nontrump

Nontrump is a term used in English with multiple meanings, depending on context. In political discourse, it describes individuals, policies, or movements that are not aligned with or supportive of Donald J. Trump. The phrase is often encountered in coverage of Republican Party politics and in discussions about the post-Trump political landscape. In this sense, nontrump or non-Trump can refer to politicians who oppose Trump, to policy platforms that distance themselves from his agenda, or to electoral strategies that do not rely on Trump’s base. The term is often encountered alongside more specific labels such as Never Trump, which denotes complete opposition to supporting Trump in elections, and pro-democracy or anti-Trump coalitions that seek to expand beyond his influence.

In card games, the standard term is no-trump, used to describe a contract in which no suit is designated as trump. While some writers may use non-trump as a synonym, the established usage is no-trump; the concept is that tricks are won only by plain suit ranking, with no trump suit involved.

Etymology and usage: The prefix non- conveys negation, applied to the proper noun Trump. The spelling varies; hyphenated forms are common in professional writing, while some editors may render it as nontrump in informal or less formal contexts.
