Today, I taught a college course with a group of 30 adults. I was educating them on leadership and gave a 25 minute lecture, with examples like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, and how they changed the world. Then I opened the forum to see who inspired them. The response? Donald Trump. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my social studies teacher thought it would be a great idea to have a casual debate about Margaret Thatcher and her legacy. Within 10 minutes, the entire class was yelling, screaming, throwing stuff at each other. I got hit in the face with a binder. FML
Today, our school started an anti-bullying policy, and we watched a video about bullying. After the video, I told a teacher about a bullying case going on that I know about. His response? "Tell someone who cares!" as he walked away, chuckling. FML
Today, my coworker insisted there must be an underlying, romantic reason for why I spend so much time teaching him everything, and that I didn't mean it when I told him that's what I'm paid to do. I'm actually supposed to train this guy for three weeks. Two more weeks to go. FML
Today, I was jumped and savagely beaten to the ground by a group of six-year-olds wearing Disney princess masks. FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML
Today, my music students began a lively debate about whether or not a music stand would make a good weapon for the zombie apocalypse. What am I teaching them? FML
Today, I was on a train, sitting next to an old man who was reading a newspaper. Suddenly, he sneezed without putting his hands over his nose. Instead of turning towards the window, he turned towards me. FML
Today, I was teaching a woodshop class. We were using power tools, including drills, and pieces of pine wood. While helping a kid to hold a piece to practice drilling, he went too far forward with the drill. It went through my hand. FML
Today, I got nominated to sit in a chair in the middle of the gym during a high school rally while the entire school got to throw paper balls at me. FML
Today, I was practicing my lines for theater class in the hall. My partner and I chose a script where we argue over me stealing her boyfriend. Since it started to sound like a real argument, another student said that I was a "crazy bitch" and punched me in the face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I guess his hair could inspire 60 year old men to brush their 3 remaining hairs over their bald head instead of just giving up and wearing a hat or toupee...

Trumps not only wealthy, he's the leader on a massive company, nothing wrong with being inspired by him as opposed to someone who had a dream and wouldn't get up from a seat.

"Someone who had a dream and wouldn't get up from a seat", also known as standing up for black rights in the face of aggressive racial oppression from the entire US government.

I don't think that was an attack on Martin Luther King or anyone else. I think he was just making a point that most people don't accomplish as much as Donald Trump, and that his success and determination in accomplishing his goals is admirable.

Oh please. Trump is not the real leader, the board of advisers is. He was just lucky enough to be born in (lots of) money. He is a media ***** with a pea sized brain. His dad funded the company and made the family wealthy, not him.

What's wrong with "The Donald" being that person's inspiration?

It may be vain of them to be inspired by him, but it makes sense that they want to be successful.I just hope they can turn out to be better individuals morally. Money, business, and success don't have to change who you are as a person.

They don't have to change who you are, but they usually do.

No, they in fact never do. They just show you for who you really are. In most cases, you are actually a douchebag.

What has Donald trump done more then those two have for civil rights and racial barriers??? NOTHING! Trump is a money hungry troll. FYL indeed.

it takes leadership to build several business across several industries. why do people put down those who are successful?
Jabberwockyy 13
There is nothing wrong with his success. I believe people find the issue to be how he is as a person. While i do not know him personally (shocker right), he does seem to be a sort of narcissistic individual. Though I do admire his business savvy, just not him as a person.

Good god it's like people here don't know anything about Donald Trump. This isn't about hating money. It's about passing over ACTUAL successful people. Why not admire Jeff Bezos, Jack Welch, Marissa Mayer, Bill Gates, Bob Iger, or Warren Buffett? There are SO many better business people than Trump. It's blowing my mind that people are defending these students. It's like saying you're a basketball fan and then claiming to not know who Michael Jordan is. Like, how much have they actually read about business to come up with him as an idol?

Exactly! Trump INHERITED his initial seed money, he did NOT earn it himself. He uses the bankruptcy loophole to cover his mistakes, regularly postpones interest payments on his bonds, and cheats at every opportunity. He is, like the Kardashians, what is wrong w America. Admiration of these morally corrupt "stars" who have nothing to contribute to society, except their own unearned, greedy personal gain, shows how naive you all are.

What about North West? She can be inspirational. At least, I'll have direction in my life.
