 To be absolutely clear, however, apart from their being partial homonyms, the proper name Trump, which is a simplification of Drumpf, a surname of German origin, is not linguistically related to trumpery, the root of which is French, and originally meant “to deceive.” The Merriam-Webster web site explains:

Not to put too fine a point on it, but anyone who tries to convince you that there is anything deeper than a rhetorical connection between Trump, trump up, and trumpery is engaging in a boldfaced example of the latter. Feel free to call them on it.

So Snopes/Merriam-Webster indcates that you are a boldfaced exampled of trumpery.  Does it feel good to be bashed by Snopes?
