The real reason that Trump is not only stupid, but totally incompetent.

....Let's try to imagine another person as President of the United States. A threat to the United States is approaching. It is a very dangerous threat. Some kind of "flu" or much worse. A threat that could kill
thousands of people.....What to do???

.....Simple answer: Call in a group of experts on this, "flu" and ask these experts what to do.

Pick your experts from a variety of very highly qualified people who study the problem. Ask other countries what have they done..

.Then, here is the key....Follow the advise of the experts and leaders of other countries on what to do with the"flu" and have one of those "experts" follow up to make sure what was supposed to be "done" was/is done...

So how long would this take?
Let's say the meeting is called for 11am in the morning, and is over by 1pm. Not complicated since "others have dealt with the problem"...then the President could talk to his advisors and hear out what to do...Then start to ...."do it"...Maybe this talk takes another day..

....Let's say the this getting the info stuff takes ........one day, and getting started take: one day
Yep....two days....just 2 days........................ (maybe getting started takes 2 days, not one)
Now the President of the United States has help, and once the orders were given, lots of people would
help to save lives from ............"the flu"
..... Why?....Lots of people in the U.S.A. care about ........"saving lives"

Sadly, and ironically, Donald Trump is currently the President of the United States
doesn't give a "shit" or"a damn about saving lives." How do I know?

........ Because if Trump gave a shit about this topic, he would have done something about it.

A wonderful poem to share on Thanksgiving Day...

I learned this poem 63 years ago in 5th grade...in Miss Sullivan's class. Please read entire poem,
it is short, ...and it is a classic, Thank You
:

Abou Ben Adhem

By Leigh Hunt

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold:—
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold

And to the presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?"—The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so,"
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,

But cheerly still; and said, "I pray thee, then
Write me as one that loves his fellow men."
The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blest,
And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.

Tony Schwartz (wrote "Art of Deal" for Trump) 4 words of advise:"Flee to North Korea" Yahoo News:

https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-ghostwriter-tony-schwartz-advice-010403965.html
________________________________________________________________________________
If Donald Trump plans to write his memoirs after he leaves office, he won’t be able to count on Tony Schwartz, the man who co-wrote his 1987 bestseller “The Art Of The Deal.”

Schwartz let the president know in no uncertain terms on Tuesday not to ask for his help, tweeting: “Dear Donald, No, I won’t write your next book. Sorry, knowing that the Art of the Deal was the only successful book you ever published.”

Considering Schwartz has become a big Trump critic over the last four years, it is doubtful Trump would ask him to write a book.

Schwartz also offered the outgoing president some not-so-friendly advice on what to do with his post-White House life.

Dear Donald,
No, I won't write your next book. Sorry, knowing that the Art of the Deal was the only successful book you ever published. "My advice: flee to North Korea."

It is just a guess...but I believe a WAR..is coming in the Republican Party.

..Of course none of us will be involved, but the leaders of the GOP will..( in my speculation...) fight a fight like we have never seen before. Maybe 3 groups involved: Trumpers & Trump, vs McConnell & his clan...and moderates. (???) Maybe a 4th group..hard nosed Republican Conservatives vs the rest of them.

..No, I don't know who or when, but I am guessing after they return from Christmas break..When Trump has nothing to say about nothing. These Pukes are not nice people, and they will not be nice with each other. Of course Trump has never had anything to say...but that is a different discussion)..

..I am speculating that the ...WAR..will be for the control of the Puke Party or whatever they want to call it. But the bottom line is that this will be ugly in a way that few of us have seen. I am guessing that
they will fight the battle as if the world depended on it........

Maybe their world does depend on it. Some say that Trump will be part of it, but I think that now that Trump is an.... OFFICIAL ......".LOOSER." he will get lost and never found....

Hiding away working on his divorce and memories.....Yes, he will show up from time
to time..but he won't answer question...The press will ask him about the deaths he caused, and he will
not answer that one, & then..he argue about the "stupid media"...and look even stupider than usual..

Of course I could be totally wrong on this, but that is why this group is...."Creative Speculation" Of course I have been wrong before, but that is ok, because that is what we do in this group.. Maybe, just
maybe, on this one,.. I will be totally correct and then I can have a .......HUGE PARTY!!!!! & .............
............EVERYONE FROM DU IS INVITED!!!!......
.................oh well....back to the drawing board
for my next brilliant idea .......

Do.You think your vote doesn't count?..In 4 states, AZ, WI, GA, VT the difference was 164,000 total.

For Joe Biden over Trump...Those 4 put the election on our side..for Joe.
That is a total of 164,000 out of.....11,300,000 votes.....in those 4 states..
....................Hit the link below and see for yourself, if you don't believe...

https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=&oq=president+election+results&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGNI_enUS494US495&q=president+election+results&gs_l=hp..0.0i433j0l4.0.0.0.14269...........0.1jA5dT4pU-w#spf=1606184062304

Look carefully at... Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia & Vermont..

Look at the totals for Biden & Trump at those 4 states...

If just 164,000 voters had gone for Trump instead of Biden then Trump would have won..

That is 164,000 out of 11,400,000 (total for 4 states)......about one out of 100......far less....
..................Someone can figure out the exact numbers, not me..................................

So when someone says....Every Vote Counts....Sometimes it does, and in this case those 146,000
votes that went for Joe Biden over Trump...elected him... President of the United States of America

...........If you were one of those votes in AZ, Georgia, WI or VT....We all ....THANK YOU..!!!!

In Arizona the difference was 11,000
In Georgia the difference was 20,000
In Wisconsin the difference was 13,000
In Vermont the difference was 120,00...
total....164,000....hit the link, & see for yourself....total Electoral Votes

(I have to apologize, original totals were off a little, these totals including Vermont correct that error)

also, that 164,000 total in 4 states...determined the outcome of an election that had over 150,000,000 votes..
even though Biden won by 5 million votes


Biden got 79,886,000
Trump got 74,880,00

How many days till the Trump disaster is officially over?

Yes, he will be on the sideline waving his flag, but he will be there with lots of others waving flags.
Let us keep official count...How many days?

The stupidest, most vicious, most idiotic words Trump has ever said, "It's a hoax."

Those three words killed people because many people believed Trump. Those three words are what
Donald Trump will always be remembered for, now and forever. That's it, and that is all.
....Pass it on.........

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
