What follows is a snippet of dialogue between Ronald Trump, a student, and his teacher, Mr Establishment:
Trump: I came to see you because you gave me a D in the course.
Establishment: That's what you earned.
T: What do you mean, "That's what I earned"? My final score in the course was 86, so I should have received a B.
E: I don't assign scores that way. I assign scores on the basis of height, and you're one of the shortest people in the class.
T: Height?! Are you serious? What does height have to do with one's grade in a course?
E: I laid out the rules on the first day of class; don't you remember?
T: Yes, I do; but the rules are stupid.
E: Why did you take the course, if you don't like the rules?
T: I had to! This course is required for my major. I can't graduate without this course.
E: Rules are rules. You knew the rules.
T: But the rules are stupid and should be changed!
E: Go away.
If you're one of those people who keep saying that the rules in states like Colorado were in place months ago, and that Trump knew the rules, I have news for you: Trump is (as usual) five steps ahead of you.
