Morphology
proud + Trumpster
The adjective 'proud' simply modifies the noun, so the phrase's structure is fully compositional, but the noun 'Trumpster' is slang (derived from the proper name Trump plus an informal agentive ending) and may not be known or predictable to a B1 learner. Because understanding the whole phrase depends on familiarity with this slang formation rather than ordinary lexical composition, the expression is only partially transparent to typical learners.
Etymology
Proud Trumpster comes from the name Trump plus the ending -ster, which turns a name into someone who belongs to that group. The word proud shows they openly wear their support, so the phrase means 'a person who strongly and openly supports Donald Trump'.
