Calling all Wordsmiths!

We have a crisis developing here in which the English language no longer has the terminology to properly describe what has just happened. Words like buffoonery, idiocy, bizarre and incomprehensible are simply not adequate.

Surely the OED has been defeated - will anyone be able to come up with a solution??

Paraphrasing the late great Leonard Cohen:

The holy books are open wide
They're working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure for ... Trump
There ain't no drink no drug
(Ah tell them, angels)
There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for Trump.
