I have wondered at, and then been impressed by President Trumps ability to take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. But Andrea Widburg at the American Thinker explains how Trump does it and remains a happy and joyful warrior. Her post can be found at Trump explains the secret behind his astonishing emotional resilience.
From Trump's The Art of the Deal:
When people treat me badly or unfairly or try to take advantage of me, my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard. The risk is you’ll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don’t recommend this approach to everyone. But my experience is that if you’re fighting for something you believe in — even if it means alienating some people along the way — things usually work out for the best in the end.
The former president added that he doesn’t let his legal troubles bother him too much.
There it is. If Trump were given to quoting the Bible, he might have said, “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” (Matthew 6:34.) At a visceral level, Trump understands that you take each day as it comes, dealing with that day’s needs and not worrying too much about the next day.
Now, as I have said, I am not a Trump guy, and I am not wild about his style either. The man has many flaws, though which one of us does not? The thing is, he is proving himself to be a great man despite his flaws. Moreover, his greatness stands in contrast to the small men and women who are arrayed against him. It reminds me of Gulliver's Travels and the Lilliputians. Given a choice between Trump and almost any other politician running, I will vote for Trump every time.
