I heard about Tennessine, that a team of scientists from Tennessee has helped discover it. It looks like they had their on agenda when they named it.

The densest element has been around for years. It is called Administratium. It is highly reactive and slows down every process with which it comes in contact. It has a negative half life, meaning it doubles in size every couple of years.
I can hardly wait to see it react with Trumptium!!!

Closely akin to Bureaucratium, an element with particularly slow atoms.
