trumpiness, truthiness

Not sure what I find more damaging about Trump - "They're making a mistake because I have a gut, and my gut tells me more sometimes than anybody else's brain can ever tell me." (Such a nice pairing with Colbert's sense of Truthiness "We get it. We're not brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We're not members of the factinista. We go straight from the gut, right sir? That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you are going to say "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book.") or that Yellen didn't get renewed because she's short - "The president also appeared hung up on Yellen's height. He told aides on the National Economic Council on several occasions that the 5-foot-3-inch economist was not tall enough to lead the central bank, quizzing them on whether they agreed, current and former officials said." to quote The Washington Post.
