The Trumpiest bird has to be one that engages in deliberate deception and lies. So I'll go for one of the mimics (say the mockingbird), or one of the nest parasites (e.g. cowbirds or cuckoos). What say you?

Came here to say this. Gotta be the cuckoo to me. Invades a nest, kicks out the other eggs, and then its brood just sits around and demands food even as it grows larger than the bird whose offspring were murdered.
