trump
Suit that dominates
The noun trump comes from card games and refers to a card or a suit that is most valuable in a particular round or game.
This meaning extends to figurative use, where a trump or trump card is a decisive advantage.
To trump in a card game is to play a trump card that beats an opponent.
Aside from cards, when one thing trumps another, it is superior, advantageous, or victorious.
When Trump is capitalized, it probably refers to Donald Trump, businessman and 45th U.S. president, or one of his real estate properties.
