Donald Trump is visiting a school. 

In one class, he asks the students If anyone can give him an example of a "tragedy". 

One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street when a car came along and killed him, that would be a tragedy."

"No," Trump says, "That would be an ACCIDENT."

A girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a  cliff, killing everyone involved... that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," explains Trump. "That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS."

The room is silent; none of the other children volunteer.
"What?" asks Trump. "Isn't there any one here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he
speaks: "If an airplane carrying Trump were blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy."

"Wonderful!" Trump beams. "Marvelous! And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly would be no great loss!"
