Whether it's a downpour of rain that comes to wash away the midsummer, or the sun that peaks out from among the duvet of clouds to signal the onset of spring early in the morning, sometimes the world has a funny way of sending messages.

Then again, sometimes it makes a pretty obvious statement when certain people start meddling with stuff they shouldn't be messing with.

Oh, hey President Donald Trump, we almost didn't see you there.

Yesterday, a pretty sizeable sinkhole opened up in front of President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Palm Beach estate in Florida, and funnily enough we have a feeling it's not happened by coincidence.

Of course, town officials have since noted the 4 x 4 sinkhole formed on Southern Boulevard directly in front of Mar-a-Lago. 'It appears to be in the vicinity of the newly installed water main,' read their statement to the public.

Some people have a feeling ol' Hades might have come knocking for the President of the US with regards his recent activities in Saudi Arabia, after the 45 President was spotted just a day before laying his hands on a mysterious glowing orb with two other world leaders (Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi) during his visit to the country.

For Pete's sake, Trump, what the literal hell did you do?

Okay, so to be fair, the President was actually inaugurating the Global Centre for Combating Extremist Ideology in Riyadh, but certain people are pretty sure he made some weird wish to the powers that be when he touched the orb.

Just look at his face.

Lots of people have taken to Twitter to muse on the idea that Trump's recent trip to Saudi Arabia – where his hand was swatted away by his wife Melania, and spoke of the battle 'between good and evil' – might have contributed to the cause of this apparent gateway to hell outside his Palm Beach abode.

Look Trump, it's one thing to annoy the world but it's a whole other kettle of fish when you start messing with the underworld. Sort it out.
