Trump to brighten your day
Donald Trump was visiting a primary school in Orlando and visited a grade four class.
They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked Mr. Trump if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy" .
So our illustrious Republican candidate asked the class for an example of a "tragedy"
one little boy stood up and offered : " if my best friend, who lives on a farm is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that would be a tragedy "
No, said Trump, " that would be an accident "
a little girl raised her hand " if a schoolbus carrying 50 children drove of a cliff , killing everyone that would be a tragedy "
" i am afraid not " , explained Trump " that's what we would call a great loss "
the room went silent. no other child volunteered , Trump searched the room "isn't there someone here who could give me an example of a tragedy ?"
finally at the back of the room little Johnny raised his hand, the teacher held her breath
in a quiet voice Johnny said : " if the plane carrying you was struck by a ' friendly fire missile and blown to pieces , that would be a tragedy "
" fantastic ! " exclaimed Trump " that's right and tell me Johnny, why would that be a tragedy ? "
" well " says Johnny , " it has to be a tragedy , because it sure as hell would not be a great loss.. and you can bet your sweet ass it would not be an accident either ! "
