The teacher asks Trump if he would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word “tragedy”.So he asks the class for an example of a tragedy. One little boy stands up and offers, “if my best friend who lives on a farm is playing in a field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that’d be a tragedy.”“Not quite”, says Mr. Trump, “that would be an accident.”A little girl raises 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 the president. “That’s what we would call a great loss.”The room goes silent. Trump searches 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 raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, “If Air Force One, carrying you was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens; that would be a tragedy.”“Fantastic!” exclaimed Mr. Trump. “That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”“Well’, said little Johnny, “because it sure as hell wouldn’t be a great loss and probably wouldn’t be an accident either.”
