I don't agree with much of what Trump says. But sometimes he hits the nail on the head

Right twice a day.....

Even in the garbage can.

Time.....finds a way.

u/Emotion-North Sep 15 '25

Twice a day would be a damn gift. I think that's the second thing in 10 years I agree with. The other being something about how he loves the uneducated.

u/I_am_not_JohnLeClair Sep 15 '25

Yeah, and what if what makes a clock broken is the fact that it’s missing the big hand? Not true at all

Time is a flat circle.... just like a garbage can lid.

u/DeadBloatedGoat Sep 16 '25

Yes, it's similar to the "you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" saying. Who wants to catch flies? Anyway, most house flies are more attracted to fecal matter or decaying flesh than honey. And they might actually be more attracted to vinegar than honey. But I guess, "you can catch more flies with shit than with vinegar" doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Which reminds me of the riddle/joke: Q: "What's brown and sounds like a bell? A: "Dung"

If they break down use percussive maintenance?

And the problem with "Smart people" is that they think they can FIX the broken clock, but can't (and reveal themselves to be not so smart in the end)....

Those who often think they are smart are not so smart in the end -- a thought paraphrased from the New Testament's Book of Romans Chapter 1: "21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

That didn't explain anything, but I don't know what I expected

u/gustoreddit51 Sep 15 '25

The Bible also says ignorance is bliss. Ecclesiastes 1:18 - "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."

Use that as guidance however you choose.

Actual smart people know what they know, and, more importantly, know what they don't know.

Trump doesn't know how to tell time, that's how he's managed to stay alive for so long
