Donald J. Trump: BRAIN SURGEON

A recent TV news clip featuring Dr. Ben Carson saw and heard Dr. Carson offering that the public should be patient with Donald Trump as he is learning.

LEARNING?

This statement by Dr. Carson, and many others (as Mr. Trump likes to say), set in motion a thought about a mother and father being told their child needs some form of brain surgery. They have gone to a Dr. Garson for their second opinion. He confirms the need.

“We want the best for our child, are you available?” mom and dad ask Dr. Garson.

The good doctor plops his bandaged hand onto the desk from his lap.

“As you can see I am out of commission, at least for thirty days and your child‟s needs are urgent,” he responds.

“So, who do you recommend?” they ask.

“I recommend Donald J. Trump,” Dr. Garson begins; “he has no experience but a fast learner and should be able to handle your child‟s brain surgery without any problems. After all, he will have a team of “experts” like Carl Icahn standing by for advice,” the doctor suggested.

“We know of a Donald J. Trump who is a real estate developer, is that the same person?” they ask.

“Yes,” confirms Dr. Garson, “yet he is now adding „brain surgeon‟ to his resume’. I met him during my campaigning for President of the USA Hospital System. Mr. Trump, as were eighteen others, was also running and he won the preliminary rounds, reducing the candidates down to him and one other,” Dr. Garson defined.

“We have heard about him on the TV and Internet news, and it did not sound good. He has not been kind to women, other races, and of late a baby,” mom and dad offered.

“Yes, I have also heard all of that but it is just the news media not being nice to him. I have met with him on many occasions for chats and he is different in person,” the doctor explained.

“But, he does not have ANY experience?” they asked. “And why is he different in person?” they added.

“No, no experience but he said he can handle all types of surgery, and he will have all of the experts he needs for any operation,” said Dr. Garson. “He is different in person as he has a split personality,” he confirmed.

“Well, we only care about our child‟s needs,” they state, “if your child needed the same operation would you let Mr. Trump operate?” they asked.

“Like Mr. Trump answered a question about being a grandfather, I also can only be around small children for a couple of minutes so that would not be one of my challenges, it would not be an issue,” the doctor responded with a smile.

“Why are you smiling,” they asked. “This is serious and your smiling makes us wonder if you were serious about recommending Donald Trump! Hypothetically, let‟s say you have a relative, or a child you care about, would you let Mr. Trump operate?” they challenged.

“It is not the same for me, I have my money in a Swiss bank and can afford to go anywhere to find the best doctor,” the doctor opened. “I am a U.S.A. citizen but very rich and stay in the U.S.A. for all of its benefits, and, again like Mr. Trump, I have found ways to not pay any taxes or rely on the U.S.A. for my manufactured products. I only live here in Florida for the weather and, again like Mr. Trump, for golfing and hanging with my other rich friends,” Dr. Garson concluded.

SERIOUSLY, do you really want someone without ANY experience operating for your future?

While the above is just fiction, what Dr. Carson said was true as to Mr. Trump’s learning.

Operating on the U.S.A. economy is every bit as critical as any type of brain surgery and no room for someone without any experience. Point of fact, the running of any government requires someone having a wide range of understanding and experience, not relying on „experts‟ except for back-up opinions.

‘On the job’ learning should be limited to flipping hamburgers, not even the buying of proper meat, not even the assurance the hamburger was cooked correctly. In any event, learning on the job should NOT be an option for anyone responsible for the life and wellbeing of someone else for the U.S.A.

Donald J. Trump has NO EXPERIENCE in the running of ANY government.

Just imagine, the nuclear attack warning happens and the President has between six and eight minutes to react. There is minimal time to consult someone, especially another billionaire who is likely to be on his yacht somewhere far away.

Do you really want someone with no experience (NONE) making decision that will affect you and your family‟s life and well-being?

And, for those that have bought into Mr. Trumps business acumen’s ‘Kool-Aid’, why haven’t they paid attention to the facts behind his bankruptcy’s and leaving contractors and vendors to go broke while he bragged about how much money he took out of Atlantic City.

Okay, Mrs. Clinton appears to be a liar. Moreover, clearly, under her marriage with Bill they had plenty of negative issues. However, President Bill Clinton has a solid/positive reputation when it comes to running the government. And, Mrs. Clinton — no matter what you might have heard, believe, or is true — has more than enough experience to be running our country from DAY ONE. In addition, this includes working with the republicans in congress as she did when she was a senator. Clearly, Speaker Ryan does not want Mrs. Clinton in the White House as he believes it will only make his job tougher. Yet, from the viewpoint of what is best for the country as long as there is a republican controlled congress there should be a democratic President. The U.S.A. grows best when there are opposing forces in congress so long as those in opposition realize they are in place to do the bidding of THEIR voters.

There was an individual interviewed on CNN recently who confirmed that he did not approve (to be polite) of Mr. Trump’s lacking temperament and experience. When this person was asked whom he was going to vote for since he was a republican, his response was simple. He felt Mrs. Clinton was by far the one with the experience needed. He was then asked about her trustworthiness, to which he was quite clear, while his trust in her was low, he would hold her accountable. Point of fact, that is what our check and balance government system has as its core. Not to overlook, Speaker Ryan, and his ‘side’ are putting up with “The Donald” so they can side step to check and balance system. With Mr. Trump as President, they feel almost one hundred percent certain NOT to have challenges or blocks with what they want to pass.

FOOTNOTE:

Both candidates talk about what they will (attempt) to accomplish within the first one-hundred days of their respective presidency’s. Understanding the quote John Lennon made famous (yet can be traced to a 1957 Reader’s Digest article, attributing Allen Saunders): “Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans” sit down with a glass of iced tea as you think about what could possibly go wrong. Set aside one of your favorite BOTTLES of whiskey to have handy when a really important situation confronts Donald J. Trump, should he be President, especially during the first one-hundred days. As you are on your third shot, remember, Donald J. Trump did not know that Russia invaded Crimea. This should scare you, especially when you are clear about Mr. Trump’s main man: Mr. Manafort, who has been confirmed as being a consultant to the Russian-backed, and prior, President of Ukraine.

***See Mr. Manafort‟s Wikipedia page for the person Mr. Trump has managing his campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Manafort

If Mr. Trump did not know that Russia had invaded the Crimea — if was clearly on all news channels, and he has Russian investors in his company — it can only make one wonder what else he does not know, or worse, cares to know. All one has to do is truly listen to any of his speeches to know when HE is talking he is not ‘well read’ and when he is reading from a teleprompter he is reading someone else’ words.

Mrs. Clinton may have a trust issue but not likely to have ANY decision-oriented challenges, especially with the important ones and after this continual emails issue she is likely to be clearly and deeply accountable.

BTW: Dr. Carson is a highly respected neurosurgeon. One would like to assume his education includes the ability to research and give solid thought to virtually ALL issues. His statement alluding to Donald J. Trump’s fitness to be President, with the illusion that he will learn what he needs to know… well, one might question the good doctor’s thought process.
