with a bit of guessing and am not at all sure that 'walmart' ought to count as a valid English word.
Are their any combinations of 20 or fewer Latin alphabet letters, in which consonants alternate with vowels, that aren't valid English words?

Well, obviously that's just the exception that confirms the rule.

suffix salad
I think the longest legitimate suffix chain on an English word, with no hyphenization, is "magnificatorializationariously".
Yes, I made it up, but each suffix is properly appended to the previous form.magn- "great" -ify "to make" -ic "having some characteristics of" -ate <verb> -or <agent> -y "characterized by" -al "of the kind of, pertaining to, having the form or character of" -ize "to render, make" -ate <verb> -ion <noun> -ary "pertaining to, connected with, contributing to, for the purpose of" -ous "possessing, full of" -ly <adverb>
Filed under: I think I got that right. ... and Now then, what can we do with prefixes?

Nobody has determined what a Tsaukpaetra is (beyond a somewhat creative and distinct name)...

It's time to make asjmj a word, too. Preferably meaning something like "the all-powerful", or "the eternal ruler".

the way some act possesses the quality of an action of making something to have the kind of character of someone who makes something to have the same kind of characteristics of something that makes something great.
There's a better term for that. Bigly

All together it would be an adverb describing the way some act possesses the quality of an action of making something to have the kind of character of someone who makes something to have the same kind of characteristics of something that makes something great.
Were you trying for that punchline?

Actually, no. I came up with this several years ago, long before this presidential election season. The fact that it ties in with the prevailing candidate's quirks of speech and campaign rhetoric is purely coincidental.

Words I did not know: zebu, botanomancy, ritornelle, clairsentient, dittographic, maulstick, dev, quoit, vermeil, girandole, grogshop, and muezzin.
I guess they count slang ("dev") as words; at least I thought it was just slang.

Off top of head: botanomancy possibly has something to do with divination or prophecy using plants; ritornelle sounds like it might be a kind of mushroom; clairsentient is probably something like clairvoyant; dittographic - photocopying or like processes? maulstick or mahlstick is a stick with a padded leather cushion on one end that a painter uses to rest the brush hand on, allowing fingertip precision for fine work; dev probably not an abbreviation for developer - some kind of honorific I think; a quoit is a rope ring tossed at a peg for fun; vermeil and girandole no clue, but I would have picked both as words all the same; a grogshop is a bottle shop or liquor store; the muezzin is the guy who calls the faithful to prayer at the mosque.
So how did I do?
botanomancy
ritornelle
clairsentient
dittographic
maulstick
dev
quoit
vermeil
girandole
grogshop
muezzinEdit: missed zebu. Some kind of antelope?
Close but no cigar.
