What a series of learning moments are being bestowed upon the public these days, and with the likelihood they will continue for a few more months.

Though in the category of unintended consequences, Donald Trump, just by being himself, is giving the public lessons about as effectively as possible in how people should not behave, act and interact with his fellow man.

It might, perhaps, be more beneficial if we could be reminded in more conventional, positive ways in how to conduct ourselves, but we’ll take what we can get. After all, sometimes learning has more impact if it is acquired from exaggerated presentations or unique sources.

Trump certainly is the embodiment of many of our less flattering personality traits, to say the least, as he exhibits himself to the millions in such vivid, unhidden styles.

Accordingly, I thank Mr. Trump for those de facto seminars. However, I would think that many people hope his course will end by early November or sooner. By then, we will be overly saturated with his undesirable human behavior.
