Sad they did it that way. She didn't have time to get all her possessions out of the house.
Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice
Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.
Fagan, a four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a branch of the military, was removed from her post as the Coast Guard’s top officer on Trump’s second day in office. Officials at the Homeland Security Department — which oversees the Coast Guard — cited border security issues and an “excessive focus” on diversity, equity and inclusion among the reasons for her dismissal.

She was relieved of her post on January 21st. With the post comes the house, and all senior officers know that.
So...fake news.

The problem with trumpery in that usage is that it already has meanings that do not have anything to do with the vindictive cruelty of Trump's actions. Trumpery descries something with little use or value, which is a good word for something like his sneakers, Bible, or meme coin.

Well, word usage changes to suit the times. All these now mean something related to Trump. I can't help it!

Protocracy may be a recent neologism but let's make it the Merriam-Webster word of the year.
