"Maverick" actually has too many positive connotations for it to be even remotely applicable to Trump. Brett and Bart Maverick, who I watched avidly when a sprog, were ultimately men of good character despite cheating at cards. Maverick cattle were always depicted as wild, free spirits in the westerns. Wrong word. He's the enemy within. If he's a maverick bovine, he's one that's carrying tuberculosis, beef tapeworm and foot and mouth disease. Or, in his case, foot in mouth disease. And he's farting out airship loads of damaging methane to boot.
