Trump is Contractor #6 in the story below:
You live in Florida where it never gets very cold. In your living room, there is an 8 ft. wall with sliding glass doors that open to your ‘outside’ glassed-in Florida Room. You want to remove the wall so the living room becomes bigger and encompasses the glassed-in Florida Room.
You live in Florida where it never gets very cold. In your living room, there is an 8 ft. wall with sliding glass doors that open to your ‘outside’ glassed-in Florida Room. You want to remove the wall so the living room becomes bigger and encompasses the glassed-in Florida Room.
You ask 6 contractors to look at your house and bid on the job.
Five of them come out, spend 1-2 hours looking and measuring and taking many photos. Two weeks later, all of their bids say the wall is ‘load bearing’ and will need a major structural effort to remove it. The bids range in cost from $12,000 - $18,000.
The sixth contractor calls you and says he can’t make it, but he is sending his son. His son shows up, stays about 10 minutes, and leaves. He looks about 19 years old. His father calls you later that day and says it’s a small job, no problem, and will only cost $4,000. You mention what the other contractors said about the ‘load-bearing’ issue, and he dismisses it and says "trust me”.
You decide to go with the 6th contractor to save money. Welcome to President Trump.
Epilog:
The ceiling above where the wall used to be buckles. You call the 6th contractor and he says it must be your fault. Sue me if you want… I have a lot of very good lawyers.”
It costs $25,000 to make repairs, which the city requires that you do.
So what will Trump be like as President? In the story below, he is the new football coach:
Your city's football team coach just retired after a good season with a 9-3 record and making the play-offs. A new coach is hired who promises to win the Super Bowl his first year as coach.
Towards the end of the first year, the team's record is 4-6. The new coach says don't worry, this is a building year and he had to undo all the bad stuff the previous coach had done (even though the record was 9-3 last year). He says, trust him... they will win the Super Bowl next year.
The second year is no better with a final record of 5-7. The coach says the owner is to blame because he wouldn't pay enough for good players.
The third year is even worse ending at 3-9. The coach continues to blame the owner but also says many of the players are lazy and not willing to work hard.
By the end of the fourth bad year, the owner and fans have had enough, and they fire the coach. The coach goes on TV and blames everyone who was involved with the team as well as the fans.
Prediction:
Trump will blame anyone he can when he falls short of his poorly thought out claims.
