Explaination of Donald Trump

While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old farmer, whose hand was caught in the squeeze gate while working cattle,*
the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

Eventually the topic got around to politicians and their role as our leaders.

The old farmer said, "Well, as I see it, most politicians are 'Post Tortoises'.''

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post tortoise' was.

The old farmer said,
"When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's a post tortoise."

The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.

*"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there,*
he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function,
and you just wonder what kind of dumb a . . . put him up there to begin with."

Post-tortoise!

I shall add that to my list of idioms!

Brilliant!
