There is an old saying about ambition...

[Wounded Bear]

I'll paraphrase here, because I don't remember it word for word:

Be careful how you treat people on the way up, because that is how they will treat you on the way down.

Trump has been pissing people off, including the press especially, as he "won" the White House. Now, he expects respect as he falls apart. We'll see.

One I learned in the Corps:

You want sympathy? It's in the dictionary, somewhere between shit and syphillus.

Enjoy the ride Donnie. Perhaps he'll finally figure out he's cornered and go the Palin route.

We'll see.

Be careful whose toes you step on on the way up, because you might have to kiss their asses on the way down.

3. The essential elements are there...

4. My fav is

The higher a monkey climbs the more you see his ass

[11 Bravo]

5. With Trump, that's problematic.

Because his mouth is a dead ringer for a baboon's ass.
