demagogue
1 ENTRIES FOUND:
dem·a·gogue ˈde-mə-ˌgäg 
variants or less commonly demagog
1
: a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power
variants or less commonly demagog
demagogued also demagoged; demagoguing also demagoging
: to behave like a demagogue
: to treat (something, such as an issue) in the manner of a demagogue
Did you know?
When the ancient Greeks used dēmagōgos (from dēmos, meaning "people," and agein, "to lead") they meant someone good—a leader who used outstanding oratorical skills to further the interests of the common people. But alas, the word took a negative turn, suggesting one who uses powers of persuasion to sway and mislead.

But when in the decades following the Revolution the people seemed to succumb to the deceit and flattery of mushroom demagogues, who were the popular counterparts of courtiers, the Federalists became bewildered and bitter.
