Etymologically, the entry records: Blend of Trump + dumpster fire, an analogy to the way a dumpster fire causes everybody to focus on the flames and to the destructive qualities of a fire. Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is Trumpster fire, spelled T-R-U-M-P-S-T-E-R- -F-I-R-E, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
