For people who make it to the national level, there is enormous wealth. For local and state level players there is far less opportunity to do well. I assessed my chance of reaching the national level. Then I compared it to engineering. One can do well in an engineering discipline simply by being in the top half. One can do very well by being in the top one-third. I chose engineering over politics. I did very, very well.

Trump supporters seem to be operating under the bizarre assumption that North Korea's desire to enter into direct negotiations with a US President are a recent development occasioned by Trump's deft Twitter diplomacy.
In reality, North Korea has been seeking out such a meeting for decades. Trump's contribution to the peace process was not to induce North Korea into coming to the table, since they required no inducements, but to break with longstanding US tradition by finally agreeing to have the meeting.
Yet Trump's cancellation of the meeting, which was only historical because he agreed to have it, is somehow a victory for Trump? If anything, it sounds like he's just dithering about in order to cover the massive blundering of Bolton and Pence, all while throwing around the kind of brainless, macho rhetoric that many of his easily impressed supporters love to hear.
Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.
