'Unpresidented': Donald Trump invents the Guardian's word of the year | US news | The Guardian

'Unpresidented': Donald Trump invents the Guardian's word of the year | US news | The Guardian

unpresidented 

An instance of someone being “prepared to say what most of us are thinking”, but actually saying things most of us are not thinking

unpresidented

An irrecoverable act of folly committed by a president
During his campaign, Trump said Russia was “not going into Ukraine”. Vladimir Putin had actually annexed Crimea. Trump also used a televised debate to defend the size of his penis. It seems very likely there will be more moments like these when Trump is actually commander-in-chief.
Usage: “One of Barack Obama’s most unpresidented moments was when he wore those mom jeans. One of Donald Trump’s most unpresidented moments was when he started that full-scale nuclear war.”

Feeling of loss when a president who has neither the temperament nor the knowledge to actually be president is elected president, causing one to wonder who will actually be running the country and triggering feelings of malaise and dread
See above for examples of Trump lacking both the temperament and knowledge to be president. See the recent Saturday Night Live sketch about who will be running the country. Look inside yourself for the feelings of malaise and dread.
Usage: The current situation.

unpresidented

The state of an impeached president.
