RedCross Paradox 

The delaying of fixing an issue (political) in order to raise more funds under the guise of a fear based probability regardless of how unlikely that circumstance is in reality.
The RedCross raises the most funds during a disaster. The RedCross paradox seems to have affected politics wherein the fund raising party wishes to promote a fearful scenario rather than fixing the issues at hand.

“The party loves how controversial he/she is. They raise the most money because he is so unpopular. It’s the RedCross paradox! Largest donations always come from disasters!”

Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
