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

The Rush to Bottom

I cannot take credit for these words of wisdom, and sadly I do not know who wrote it originally. So, I cannot acknowledge them by name but I can acknowledge their exceptional talent to get a message across with clarity and hard-hitting truths.   Whomever this author is, I thank and admire you and take pleasure in sharing this with others!   I have also included a video if anyone is interested in sharing it. “When the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great...but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.” An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one wi

How Much is Enough?

I have been thinking about integrity and honesty, and frankly should humanity even continue, but that is another thread. In my thinking, I keep coming back to the same question: How much or little cheating is enough? Or stated another way? How much of a lie makes you a liar? How much cheating do you have to do to be a cheater? How much do you need to steal for you to be considered a thief? How much infidelity do you need to be considered an adulterer? How much fraud to you need to commit for it to be criminal? How much of the truth needs to be changed for it to be untrue? How much shit exactly, does something need to have to be considered a shit sandwich? How dead must a person be to be considered murdered? How pregnant do you have to be to be considered pregnant? OK, the last two were off topic but the answer is “any”.. Any amount of lying makes you a liar. Any amount of cheating makes you a cheater. Any amount of stealing makes you a thief. Any amount of infidelity makes you an adult
