Anyway, last week The Donald visited an elementary school and sat in on one of the classes. 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 of the word "tragedy".
So he asked the class for an example of a tragedy. One little boy stood up: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, was playing in the field and a runaway tractor came along and knocked him dead, that would be a tragedy."
"No," said Trump, "that would be an accident."
Next, a little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained Trump. "That's what we would call a great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. President Trump searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand. He said: "If a private jet carrying you was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaimed POTUS 45, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," said Johnny, "because it sure as **** wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a **** accident either."
