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."

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."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
