RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

THE OVAL OFFICE

President Theodore Roosevelt had a famous motto that described his foreign affairs diplomacy style, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

President Harry S. Truman spoke a famous line in response to a question about the stress of the job; 
"If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen."

President Dwight David Eisenhower had a paperweight on his desk in the oval office that is inscribed "Gently in manner, strong in deed."

President Donald R. Trump has not 'spoken softly' or in a 'gentle manner' and seems to react badly to the 'heat'.  As for the kitchen, he's hanging in there so far.  I know he has a 'big stick' - let's hope he uses it wisely.
