Kvell:
to be extraordinarily proud : REJOICE [Merriam-Webster]
Noted in “Trump will endanger American lives if it helps him get reelected,” Jennifer Rubin, WaPo:
The media too often feel compelled to underplay the abnormality and the utter unacceptability of this president so as to preserve the patina of “balance,” as if this is simply the counterpoint to last week’s Democratic convention. They will score his speech, kvell when he sounds less unhinged than normal and pretend this is a functioning administration. In that, they give him the greater advantage — the ability to delude Americans into thinking he is temperamentally up to the job.
