I was sitting at the truck stop the other day having some breakfast. One of my fellow drivers turned to me and asked me if I was surprised at the amount of support that Donald Trump was getting.
The answer to the question came rather quickly, despite the idea that I have had no coffee so far that morning.
“Look”, I said… ” we have warning labels on lawn mowers warning people that putting their hands on their feet under the mowers could cause injury.”
At that point, my coffee arrived.
“We have warning labels on cups of coffee, saying the coffee is hot and it can burn you if you’re not careful.”
After pausing for a sip of the freshly arrived coffee, I continued.
” We have warning labels on plastic bags warning people not to put that plastic bags on their heads.”
Shaking my head, I finished the thought…
“So the answer to your question is no. That people are supporting Donald Trump doesn’t surprise me at all.”
Somehow, I don’t think that was the answer he expected.
