In reply to the discussion: Trump on Fire [View all]H2O Man
(73,536 posts)52. There's an old story
that Malcolm X used to tell about Omar, who attempted to escape his destiny. Omar was on a path that he realized led to his death. So he began trying to escape his destiny, by taking side-paths that he believed led in the other direction. But at the appointed hour, he came to a crossroad, where his destiny awaited him. Death said, "Omar! I've been expecting you!"
Trump will continue to attempt to avoid his destiny. But the death of his presidency waits, patiently.
