Another Thought On #45’s Poor Education

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain.  It’s not something you learn in school.  But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

Why #45 (#LazyDonald) Was Destined To Be A Failed Presidency

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think.  The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.
—  Thomas J. Watson
[Actually, “just” thinking can not settle ALL of the world’s problems.  Compromise and diplomacy are also often required…  More reasons #IncompetentDonald never really had a leg to stand on.  —  KMAB]

#45 Is More Of A Piddle Than A Puddle

A river that is deep does not make waves when someone throws a stone into it.  The same applies with us.  If you get angry at insults thrown at you, you are a puddle.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple.  But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.

#45: It’s Tougher Being President

Life’s tough . . .  it’s even tougher if you’re stupid.
—  John Wayne
“I loved my previous life.  I had so many things going,” Trump told Reuters in an interview.  “This is more work than in my previous life.  I thought it would be easier.”
—  Stephen J. Adler, Jeff Mason, Steve Holland
From a Reuters article / interview:  “Exclusive: Trump says he thought being president would be easier than his old life“
You can find the article on-line at:   http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-100days/exclusive-trump-says-he-thought-being-president-would-be-easier-than-his-old-life-idUSKBN17U0CA
[I guess that’s what happens when you go from a spoiled rich kid (70 year old child when elected) to someone (President of the United States and leader of the Free World) who has to “work” because the job demands it of you.  Which is probably why he never really wanted the job.  —  KMAB]
