I was skeptical of that Trump statement, and then I read that billionaire Trump actually did just that a couple decades ago. I should learn to trust the best President we’ve had since Ronald Reagan.

There is that, but if you notice the preface of Trump’s statement in which he said,

“You never know until you are tested, but I think”

and the end of it in which he said to the assembled governors,

“. . . and knowing many of you, I think many of you would too”

then Mr. Trump’s claim becomes aspirational and inspirational rather than arrogant. Skeptical ^Cynical journalists skipped over that part.

Surprisingly enough. </sarcasm>
