At the Risk of Condescension

Don’t hate the buffoon for his ignorant views; You’d pity instead if you walked in his shoes, For what you would find is The truth that a mind is A terrible thing to not know how to use.

This speaks of so many. Well done. Isn't there a phrase "Ignorance is Bliss"?

Yup. I just try to remember that the POTUS was once, long ago, a mother's precious baby, with boundless potential...And see how he's wasted it: He only grew up to be President of the United States of America. That's all...Honestly, looking straight in the mirror, I should have done 1/10,000th as well with what I was given. (The truth hurts). ~ gw
