A modification of Hanlon's razor; to attribute both malice and stupidity when explaining one's behavior.
Hanlon's razor advises not to attribute malice to a behavior when it could be reasonably explained by stupidity - Trump's razor advises attributing both.

"Supporters of 47th President Trump cheered on as he promised tariffs, thinking it would harm the target nations and boost the US's economy. Both assumptions are incorrect and based in a lack of understanding of tariffs and harmful intent - hence another example of Trump's razor." - MSNBC, probably.

Get the Trump's razormug. Australian Slang
Relevant to card games.
A trump is a playing card which is elevated above its usual rank in trick-taking games. Typically, an entire suit is nominated as a trump suit; these cards then outrank all cards of plain (non-trump) suits.
Any sort of action, authority, or policy which automatically prevails over all others.
So, being surprised (or "shitting yourself") made that the immediate prevailing thought above all others.

Boss: Don't try to pull the Trump card on me! You're being fired because you took a bath in the kitchen sink!
MAGA: LIBERAL SCUM!!!!!!!!!!

Get the Trump Cardmug. The man who forgot to wear a condom. Real estate developer and businessman who was the father of Donald Trump–who, if you don't know for some reason, is basically the second coming of George Bush, but promising to be MUCH worse–and husband of Mary Anne Trump (née MacLeod).
