Obama: “So, Donald… I’m not gonna lie to you. This job is hard. Really hard. Not sure if you remember how I looked back in 2008, but I probably aged about 20 years in the last 8. Wait, how old are you, again?”
Don: “70.”
Obama: “Oooh. Well. Hm. Good luck with that.”
I’m sure he thinks in narcissistic terms and thinks being President means that he can only succeed and will be praised, respected, and rewarded for whatever he does, since it’s a bump in the social hierarchy he so desperately wants to climb.
What we need to tell him is that even more important, respected, and admired than being a President is being an astronaut. Way cooler, way more awesome, only the most smart, talented, winning of the winners get to be that, but that since he is so incredibly awesome, and such an amazing, skilled winner that we’ll gladly send him to a special best-astronaut [containment] chamber on the ISS, and that if he’s ready he can get aboard that rocket today.
