trump's law

The idea that, for every action, statement, or tweet that Donald Trump has makes during his campaign or during his presidency, there is a past action, statement, or tweet that almost completely contradicts it.
"Trump going golfing so much during his presidency after criticizing Obama for doing the same thing is Trump's law in action."

Trump's Law

The empirical observation that nobody is too stupid or incompetent to design and execute a criminal operation or form and manage a criminal enterprise.
"Senator Lindsey Graham suggests that President Trump and his staff are too incompetent to organize a quid pro quo with the president of Ukraine, but Trump's Law suggests otherwise."

"Some people can't keep a honest job but are quite successful in their life of crime - this is Trump's Law in action."

"Trump's Law is in effect when an individual is incapable of successfully operating or is unwilling to engage in an honest enterprise, but is exceptionally prosperous operating on the basis of scamming, bribery, extortion, influence peddling, embezzling, defrauding, and other forms of corruption and crime taking place under the guise of legitimate business and government operations."

Trump’s Law

Trump’s Law describes a phenomenon where an individual (typically a public figure) creates a chaotic or problematic situation out of thin air, only to later "solve" it and celebrate the resolution as a massive personal victory. The outcome of the "solution" is almost always objectively worse than the original state before the person intervened.

In short: Creating a fire to take credit for putting it out with a glass of water.
Person A: "Did you see that? He threatened to shut down the entire trade route, caused a massive price spike, then 'negotiated' to keep it open at double the original cost and called it the 'Deal of the Century'."

Person B: "Classic Trump’s Law in action. He’s celebrating a disaster he built himself."
