Oh Venus !
Named after a goddess of beauty, Venus is our closest neighbor in the solar system and thanks to reflected sunlight, one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. Because the surface of that planet is very hot and considered inhospitable to

(with apologies to Heisenberg) I am suggesting there exists a Trump uncertainty principle that states Trump's political positions and their destructive velocity can not be predicted, only viewed in retrospect to the resulting chaos. Strangely enough

Two newly characterized and named syndromes.
