While campaigning, Donald Trump was visiting a school and in one class, the topic was the meaning of words.
The teacher asked Mr. Trump if he would like to take part in the discussion and act as moderator as students were to try to use and understand the word "tragedy."
Mr. Trump asked if someone could describe what a tragedy would be. A young man raised his hand and said, "If my friend was playing in the farmers field and a tractor's brakes failed and ran over the boy, killing him, that would be a tragedy."
Mr. Trump replied, "no, that would be an accident. Anyone else care to try?"
A little girl said, "if a school bus filled with students ran off a cliff and they all were killed, that would be a tragedy."
Mr. Trump said, "no, that would be a great loss. Anyone else?"
The room remained quiet for several moments when a lad at the rear said, "If your private jet, with you on board Mr. Trump, were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
Trump gloated and grinned from ear to ear and asked, "and why would that be a tragedy?" to which the lad replied, "well, it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss and it wouldn't be an accident either."
