Rudyard Kipling describes President Trump?

[jwoodie]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;
If you can think- -and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on! '

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings- -nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And- -which is more- -you'll be a Man, my son!

Drumpf failed to live up to the first sentence.

A lot of humility described in If that trump does not have. That’s like one of the main themes here along side of perserverence.

Do you have particular lines in mind? I admit that Trump is not good at "waiting."

Drumpf is not good at anything other than being a carnival barker.

Good grief. If you worship Trump a little harder, maybe he'll take your virginity.

So sayest the race baiter. Trump may be many things but he is trying to work for this country instead of what your nigga did for eight years.

Make allowance for their doubts. Treat triumph and defeat the same.

You could be right about those. Trump negotiates a hard line, but he has also seemed willing to compromise. As to triumph and defeat, we will have to see how he reacts to the potential takeover of the House by the Democrats. I suspect he won't miss a beat.

 

[jasonnfree]

...don't deal in lies, don't give way to hating. Lying and hating go hand in hand with Trump. Not that his obsequious followers are capable of recognizing this.

Rudyard Kipling

This person is a brainwashed Trump minion. Rudyard Kipling is turning over in grave that his poem is being applied to a person as disgusting as Trump.
Trump is not virtuous, not a truth teller, he is hateful; all described in the Poem. I am shocked a Trump supporter actually can read and reads poetry.
Must be a Russian troll.

I am not shocked that you are reduced to yammering irrelevancies.
