What is increasingly disappointing me about President Trump is actually from a story that Piers Morgan told one night on Fox News.

Morgan told the story of when he was interviewing Kanye West and Morgan said to West "Let me give you a piece of advice..." West cut him off and asked "What's your net worth? Are you worth a billion dollars?" Morgan replied "no," and West then said "Then I don't care about your advice."

The point of this story is that President Trump is worth so much money that it surprises me that he still lets people get under his skin. I've met some very rich people socially, and when I've been invited to dinner in restaurants with them they are usually loud, dismissive, and don't care what others think about them. "I can buy this place if they don't like it" is a usual retort.

The fact that Trump lets all these people of lesser accomplishment push his buttons in so obvious a way and with so obvious a desired result to hurt him, it surprises me that he still engages them on their terms like that.

If I could give President Trump a piece of advice...

I'd ask him why doesn't just ignore the sniping, and advise him to let it roll off his back and let his deeds do his talking for him. I'd advise President Trump to not let his detractors of lesser accomplishment steal his gravitas from him and use it to attack him with it on their terms.

Agree!
He needs to see the political wisdom in this Churchill quote:

Winston Churchill famously said: “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”

He won’t though!
