2. The ONLY thing Trump and Marcus Aurelius have in common is a P.O.S. adult son

and even then, the number of P.O.S. adult sons don't match up (2 vs 1 respectively).

If anyone has never read The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius, do yourself a favor and do so. It probably won't change your life (though it might), but it WILL definitely make you weep when you compare that man's introspection, values, morals, and sense of duty to the goddamned Dough-Turd in the White House today.

3. Love the Daily Stoic. Stoic Philosophy gets me through these Trump Days.

4. Great Post

I appreciated the post and the Trump clan are the antithesis of the Stoics!

5. Marcus Aurelius surely had Trump in mind:

"To expect bad men not to do wrong is madness."

6. Thank you for posting.

We are already seeing a lot of good in this crisis. People who are helping others. Groups coming together to help the community.

I have a lot of hope.
