Morphology
Trumplican + faction
The nonce headword 'Trumplican' is a creative blend of the proper name 'Trump' and the party label 'Republican', and combined with the clear noun 'faction' a learner who knows 'Trump' (and ideally 'Republican') can likely infer it means a subgroup that strongly supports Trump. However, the blend is nonstandard word-formation and relies on recognizing the political name-play rather than regular morphology, so the relation is only partially predictable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
Trumplican faction joins Trump and Republican into one name to paint a clear picture: a smaller group inside the party that strongly 'supports' Donald Trump and his ideas. That's why it means 'a group within a political party' that pushes for his policies.
