I don’t think he does, though. Or else, why try to stop it, as he flat out admitted? If it’s nothing, let it go on until completion, and everyone will find out it’s nothing.
Trump thinks it is something, and is trying to spin it as if it’s nothing.
On the other news: the funeral of Mauno Koivisto, Finland’s former president will be tomorrow.
He was well liked and respected man and famous for his HUGE HANDS
What I find interesting is when I landed my first post college job I found myself being trained to prepare powerpoint presentations to high up executives. During my training they kept telling me “fewer pages, less bullet points, more pictures.” Out of frustration I made a powerpoint file with a large number of pictures, very few bullet points and only 4 pages. This was on a very complex topic!
I gave it to my boss and he was looking at it. I expected him to crack up laughing at the joke or maybe even chastise me for it but he looked up at me, smiled, and said I was finally getting it! He then used it.
I started to think higher up executives have the attention span of gnats, were not remotely analytical about even less-than-complex topics and were, in essence, just winging it day to day making huge decisions on just that.
Then Trump was elected. He IS upper management in my experience and business leaders should not be involved in politics. They just don’t have the chops for it.
The problem often comes when you have to boil down the information too far and too much of it is lost.
Explaining that you need $10 million for a server to replace that old mainframe doesn’t parse well on a single page if you can’t explain to these lunkheads why that old mainframe isn’t a viable option going forward. All they’ll do is look at the immediate costs and say no.
Thank you. I was considering it a pity that this little gem of mine seemed to go quite unnoticed.
However I do sincerely hope this is a forehead slap, for I truly consider this being an insightful observation of what Mr Trump is thinking to himself, without reflecting any of what I do think about this ocherous buffoon.
On the other hand should you ever have meant that as a facepalm, you might try to re-calibrate your sarcasmo-meter, but this aspect of my post did not escape from you, of that I’m sure.
