A Trump’s Law would be more about the rising contradictions of a politician’s behavior and their Constitutional reality. It could be about a descent into madness and/or an ascent to authoritarianism.
This would be unlike Godwin’s law, which is a retrograde/regressive argument about the devolution of fallacies in argumentation to Hitlerian premises.
The RWNJ culture war and class war promoted since WWII are indicative of that dissonance, where antisemitism and anti-Communism became the Hollywood Blacklist in the 1950s, and how Jim Crow gained a second reconstruction in the 1960s.
Cognitive Dissonance while a largely ideological phenomenon, does have material consequences beyond behavioral stress that are often referred to as False Consciousness.
They have agency and structure in that an individual with political power could tend to megalomania and majoritarian social groups could see themselves somehow as minority ‘victims’, and could even be said to be impervious to plain reason.
Trump’s no Hitler, he would have to have served heroically in the military and have actually written a book, although he is embiggened to neoliberal capitalists, and in that context resembles more the Italian version of fascist autocrat or media mogul and certainly has the mental if not the physical make-up to be a Mango Mussolini, or a Diamond Joe Quimby.
Any one of a basic array of conservative virtues — intellectual humility, deference to custom, acceptance of time-honored norms — would have spared Trump the last week’s news. Yet his insistence on substituting his personal instincts for nearly 23 decades of accumulated mores encumbering — slowing down, hedging in — the American presidency is, on any conservative account, a habit of spectacular personal arrogance and public recklessness.

This is why, ultimately, it is no longer tenable to maintain the cognitively dissonant bifurcation between the supposed conservatism of Trump’s policies — a dispute for another time — and the un-conservatism of his disposition.

The real estate developer also went after others who have criticized him in recent weeks, implying that former Texas Gov. Rick Perry was unintelligent and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush weak.
“I’m not a fan of Jeb Bush. Because Jeb Bush is in favor of Common Core, and he’s weak on immigration. Those are two bad things,” Trump said.
Trump even took a shot at former Texas Gov. Rick Perry for wearing glasses.
“He put on glasses so people think he’s smart. People can see through the glasses,” Trump said.

Some supporters simply find Trump entertainingly naughty. Others, however, have remarkable cognitive dissonance. They properly execrate Obama’s executive highhandedness that expresses progressivism’s traditional disdain for the separation of powers that often makes government action difficult. But these same Trumpkins simultaneously despise GOP congressional leaders because they do not somehow jettison the separation of powers and work conservatism’s unimpeded will from Capitol Hill.
