No POTUS Can Be a Conclusion-Jumper

Friday came quickly this week, Friends,

As we continue to mourn the victims of the Orlando massacre, we've just learned that the second of the two 'black boxes' aboard Egyptair flight 804 was recovered this morning. We'll soon learn what caused the plane to fall from the sky.

Donald Trump will be gloating again if the jetliner was brought down by a terrorist's bomb. It would validate his rush to judgment.

This would also be the second time in a week we'd hear Nubbs say "I told you so," just as he disgracefully gloated following Sunday morning's mass shooting.

The gloating may serve to stroke his immense ego, which Cher described last July as "The size of Texas." But his chest pounding is not resonating with the general public.

Here I am looking presidential. You don't think I look presidential?
Trump U!
Remember, The Donald was quick to blame the Orlando attack on foreign Islamic terrorists.

When the shooter turned out to be a sexually-conflicted, internet-inspired sociopath  from Trump's own home town of Queens, N.Y., Nubbs simply lied  to a national TV audience and doubled down on his claim that the shooter was from Afghanistan.

If it turns out that Egyptair flight 804 crashed due to a mechanical failure, what will Trump say then?

He's already jumped to his conclusion, and none of us have ever seen him back down from any false claim he's ever made. God forbid, Nubbs admits he was wrong just once.

Conversely, we'll be hearing for the next solid week or more how great and prescient Donald Trump is if the aircraft was downed by a bomb. Keep in mind, no one has yet claimed responsibility for the 'bombing', which is highly unusual.

Either way, I don't expect the GOP presumptive nominee to handle the situation very presidentially.

We'll soon see if Trump falls right into the trap Hillary set for him by proving he's not temperamentally fit for the office.

It's frightening to think that a man with the fate of the world at his fingertips could make judgments on world-altering events before all the facts have been gathered. I, for one, don't want to die from his caprice.

Jumping to conclusions has no place in the Oval Office.
