Editing Trump (section)

==Trigger events==
[[Trigger events]] that lead to Trump powers are similar to other trigger events, with the key difference being that they involve powers.<ref name=":4">Trump triggers involve powers.  The person triggering need not know this - it matters to the shard. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jvj6T84NB9Uq81y71MIgb9tk9lQ80cORFj9z2o5OB8c/edit#heading=h.4iammk6uzyxv TRUMP], document by Wildbow.</ref> As such, Trump trigger events always match one of the other eleven classifications in terms of what kind of powers it might give.<ref name=":1" /> How the Trump aspect expresses itself depends on two factors.

First of all, the degree powers are involved and the proximity of the parahuman using these powers.<ref name=":5">In terms of ‘trumpness’, take note of how close the relationship is between the triggeree’s shard and the other shards that it ‘pings’.  Proximity and degrees of separation matter here.  Being face to face with a threatening cape would be the most direct relationship in both proximity and separation, while a tinker drone might be a serious degree of separation, with proximity varying.  A fire created by a pyrokinetic that has since left the scene or ceased uffecting said flames would be very low in both categories, to the point that it might have very little ‘trumpness’, even to the point of not being recognizable as a trump classification. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jvj6T84NB9Uq81y71MIgb9tk9lQ80cORFj9z2o5OB8c/edit#heading=h.4iammk6uzyxv TRUMP], document by Wildbow.</ref> As powers become more involved and the parahuman gets closer, the Trump aspect gets stronger, relatively to other classifications.<ref name=":5" />

Secondly, the type of Trump power to manifest depends heavily on the relationship (level of focus, level of abstraction, and feelings) to the powers:<ref>The key points to pay attention to in such a trigger are the degree of ‘trumpness’, the associated elements of the trigger, and finally, the relationship to the powers: how focused, positive, negative, or abstract they might be. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jvj6T84NB9Uq81y71MIgb9tk9lQ80cORFj9z2o5OB8c/edit#heading=h.4iammk6uzyxv TRUMP], document by Wildbow.</ref> For example, if the relationship is a positive one, the ability to gift powers becomes more likely,<ref name="Two" /> while the ability to steal them is indicative of a negative relationship.<ref name="Three" />

The person triggering does not need to know that powers are involved in his trigger event.<ref name=":4" />
