Eureka - I figured it out-Trump is espousing Heraclitus' Philosophy

[packman]

He is a student of that ancient Greek Philosopher who stated:

'We both step and do not step in the same rivers. We are and are not’

He steps into a different river every day, every moment and at THAT one second that is who he is and at the same time that is who he is not. Trump KNOWS we live in a world of flux and what is reality today is in the past tomorrow.

Damn, the man is great and beyond our human ken - I am sending this off to Sarah H for her next press conference.

If you would like to garner some of Trump's brilliance and understanding of how life really functions:

2. I recently watched a NOVA special on recent anthropological discoveries in South Africa.

They described human hominid origins as a flow of diverse groups of proto humans that may have flowed together that resulted in modern humans. There would be no single proto human ancestor. I tend to look as Trump as being the antithesis of this philosophy he has a single rigid world view. By our nature we may be the result of a river that flowed together and not single branches from a tree. This would probably be very disconcerting to a Donald Trump or authoritarian who divides life solely into winners and losers.

3. More like the philosophy of the average Cletus.
