How about “jackanapes”?
I don't know that one. Use it in a sentence that's between three and seven words long.
Explain
From 2017:
"In his bellicose statement Thursday, Kim also repeatedly referred to Trump as a "dotard" — an arcane term for a senile or weak-minded elderly person.
"I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged U.S. dotard with fire," Kim said.

Bellicose is a fun word you don't hear enough as well. Another infrequently used word that springs to mind when Trump speaks is 'bloviating'. He's a bloviating dotard.
It's not a lost word like dotard, but ive always liked referring to him as braggadocios. People don't say that word aloud much at all.
That's a good one. I'm adding it to my vocabulary.
I didn't think dotard was a lost word. I've certainly used it in the past.
