Re: "Trump wagons"

Thank you for the explanation, but I don't see how you get back to "pickup truck" from "trump wagon" with that definition of "trump" (which would not be capitalized in that usage). The vehicles with the "fart can" mufflers here ("trump mufflers"?) tend to be base model compact cars, you rarely see them on trucks.

Where as there is a perception that Trump supporters are a bunch of rednecks riding around in their oversized pickup trucks (with a gun rack in the back and a dead deer across the hood), as has been referenced in a number of articles here on El Reg.

If a British reader is going to read it that way then I stand corrected. I do feel it's an odd comment to make in an article about the vehicle market in the USA, but humour is subjective. The insertion is ambiguous enough, and unnecessary to the article, so I still question why it would be included.
