This is the tweet of the year. It's not from a president. But it could be about a president, and about the rest of us, too, if only we will learn the lesson:

"I've failed many times in my life and career and because of this I've learned a lot. Instead of feeling defeated countless times, I've used it as fuel to drive me to work harder. So today, join me in accepting our failures. Let's use them to motivate us to work even harder."

Ol Joe Bite me is a bumbling old fool no different than when he was a bumbling younger fool. He's the same guy. He is the geezer of gaff that cannot string 2 sentences together and only knows his shoes are untied when he trips over the strings. That's why he wears loafers. before then someone told him his shoes were untied so he squinted and looked down and said "Where, where?"
