be rich. So, I can sell the word to the highest bidder, maybe I’ll put it on eBay. I’ll sell on an as used basis, say ten cents a use. I can sell it in bulk quantities if you think you are going to use it a lot, twelve uses for a buck, 120 uses for ten bucks, etc.
For the record, when the word makes it to the Urban Dictionary or Webster’s this is the definition:

a word coined in the last quarter of 2017 by Gary Moffitt to be used especially when talking about former president Trump, the word combines moron and buffoon.
I hope Trump gets elected to another term, I owe my right wing friends another 7 years of bashing their president. Besides, I want to make a lot of money off my new word.
Hopefully, the morfoon© president won’t start WWIII and we will all still be here. Tell me my friend, you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction.
