People will never forget how you made them feel. Such wisdom from Maya Angelou. Donald Trump doesn’t seem to understand that.

That has been my number one takeaway so far in my Twitter News Trial. Regardless of his administration’s policies, whether this bill or that law results in America’s success or ruin, there are thousands of Americans who will not care. Their emotions, what they feel, because of some of the things he’s said, will not let them see the results. I’m not saying that’s justified, but it is the reality.

In my reading of the Game of Thrones books the phrase “words are wind” has appeared multiple times recently. Words are not wind. People remember them. How you talk to people matters. It’s a lesson we can all remember. It’s one we can apply to any discussions, political or otherwise, we have in the future. It’s one we needs heed moving forward. Sometimes measured words are most productive, because their wind fans no fire.
