A Bad Bargain
Faust, in the legend, traded his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge.
To “strike a Faustian bargain” is to be willing to sacrifice anything to satisfy a limitless desire for knowledge or power.

A Trumpian Bargain
Trump who had no soul to trade, opted instead to barter away an adult vocabulary for an adolescent desire for attention and to be a petulant president.
Any takers?
His limited vocabulary is annoying but by no means the worst part. Ugh. 34 more months.
