Dear Merriam-Webster, please use Trump as your example on usage. Examples of usage by Krugman, Reid, Brennan, or any combination of the above will be fine. I mean, you already tweeted it. So...
A kakistocracy (/ˌkækɪsˈtɒkrəsi, -ˈstɒk-/) is a system of government which is run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The word was coined as early as the 17th century.
Dictionaries should also run a picture of Trump, along with the definition of kakistocracy. Trump has helped flesh-out definitions of other words, like fornication, nepotism and incest (recall his remark about how his oldest daughter was the kind of woman with whom he'd like to sleep). He will add many things to our lexicon, that will endure over the ages. Presidents like Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR, Kennedy and Obama, will be remembered for the great things they accomplished, to preserve and enhance our country. But Trump's legacy will be one of shame, which will include all those who aided and abetted him or were just too weak to stand up for what was right for our nation.

I'm trying to look at the positives here. I have learned more about politics and government since trump was elected than in the entire rest of my life. And now vocabulary too!
