All the dissident right people – especially those over 50 – who foam about how Trump is a nothing remind me of the old joke about the elderly guy faced by oncoming floodwaters.

The cops come and tell him to evacuate. Three times. He declines and says he& #39;ll trust in God.

Then, as the waters drive him to the second story, locals in a boat come by and offer to carry him to safety. He declines and reiterates that he& #39;ll trust in God.

Later, on the roof, about to be engulfed, a rescue helicopter arrives. Again, he declines.

Finally, he& #39;s swept away by the floodwaters and dies. He goes up to heaven and the first thing he says is, "God, I trusted in you and you let me down!"

To which God replies, "I sent 3 cars, a boat and a helicopter".

For those who claim Trump& #39;s a nothing and a fool – especially those over 50 – I have to ask: COMPARED TO WHAT? COMPARED TO WHOM?

Anyone who thinks Trump is just like the rest of them clearly hasn& #39;t been paying attention – FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.
