But I was told people on it have to be on it for the rest of their lives.
If you don’t want to change, you might have to.
| Honestly. For Trump, Rosie O'Donnell is the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you, Rosie, for all you've done to put Donald Trump and President Trump into the limelight. We live in a democratic republic. People can criticize a President all they want. Remember the famous debate in the 2016 campaign when Megan Kelly (then at Fox) asked whether Trump was mean to women? And Trump responded, "Only Rosie O'Donnell" to the delight of the debate audience. It was a brilliant retort! The comment proved Trump was NOT your usual politically-correct politician -- and America loves him for that. And a decade later, Megan Kelly is one of Trump's biggest fans in the podcast/commentator sphere. In an FR post today: a CNN reporter tried to take Trump down a notch by labeling him Batman! Ha! And now MAGA is falling in love with the tough-guy Batman label. Ralph Waldo Emerson explained the principle here:
A great man is always willing to be little. While he sits on the cushion of advantages, he goes to sleep. When he is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something; he has been put on his wits, on his manhood; he has gained facts; learns his ignorance; is cured of the insanity of conceit; has got moderation and real skill. The wise man throws himself on the side of his assailants. It is more his interest than it is theirs to find his weak point. The wound cicatrizes and falls off from him like a dead skin, and when they would triumph, lo! he has passed on invulnerable. Blame is safer than praise. I hate to be defended in a newspaper. As long as all that is said is said against me, I feel a certain assurance of success. But as soon as honeyed words of praise are spoken for me, I feel as one that lies unprotected before his enemies. In general, every evil to which we do not succumb is a benefactor.
