Morphology

Donald + trumpet

This is a punny nickname combining the proper name 'Donald' with 'trumpet' (an instrument or verb meaning 'to proclaim loudly'), so a learner who knows both constituents can plausibly infer a mocking reference to loud or boastful speech. However it depends on cultural knowledge and recognition of wordplay (playing on 'Trump'), so the sense is not fully predictable from composition alone.

Etymology

The nickname Donald Trumpet may come from mixing the name Trump and the loud instrument trumpet, which is very loud and gets attention. That image explains why people use it to say he 'speaks loudly' or 'boasts'.
