“Be Careful What you Wish For”

President Elect, Donald Trump

“Be  Careful  What  you  Wish  For”

(Oh S**t, I’m the President!)

By Glenn Peppers                                 11-11-2016

“Oh S**t I’m the President!” To me that was the look that Donald Trump had on his face as he came walking out to the podium, along with his family the night of his win over Hillary Clinton for the Presidency of the United States, as he walked toward the podium, he looked (to me) as if he were a man going to the gallows, more than claiming a victory, for the presidency! he looked undone!

Why does he have that look on his face?

Donald Trump if not anything else by nature is an open book of emotions out of pure reflex, which mostly often shows up on his face to his joy or displeasure. And the look on his face that night, and from the pictures and live feed that I saw, especially when he sat down with Barack Obama in the Oval Office was one of, “Oh Shit, what the hell have I done?” 

This was the first time that I ever picked up a vibe that this guy swag was so far out of whack that he just looked as if he was feeling totally out of place, like a three year old at his mother’s book meeting with all girls and no toys to play with! He clearly locked up, and acted totally out of his element! Which is completely uncharacteristic for an ego maniac like Donald Trump! Sitting there with solemn looks on their faces, they both looked as if they had had a fight in the lunch room at school, and were now sitting in detention after school!

That old saying is true folks. “Be careful what it is you wish for! Because you just might get it!” Sometimes, you can talk yourself into a fight or a battle that is bigger than yourself! Mouthing off at the bully on the corner is fine. But one day, you’re gonna have to walk by that corner, with that bully standing there, waiting on you! And you’re going to have to do battle!

Personally, I feel that Donald Trump has bitten off a bit more than he can chew! Sure he’ll play the role, and be the mouth that spouted off one too many times, and be every bit as controversial as he’s ever been. But more than this, he’ll never be ready for what it really takes to be the president of the United States! And I’m sure he’ll get the White Card Pass of excuses whenever he screws things up badly! Now that’s just my thinking! 

Hell, he might prove me wrong! But as I see things, the job involves way too many responsibilities, ethical demands and a graciousness that he seems to lack! Being president is a 24 hour a day job! Now I’ve never been president of anything, but I can tell you from what I’ve seen and heard from president’s past and present. The one thing the job requires is diligence and a keen listening ear! One other component of being president involves poise and dignity! Not to mention a noticeable care an concern for the american people and this country! 

I don’t think that Trump is ready for Secret Service people being around him all the time! He appears to be a private man who slinks away from people when he feels that he is being besieged upon or hounded. I think that he is use to his own security people, and telling them what to do, and will quickly become annoyed at being followed all the time by people who are not fully in his control! This billionaire rich guy named has his confirmed comfort zones already established, and breaching them might end up being a problem for him! 

Trump has already shown that he has a clear destain for the White House Press (as well as most any media based operation). This was clear because immediately after his meeting with President Obama, Donald Trump hurried off to his TRUMP Jet and was outta Washington in a heartbeat! And all without the media catching wind of his wheels up and out toward New York! Ditching secret service or the white house press might not be a good idea as president! There are things that he just better get use to as president! 

See, being a president also means that there are secrets and unseen protocols that have to be answered and attended to... And there’s that operative word again.... “Secretly!” There are diplomatic moves, and modes of communication with all world leaders that are almost traditional in nature that I don’t think Donald Trump is ready for! Will he be ready consistently, every morning for the CIA and Homeland Security daily briefings at the crack of dawn, instead of sitting up in bed Tweeting insults to Rosie O’Donnell, etc! As president, that will have to stop! 

Its like he's saying in his mind, "Umm, Ah, I'm not sure!"

I question his ability to compromise and possibly work on a bipartisan level on issues and laws, and bills offered up! How will he handle disaster relief during hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or heaven forbid some kind of attack on our soil, or any other catastrophic event befalling our planet? Playing and acting as President won’t help the millions who will need a clear thinking, knowledgable leader for the people! I get the feeling that the Presidency to Donald Trump is just another possession! Something to Own or WIN because of a dare; or maybe because Barack Obama mades jokes about Donald Trump at a press conference dinner four years ago! 

I remember watching that broadcast, seeing Trump sitting out there in the audience looking angry and prune faced as if he could bust as Barack Obama made some pretty funny jokes and humor at the Donald’s expense! This I feel was the spark that lit the flame for his umbrage, and his raw passion to engage, and win the White House; and to become President of the United States! To me his run for the presidency was all drudged out of Donald Trump’s, “I’ll Show that N***R!” Moment! And whatever Donald wants, Donald get’s, Right? 

Well, now that he’s shown america’s first black president that he could in fact take his job from him, and shave the world a new real fancy goatee, He now looks as if he wants to say. “Ok, I proved my point. Now let me go back to Trump Tower, put on my Trump house shoes, and my Trump robe and snuggle with my Trump Binky and Tweet mean evil cyber messages to people!”

We all know the excited look Trump has on his face when he’s winning and is truly satisfied! The look he had on his face Tuesday night, late Wednesday morning at 2:48am was not one of celebration! It was the look of “Oh Snap! They bought it! They really bought it!” 

Over the last year or so, it kept looking to me as if this man were trying intentionally to sabotage his campaign! I mean seriously, he’d say and do some of the most outlandishly mean and cruel things, and yet people just kept supporting him! And the crowds became wilder and even more unruly! Jim Jones couldn’t have had any better Cult Followers! 

It was almost as if Trump was trying to piss people off, so that he wouldn’t have to advance to a one on one race for the presidency with Bernie or Hillary, yet he couldn’t stop this steamrolling, runaway train wreck once it got barreling down the tracks at break neck speed! 

So now this 70 year old man will have to turn his business over to his kids, and actually work for a living! And his work will be quite involving indeed! Yet and I’m sure that Donald Trump will acclimate into the job just fine, soon enough!... To a point!  We all know that he will have epic battles with somebody in Washington, sooner or later. That’s a given! Who will it be? Who knows! 

But you can bet your bottom dollar that this man will not hold his tongue (nor his actions) for long! And that what worries me a bit, because Trump’s sense of revenge for what he would consider acts of betrayal against him could be detrimental to all of us! Lets say that he thinks or even suspects that somehow his idol, Mr. Putin has thrown him under a bus one day! Will we all be in danger of a World War event as a result? I’m praying not!

Still, not even thinking that far ahead! Let’s just talk about the next couple of months! Being president is taxing on the mind, as well as the body! Look at every president who has been in office over these many years! If they didn’t dye their hair, a great majority of them went completely gray within the first four years in office! Look at how gray Barack Obama has become in these almost eight years! 

Obama Graying quickly in 7 and a half years

The many secrets kept (many for our own safety), and secrets that if we all knew would ruin us, as well as our peace of mind! Can Donald Trump handle such things without having a true poker face? There are things going on in this world, and on other worlds that you and I don’t have a clue about. How will Donald Trump react to things that would give the bulk of us nightmares for life? I shutter to think! I just imagine all that Orangey wispy hair turning a bright silverish gray in a matter of a few years, if he doesn’t dye his hair!

Ok Mr. Trump, you proved your point! You’re the President Elect. Now the question is this. Constructively, what are you gonna do with it? If you’re talking about deporting millions, and all those other horrible things you boasted about in all your rallies, than you are not what America needs! So if not anything else. Wipe that, “Oh Shit, I won, what am I gonna do now!” Look off your face and listen to those around you who know how things get done in Washington. And please, do not drag with you that clown car of inexperienced people who’ve befriended and kissed your ass along the way to Washington with you! Nepotism and Favoritism should not be part of the plan! 

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again!...... “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!”
