Sunday Thoughts 10/19/25

I usually avoid politics in my posts, but sometimes you just have to say something.

Trump reminds me of a neighbor boy who lived across the street from me years ago. One day, I saw him trying to start his lawn mower, and I went over to lend a hand. I knew he had a learning disability, and his father had left his mother long before, so I thought of myself as a father figure to him.

We looked it over and suddenly he pulled the plug wire off and started blowing in it… or tried to blow in it. I explained that he was blowing in a solid wire and there was no way it could help. (I assumed he saw someone blow in the gas line, which looks similar on the outside.) Anyway, we couldn’t get it going, and as I was leaving, I glanced back only to see him on his knees blowing in that damn wire!

His behavior was like he was always so sure of himself, and yet he was always so wrong. That’s what Trump seems like to me.
