The Buffon in the White House?

Love him or hate him, and a lot of people hate him, Donald J. Trump has done a lot of things while serving as the 45th President of the United States, which is being ignored by most people. As they often say, it is the people who do the most that get ridiculed. Instead of talk, talk, talk, he puts his words into action. This is what we get for electing a no nonsense businessman, who knows how to get things done as President, rather than just a politician whose main job is actually to get reelected. So, what has Trump done in his first term that is noteworthy to be labelled a buffoon?

The buffoon in the White House just brokered three Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless wars failed to produce.

The buffoon in the White House is the first president that has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.

The buffoon in the White House has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever!

The buffoon in the White House has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.

The buffoon in the White House turned NATO around and has them start paying their dues.

The buffoon in the White House neutralized the North Koreans, stopped them from developing a further nuclear capability, sending missiles toward Japan, and threatening the West Coast of the US. Also putting an end to the cease fire that has been going on for over 65 years to broker a peace deal.

The buffoon in the White House turned our relationship to the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy. Hello.

The buffoon added over 450,000 manufacturing jobs in 3.5 years. Reversing a 20 year trend of declining manufacturing jobs. I guess he found that magic wand?

The buffoon in the White House has accomplished the appointment of three Supreme Court Justices and close to 300 Federal Judges.

The buffoon in the White House lowered your taxes and caused your stock market to move to record levels over 100 times, positively impacting the retirements of tens of millions of citizens.

The buffoon actually shrunk the wealth gap of the lowest two percentiles for the first time in history.

The buffoon actually reduced the poverty level in the United States. The first time that has happened since 1959.

The buffoon on average put $6,000 in the pockets of every average American.

The buffoon in the White House fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine - it will be available within weeks. We still don't have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of other diseases that arose during previous administrations.

The buffoon in the White House rebuilt our military - which the Obama administration had crippled and who had fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year of office.

The buffoon in the White House uncovered widespread pedophilia in the government and in Hollywood. The buffoon in the White House is exposing world-wide sex trafficking of minors and bringing children home to their families.

The buffoon in the White House works for free and has lost well over 2 billion dollars of his own money in serving - and done all of this and much more in the face of relentless undermining and opposition from people who are threatened because they know they are going to be exposed as the criminals that they are if he is re-elected. I get it. You do not like him due in a large part to big media's relentless false narratives. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people. What are you doing besides hating him and calling him names? As Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country."

I hope one day that my resume is as accomplished.

The Moldy Middle

While taking statistics during my quest to get an MBA and while earning my engineering degree, the professors always emphasized the importance of finding the statistical mean of any population by using the Central Mean Theorem (a.k.a the highest point of the Bell Curve). As an engineer, this was essential in order to maximize throughput, minimize cost and waste, and ultimately make a better, faster, cheaper widget. A funny thing happened on the way to the dark side of marketing. I discovered that the only thing in the middle of the road was quite literally dead road kill. I do not know if you remember stores like Bradlees, Ames and Service Merchandise (just to name a few), but they all folded because the environment changed and they were caught trying to service the mythological “average customer.” Part of that change came when Wal-Mart began its juggernaut with the discount department store. Wal-Mart did two things right: 1) Focused on “mobile” consumers, and 2) Fo...

Fortune Cookie of Persistence

There are many things or factors that can determine a person’s success or failure, but one thing that cuts across EVERY successful person I have met or read about or studied is perseverance, persistence, stick-to-itiveness, and determination. As I say, "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The desire and ability to press on has and always will solve the problems of the human race and divide those who achieve from those who might have been." Incredibly, this ONE characteristic is really what makes a true entrepreneur as testimony to these little factoids: Coca-Cola only sold twenty five (25) bottles in its first year of business! They grossed $50.0 and spent $73.96 on merchandising. But they kept on going and never gave up, and nowadays the sell more than one billion bottles per day! Apple Computer co-founder offered the computer design to Hewlett-Packard five times and was rejected by both HP and Atari (the giant at the time) for acquisition. A...

Your Customers (and your Mother) Always Know

Over the years, I have been amazed at the number of businesses that think they can "get away" with something with their customers. Either by lowering product standards, charging for useless features, making it more difficult to get customer service, or just flat out lying to them. So, I will explain why this is so detrimental with a short little story about a mother and her son and the son's female roommate. It involves the eternal knowledge and wisdom of mothers, and if you try to “pull something over their eyes” they have a way of using your own words to pry the truth out...just like your  customers. ___________________________________________________ A Mother comes to visit her son for dinner. He lives with a female roommate. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty her son's roommate is. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between her son and his ro...
