A Conversation between Donald Trump and Lao Tzu
2017
A conversation between Donald Trump and Lao Tzu, bringing together the Chinese philosopher from 6th century B.C. to Donald Trump 2017 with direct quotes.
It starts like this:
Trump: I was a good student. I understand things. I comprehend very well, okay? Better than, I think, almost anybody.
Lao Tzu: The wise man is one who, knows, what he does not know.
And so it continues... onto subjects of humility, war, borders, femininity, and advice on how to be a person and/or a ruler. This is a conversation between two people who could not be more different from each other.
