A Whole New Word

     A couple of days ago while scrolling down the Yahoo News page I came across this headline:
                           "GOP Strategist: Trump 'Beclowned Himself' At G-7 Summit"
      Beclowned himself?  thought I.
      I opened the article,

...which had to do with a tweet sent out by Steve Schmidt, veteran Republican political strategist who was John McCain's senior advisor,

...who, you may remember, was played by Woody Harrelson in "Game Change,"

...the made-for-TV movie about the 2008 McCain presidential campaign.
    It was a great movie, actually.

     Anyway, according to the article, after Donald Trump made an annoyance of himself at the G7 summit,

...alienated our allies,

...refused to sign the joint economic agreement, stormed off in a huff,

...personally insulted Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau,

...and escalated a trade war and a war of words between the United States and Canada,

(...Canada, for cryin' out loud?! It's a South Park movie come to life!),

...Steve Schmidt posted the following on Twitter:

    Ah yes, thought I, I get it: by his behavior at the G7 Summit Donald Trump made a clown of himself; in other words,

...he beclowned himself!

   And I thought to myself, what a wonderful word!   
   Can't wait to try it out sometime.
