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.
